Description

In response to many who have asked, we developed a new version of our Glomar Explorer Hook & Loop Strap with a striped format inspired by our Five Eye Nylon Watch Strap—Stripe. It will initially be offered in two distinct variants: Olive with Black Stripe and Black with Red Stripe, and with either stainless steel or PVD black hardware.


Modeled off the traditional hook-and-loop dive watch strap, the Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap - Stripe is a premium single-pass adjustable adventure strap for those who use their watches as tools. 


We set out to create a premium hook-and-loop watch strap, something that many consider an oxymoron. The strap name is derived from USNS Hughes Glomar Explorer, a deep-sea drillship platform that was used by the CIA to recover a Soviet submarine K-129 in the Pacific Ocean in 1974.


For a comfortable fit, we developed an ultra-thin custom matte weave nylon construction, a custom 316L stainless steel engraved buckle, and a snug strap keeper to ensure the watch remains secure on your wrist. 


Currently available only in our Standard Length (see below for sizing information), the Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap - Stripe is available in two colors: Olive with Black Stripe and Black with Red Stripe, and with either stainless steel or PVD hardware. 


Glomar Explorer Standard: Ideal for wrist sizes between 6.5 - 8 inches (16.5 - 20 centimeters)


* Sizing can vary depending on the watch and how tightly you wear the strap. The 22mm Glomar Explorer typically wears shorter than the 20mm version because of the longer lug-to-lug lengths often found on watches with 22mm lugs. *

 

* Watch, coins, and other items are NOT included.


* If international shipping is required, all customs, handling, and import fees will be paid by the customer.

 

Specifications

Width: 20 and 22 mm

Buckle: Stainless Steel or PVD Black. Modeled on a vintage dive weight belt, the custom buckle is engraved with the W.O.E. insignia and “USE YOUR TOOLS” on the inside.

Thickness: 1.0 mm where it connects to the watch

Standard Length: Approx. 280 mm / 11 inches (not including buckle)

Wrist Size:

Standard: For wrist sizes between 6.5 - 8 inches (16.5 - 20 centimeters)

Imported from Asia.

*Glomar Explorer fit depends on the watch and how tightly you wear the strap.*

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

This stap is the real deal. I'm loving the color way it complements the watch. As other reviewers mentioned, adjusting it is an absolute breeze. This is my third strap from WOE, and it definitely doesn't disappoint. Use your tools!

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

My 3rd WOE strap. Quality, materials, details. Worth every penny

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

I own a lot of Glomar Explorers. There are more that I want to buy that are currently out of stock. I don’t think there’s much more to say than that.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Such a high quality strap and very comfortable. Highly recommended!

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

High quality strap!

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Fits perfect!

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Hands down one of the best tool watch straps out there. The velcro makes “micro adjustments” a breeze. Very solid construction; I wear this watch/strap every day with no issues. Take it in the ocean, pool, etc. Curious to see how the velcro holds up over time, but for now its great. Even when it wears out I’ll just buy another

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Very comfortable nylon strap

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Second variant of this strap I’ve bought. Absolutely love it.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

This strap has to be hands down the most comfortable nylon strap I have ever purchased. Threw this on my hamilton and literally placed another order and purchased a second one for my CWC

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

The Glomar strap has been a wonderful upgrade to my G-Shock, I don’t mind the resin band that comes with it, but the Glomar is much more comfortable and adds a pop of color and wearability to the watch. Very satisfied with it so far.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

W.O.E. Delivers with a fantastic strap. Get a perfect fit every time with the Glomar. This is my second and I’ll be purchasing a third.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

I love these straps, the hook and loop gives me a better fit than the traditional buckle style.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Hey it’s great! 2nd strap from these folks. Love this one with the black stripe! Looks great on my PVD Scurfa Diver One!

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

I've made so many purchases from WOE over the last couple of years and what I get is always amazing and of the highest quality. What you see is what you get and I've never been disappointed. I bought a 20mm and a 22mm for my black Seiko GMT and my black Sangin Overlord and the straps just look like they were made for them. I don't see myself ever changing them out. If there are any of these left you better step up because they sell out fast, and for good reason. I was on the list for some time until they released a fresh batch and it was well worth the wait. Buy these straps!

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Most comfortable strap I've found so far.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

My favorite W.O.E. Strap on a new Tudor FXD near the crater of Mt. Etna. Incredibly comfortable and secure. The keeper prevents a Palermo pickpocket from ripping the velcro loose and pulling the watch off of my wrist. So no worries. I suppose slicing the strap or my arm off would be the next options…. I guess that’s what the tourniquet is for I really appreciate the 22 mm option for the FXD. .Thanks as always for the delivering great products and customer service!

Great experience, great strap. No issues. Works well for on duty as it’s quick to take off, wash, etc. plan to buy more.

Love it

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Phenomenal strap. You can feel the quality. Really appreciate the addition of the keeper. Already surviving the gauntlet of yard work, diaper changes, spring to do lists and the occasional round of golf. This is definitely not another cheap pull through strap to throw into the back of a drawer after a few months of stretching. Will be back for more. Thanks WOE team.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Strong work! Fits perfectly nice and snug. Outstanding build quality!

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

My number one fav strap to run on my turtle. Super comfortable and doesn’t scratch up my laptop. Secures well when cycling. Plan on getting another one for a new Tudor here soon

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Very comfortable and well made.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Top shelf....best hook and loop I've used.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

It’s a good looking strap with a nice set of hook and loop and hardware. But, I was highly disappointed in the quality and daintiness of the fabric at the 47 dollar price point. Having said that, It just feels like a 20 dollar nato strap with nice hook and loop and hardware. Strap keeper is also kind of pointless. Once you struggle to get it over the material, it makes the strap bubble out in a weird way. Maybe send a corporate spy over to C&B to gather intel on their chevron material.

Solid Strap!

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Love it

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

I've purchased so many straps from WOE at this point I've lost count. This is the first Glomar Hook & Loop though. Picked it up for my Sangin Overloard and it looks amazing of course. Looks like it was made for it. I would easily buy this strap again, especially for the price. It's a great buy. The black 20 mm with the red stripe is sold out but as soon as they restock, I'll be picking one of those up as well. This is a solid strap.

Customer photo review of Glomar Explorer - Hook & Loop Strap Striped

Loved the look of the strap when I saw it and it’s even better in person! It was awesome you used my watch as the model in the photos so it made the decision easy. Great product, absolutely love it, there will be more!

They are just tools. Life is easier if you have the best.
