Designer Piet Hein Eek's starting point for the Tube Watch was a tube and an extrusion ring. Extrusion moulding is a technique involving forcing aluminium, or paste, through a mould, and the extrusion profile gives the material its shape. Piet devised a ring like this for the design of the watch face.
The precisely cut ring and the high quality 316L stainless steel case, combined with a textile strap, makes this design raw and industrial. The textile straps are made with Cordura, which is a brand name for a specialised thick nylon fabric. It is known for its durability and resistance to abrasions, tears and scuffs. Therefore, you might recognise this fabric from luggage, backpacks of even military clothing.
