The strap comes in two finish options including Silver and Graphite, which have both been achieved using 316L stainless steel along with a DLC scratch resistant coating. The elegantly designed strap transforms the wearable from a technology product into a high-end timepiece that will fit in well with the user's existing style aesthetics.

The Nomad Steel Band is constructed with a slim magnetic clasp that will allow for secure opening and closing thanks to a series of neodymium magnets within. The strap comes with a custom adjustment tool to allow the user to make modifications from home.
