The Origin: The Military Legacy (1970s)
Design Concept: The design stands out because the leather strap is continuous and runs completely under the watch case. This prevents the metal of the case back from touching the skin and ensures the watch won't fall off if one of the pins breaks.
Steps for Assembly (Leather Path):
Initial position: Place the watch upside down with the pins installed in the handles.
First pass: Insert the long end of the strap over the 12 o'clock pin, pushing it down.
Flat step: Slide the leather completely flat under the entire back cover of the watch.
Second pass: Take the end of the leather out by passing it from below to above through the 6 o'clock pin.
Final adjustment: Center the watch case on the desired strap section and fasten it on your wrist.
Today, Zulu straps are considered a cult standard for outdoor enthusiasts, professional divers, and those with a purely military and survival aesthetic.
