Why we love them?
Deployant straps have a slightly different construction compared to other watch bands. To secure a strap we do not use a tang buckle, but rather a fold-over clasp.
They come in leather, rubber, sailcloth... you name it. We often see them on high-end luxury watches, but they are also available as an aftermarket option for any other watch.
- Better weight distribution across the wrist
- Deployant clasp provides a secure fit
- Less effort to put on / take off a watch
- Straps last longer since deployant prevents creasing

By the way, many enthusiasts and strap stores label them as "deployment". We at StrapHunter do not have the slightest intention to preach about the origin of the word. Use a name that you prefer. We use "deployant".
