Vanguard SI — Military-Style Nylon Strap
Special Issue Design. Mission-Ready Performance.
The Vanguard SI is a Special Issue release built for those who demand more from a nylon strap. Constructed from our upgraded satin-weave polyamide, it delivers a rare combination of tactical durability, low-profile comfort, and a refined aesthetic that stands apart. As the first of our new Special Issue line of straps, the Vanguard come equipped with our premium 316L tang-buckle with all new drilled spring-bar holes for added peace-of-mind during the most demanding tasks.
Unlike traditional seatbelt-style straps that can feel slick or overly glossy, the Vanguard SI features a tightly controlled satin weave—structured enough to hold its form, yet soft enough to disappear on the wrist. It’s the kind of strap you forget you’re wearing until someone asks about it.
Whether you're logging miles on trail, traveling light, or stepping into a long day at work, the SI is built to move with you. No break-in. No hotspots. No fuss.

Great quality strap with a rare and important feature: the sliding keeper which I’ve only ever encountered on Omega straps that cost 5x as much. Great work, Anchor!

This is one of the best NATO straps I've owned. It wears secure and comfortable.
I love the colorway (not just the awesome combination of black, grey, and tan, but the screen accuracy to a certain secret agent's watch during his first mission).
