Upgrade Your Watch
Instantly With a New Band

Necessity is the mother of invention—or in this case, action. Because had my watchband not broke, I doubt I would've been looking to get a new strap for my trusty vintage Hamilton watch. But it did, so I took the opportunity to think about what kind of strap I should put on my beloved timepiece. The standard brown leather it had come with was fine, but for the warmer weather, I thought, maybe I should go with a rugged rubber or NATO strap in a bold shade or pattern. I coud go with a more luxurious take on a classic leather band. Or embrace the vintage styling and pair the Hamilton with a Milanese metal mesh strap. And you know what? I realized I didn't have to choose. Most of the options out there are really affordable and so I bought a few and have swapped out my bands twice already. The process takes just a few minutes and gives my old watch a brand new look and feel.
