Phoenix Straps

As many of you may know, Mike from Phoenix Straps is approaching retirement after decades of producing some of the finest nylon watch straps in the watch community.

Since 1978, Phoenix has built a loyal following amongst military personnel, watch enthusiasts and collectors alike. Originally supplied to the MOD, Phoenix straps have earned a reputation for quality, durability and authenticity.

Today, Akio Watches has partnered with Phoenix Straps Ltd to help keep production running and ensure these iconic straps remain available for future generations of enthusiasts.

These aren't mass-produced fashion accessories. They're genuine Phoenix straps, produced by the same workshop that has been making them for nearly five decades.

Every strap sold here comes directly from the Phoenix workshop in the UK.

    Is Phoenix back?

    Sort of, and only here.
    A few colours are available now, made from authentic UK-milled nylon using traditional methods & these methods take time.

    Mike is retired (kind of) but has agreed to produce limited runs for AKIO. We’ll release more if he’s up for it, but quantities will always be small....
