MonoPass™ Elastic
Stretch-fit comfort. Deployant security.
A woven elastic single-pass strap that moves with your wrist, closed with a deployant clasp instead of a buckle.
What MonoPass fixes
A traditional pass-through strap doubles under the watch, closes with a buckle you have to fumble, and leaves a tail to tuck away. MonoPass is a single-pass design: no second layer beneath the case, no excess length, and a deployant clasp that opens and closes like a bracelet.
That last part matters more than it sounds. A deployant stays a closed loop even when it's open, so the watch stays on your wrist while you fasten it — the same way a bracelet does. A buckle strap comes fully apart, which means balancing the watch in one hand while you thread the other end through a keeper. MonoPass goes on the way a bracelet goes on: one motion, one hand, watch never loose.
Clasp compatibility
Works with both MonoPass clasps Any MonoPass strap takes any MonoPass clasp in the same lug width — both the original MonoPass Deployant Clasp and the newer MonoPass Precision Deployant Clasp. A 20mm strap takes a 20mm clasp.
Not compatible with the Standard Deployant Clasp, which is for our 2-piece straps.
Sizing
Two widths, each covering two lug sizes:
- 20mm — fits 19mm and 20mm lugs
- 22mm — fits 21mm and 22mm lugs
Both comfortably fit wrists from 5.75″ to 8″. Your clasp needs to match your strap width — a 20mm strap takes a 20mm clasp.
An Anchor original
We designed the first single-pass elastic built around a deployant clasp. Every other elastic strap still asks you to stretch it over your hand. This one opens.
Designed in Southern California, shipping since 2024.
Why elastic
Elastic solves the problem every strap has in the heat: your wrist changes size through the day and a fixed strap doesn't. This one flexes with it — snug when you're still, giving when you swell, never needing readjustment.
Paired with a deployant it becomes something a buckled elastic can't be: you set the length once and it goes on and off in one motion, without stretching the strap over your hand every time.
- Woven elastic with consistent recovery — no bagging out over time
- Flexes through the day without loosening
- Single-pass, so nothing doubles under the case
- Quick-drying — good in heat, good after water

Customers praised the elastic strap's comfort and soft feel, with one noting it "looks great, feels great thanks to the elastic nature." The quality is excellent and pairs well with various watches. However, some concerns include a bulky clasp and limited sizing options for wrists smaller than 6.5 inches.

Sweet!

I tried other pass-through straps and didn’t like the bulk of the extra length of strap to fold back. Nor did I like trying to remember which hole to put the pin on the clasp in. This system is of very nice quality, looks great, and I can just slip my wrist in and snap the clasp down. Can’t beat it!

Pretty decent strap! I purchased it for my Rolex 114300 Rhodium Oyster Perpetual.
Pros: does have some good stretch to it! It has great color, and it is comfortable.
Cons: Expensive. Be careful stretching it, I had a thread pop loose on the insert holes reinforcement area. I stitched it back by hand but was still annoying to have the thread pop open.
Overall it’s a neat strap, the clasp works well and holds tight. Unfortunately I ran into the issue of it either being too tight or too loose with the provided adjustment holes though.

Love my strap! Company provides great service!

This strap has quickly become my go to strap whenever I change bracelets/straps on any of my watches. It looks good with pretty much anything! Wish it came in a slightly smaller length for people with smaller wrists but if you have at least a 6.5 inch wrist you should be good

I absolutely love these straps from anchor! Great fit even better look

The concept of this nato, is ingenious! It is the most convenient and most efficient way of wearing a single pass nato ever! And you can wear this without having to worry about dropping your watch in doing so!

Ordered one of these straps while the deployment combo was on sale. Got it in and tried it for a couple days. Less than two weeks later and my 3rd strap is in transit. Absolutely awesome straps.

This is a fantastic band. Very comfortable and I love the deployment clasp. Beautiful color. Superior quality to other bands I’ve purchased. Thank you for an excellent product and a great price.

I loved the idea of a cleaner looking nato style strap. And I also love deployment style clasps, so this strap paired with the upgraded clasp is a match made in heaven. I immediately bought another in black.

Ordered the Mon Pass Nylon strap and it arrived with a flaw that made the strap/deployment from functioning as intended. The concern was immediately addressed and resolved with alacrity. The strap is excellent and the customer support is better. Thank you!

Great quality and the color is perfect for every day wear. Originally bought strap only with intention on swapping clasp from my green to the grey. Decided to buy another clasp and that was a very easy install. Couldn’t be happier!

Really enjoying this strap that compliments my Electric Blue extremely well. I love the stitching and it's very comfortable on my wrist.

Great alternative for a NATO look without the NATO bulk. Looks great on a CWC!
