Space Shuttle Strap
A new era of space travel
On 12th April 1981, Space Shuttle Columbia (OV-102) became the first reusable vehicle to successfully leave the Earth's atmosphere, going on to transport hundreds of astronauts and thousands of tonnes of material into space over the following decades.

Mission STS-52
Columbia embarked on mission STS-52 in October 1992, launching NASA's LAGEOS-2 satellite into orbit and conducting a plethora of cutting-edge experiments inside its cargo bay. During the shuttle's 10-day flight, it travelled well over four million miles and circled the Earth a total of 159 times.
From space to strap
Following the successful touchdown of mission STS-52, Columbia's nose landing gear tyre was removed and decommissioned as part of routine maintenance. Built to survive atmospheric reentry and extreme landing forces, this remarkable feat of engineering is now preserved within your limited-edition Diatom strap.
Verified provenance
Every Columbia Shuttle Tyre Strap is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity documenting its origin in Space Shuttle Columbia's nose landing gear tyre and its journey aboard mission STS-52 — giving each owner complete peace of mind about the cosmic connection on their wrist.
A flight proven material
From the matte-black compound and characteristic surface textures to its raised longitudinal ribs and recessed identification marks, the Columbia Shuttle Tyre Strap preserves the original artefact's design language and offers wearers a truly unique piece of storytelling that continues the legacy of Space Shuttle Columbia.
Built around history
Every strap is hand-finished in our workshop and engineered to pair seamlessly with the Diatom case. The flight-recovered rubber is stabilised, sectioned and shaped to a precise tolerance, ensuring durability on the wrist without compromising the texture and patina that make the source material so unmistakable.
