Description

Rugged performance, luxurious comfort.

Our utility straps are made from an ultra high tensile 'seatbelt nylon', based on the same tight knit weave pattern used in seat belts from cars to fighter jets.

Super soft, incredibly flexible, perfect under water and ridiculously strong.

We've used a 1.2mm thick fabric, far less bulky than the commonly used 1.4mm, and much quicker to dry after water immersion.

Utilising a solid one-piece buckle pin allows us to use small round holes, which are stronger than rectangular holes.

The Nomadic Utility Nylon strap not only fits any Nomadic watch, but is interchangeable with many other brands with a 20mm lug spacing and is very simple to fit.

Instantly transform the look and character of your watch to bring out it's more rugged, adventurous and military style vibes or add a splash of colour for a subtle statement piece.

Usage & Care

Compatible with any Nomadic watch and most 20mm lug watches.

Wash in warm soapy water to keep the utility strap looking it's best

Great watch!

Pictures do not do it justice! I love the deep green of the black shamrock. Although it was a tough watch to get I was lucky to get 19/33. This is my second Nomadic and definitely not my last!

Great watch!

Very glad I decided to try this piece sight unseen. The detail on the dial might be better in person than what’s captured in Nomadic’s excellent marketing pieces. It took me several weeks to get used to the size.

Great watch!

Bought and sold way too many watches over the years, but never before experienced this level of customer service. Greg and Matt were amazing hosts at the Nomadic HQ in Belfast, and spent well over an hour talking about the history of the brand and giving us a tour of their workshop. Matt explained their quality monitoring processes and even gave us a demonstration on my watch. The build quality and finish of the Marai 401 easily matches watches costing a great deal more. But best of all is that you get to wear a little bit of Belfast on your wrist, wherever life takes you,

Great watch!

Love the watch,it is really classy looking. Friends and others admire it and love the back story. I have a number of high end watches and this watch sits beautifully with them. It feels great to wear, keeps excellent time and remains luminous for over 4 hours. A great watch.

Great watch!

Acquiring my first Nomadic watch has been an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Peter was fantastic in replying to all of my questions and made everything a very easy and reassuring process. This was the first time I have purchased a high quality watch and the Turas 914 has met and even exceeded my expectations. It is beautifully crafted with classic style, and the "Built In Belfast" links it to my heart. There was a time before I knew of Nomadic that I aspired to someday own a Rolex. Now that never enters my mind. My only thought is of when I will be able to have another Nomadic in my life! The only issue when that day comes will be how to wear two watches simultaneously because the Turas never leaves my wrist!

Great watch!

This was my first "expensive" watch and I have to say it felt it from the second I put it on. It just felt right. The dial is a real stunner and gets noticed a lot and then of course you get to tell the story behind the watch. My only criticism would be that on the white dial the yellow seconds hand does not stand out very well. I liked the watch so much that I've just purchased a Marai :-)

Great watch!

It took me a while to decide to buy the Marai 401 over the other options I was considering. Tag, Vertical, Hamilton, longines to name a few. I have a Breitling which spends its time in a case and I wanted an everyday watch that was easy to wear and looked good. The story behind Nomadic and it's links to Belfast won the day. The watch looks stunning, wears great and it hasn't left my wrist since I got it. If you're considering one, don't waste anymore time mulling it over.. do it.. you won't regret it!

Will it fit my wrist size?

Nomadic watches fit most mens and ladies wrist sizes. As standard, bracelets fit wrists from 5 to 8.5" inches (14-22 cm). For larger wrist sizes you can request additional links by emailing info@nomadicwatches.com or contact us via the live chat function.

Are the bracelet / straps easy to change?

Changing between the bracelet and any other strap is quite straightforward and all tools needed are provided. If you haven’t changed a watch strap before, it can be a little bit fiddly, so take your time. Our team, or any local jeweller will be able to help with this if you get stuck. This video from watch expert Adrian Barker is an excellent guide - Changing Watch Straps

The steel bracelet can be easily adjusted by adding or removing links. Links are screwed in with a bolt which can be easily removed with the tools provided. Follow along with our video guides here our team or any local jeweller will be able to help with this if you get stuck.

If you measure your wrist size and let us know, we can size it in advance for you before shipping. This does not impact your warranty or guarantee however this would void the 30-day returns policy due to the watch being customised for your size.

How do you adjust the bracelet size?

Watch our video guides here.

We provide the necessary tools to adjust the bracelet at home. Our bracelets utilise screw in links which can be easily removed using the small screw driver provided. The use of Loctite thread lock fluid (provided) is highly recommended to ensure screws remain secure over long term use.

The screws are small and can be fiddly so taking the watch to a local jeweller for sizing can be helpful. This can usually be done within a few minutes for a very small fee.

Specifications

What is an automatic watch?

Automatic movements use energy from the motion of your wrist. Every time the watch moves, a weighted rotor attached to the back of the movement spins, automatically winding the mainspring which drives the internal gears. Since the mainspring exerts a variance in driving force depending on how tightly wound it is, the accuracy of an automatic watch fluctuates depending on usage. The Maraí 401 is powered by the Sellita SW200-1 movement which is accurate to +/- 11 seconds per day. Automatic movements do not use batteries so you will never need to replace a battery.

What movement/mechanism do you use?

Our Maraí 401 dive watch is powered by the Sellita SW200-1. This is a fully automatic self winding mechanism made in Switzerland. We use the standard grade which is accurate to +/-11sec per day.

About Nomadic

What is Nomadic?

Nomadic is a watch company from Belfast that specialises in attainable, modern tool watches with attention to detail and rugged durability. Inspired by Belfast’s shipbuilding history, bold endeavours, and a longing for adventure, Nomadic sits at the confluence of heritage and modern purpose-led lifestyles. The company is named after the SS Nomadic, the last remaining White Star Line ship in the world, and the nomadic pursuit of new horizons.

Why do Nomadic watches have a yellow seconds hand?

All Nomadic watches have a yellow seconds hand which has been an integral part of the design of Nomadic timepieces from the beginning. This is a nod to Belfast and the two great icons of the skyline, Samson and Goliath, the twin shipbuilding gantry cranes of Harland and Wolff.

Where are your watches made?

We have just invested in a state-of-the-art watch assembly and testing facility in Belfast, which is due to be fully operational by Q3 2023.

The modern watch industry is complex, with many interwoven connections and suppliers. Nomadic uses Swiss-made movements, supplied by Sellita.

We have blended the best of Swiss movement technology with the design inspiration and spirit of Belfast’s iconic past. 

Our long-term ambition is to make all of our watches and components, except the Swiss movement, here in Belfast. At the moment, our cases and other components are produced by a trusted supplier in Asia that operates from a world-class clean room facility, which far exceeds the process capabilities of anything available locally. This supplier also provides watches and components for many well-known European watch brands.

What Guarantee do you offer?

Every Nomadic watch is subjected to a rigorous set of tests to ensure its precision and reliability. Our rock solid confidence in the quality of our craftsmanship and attention to detail, allows us to offer a 2 year guarantee on all our watches.

All Nomadic watches are covered by a limited 24-month warranty. Accessories are covered by a limited 12-month warranty.

Warranty terms do not extend to damage arising from improper use, normal wear and tear, improper maintenance, alteration, misuse, negligence, or otherwise not arising from defects of material or workmanship.

How often does the watch need servicing?

Your Nomadic watch requires servicing every 3-5 years. We recommend servicing be carried out by an authorised Nomadic service centre. 

This can be arranged by contacting us at info@nomadicwatches.com.
