A Limited Collector’s Edition Watch Strap Set Honoring the 250th Anniversary of American Independence
Strictly limited to 1,776 numbered sets per model — now available for pre-order at $176, shipping June 22nd
MOSELLE, MO, June 5, 2026 — Wrist Outfitters™, a family-owned American watch strap company, today announced the launch of the 1776 Signature™ Series — a limited collector's edition watch strap set created to honor the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. Available in two distinct styles, Patriot™ and Signer™, each model is strictly limited to 1,776 individually numbered sets and is now available for pre-order at an introductory price of $176 (MSRP $250). Shipping begins June 22nd.
“In 1776, 250 years ago, fifty-six Signers risked it all to seal a nation’s birth with ink and conviction. Other Patriots put their lives on the line for liberty. The 1776 Signature™ Series honors the Signers and Patriots who had the courage to risk everything so we could enjoy enduring Freedom.”
About the Collection: Two Styles, One Historic Moment
The 1776 Signature™ Series debuts with two exclusively designed and crafted leather watch straps, each bearing a unique hand-stamped insignia and presented as a complete collector’s experience:
1776 Patriot™ — Embossed with our exclusive musket and axe “cross-arms” insignia, Patriot™ is crafted from oil-waxed Italian calfskin with bold early American stitching, evoking the strength of those who stood for independence. A bold tribute to the spirit of American resolve. “1776” engraved black PVD buckle and deployant. Available in 20mm, 21mm, and 22mm lug widths. (wristoutfitters.com/patriot)
1776 Signer™ — Embossed with “Quill & Parchment” and “Freedom” insignias, Signer™ features padded stitched calfskin lined with French Zermatt calfskin leather — a refined tribute to the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Includes: “1776” engraved brushed stainless steel buckle and polished silver deployant. Available in 18mm, 20mm, 21mm, and 22mm lug widths. (wristoutfitters.com/signer)
Both models include the highly sought-after 20mm and the harder-to-find 21mm lug width, fitting today's Rolex Submariner, Grand Seiko, and other luxury watches.
The Collector’s Experience
Each 1776 Signature™ Series set is presented in a Betsy Ross-inspired 250th anniversary commemorative collector's tin and includes a Declaration of Independence replica polishing cloth, a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity, and a 1776-engraved deployant clasp. Every strap is individually stamped with its limited edition number (e.g. 0001/1776).
Each set includes:
★ A hand-crafted, numbered leather watch strap with custom-embossed insignia and deep-engraved 1776 buckle and deployant hardware
★ A 1776-themed collector’s presentation tin, sealed with a gold-foil sleeve
★ A signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity, featuring a wax seal illustration of the band’s unique insignia
★ A Declaration of Independence replica polishing cloth
★ An official product display card
With only 1,776 numbered sets of each variant available worldwide, the 1776 Signature™ Series is designed for the collector who understands that some moments in history deserve more than a passing acknowledgment.
The 1776 Signature™ Series is our most ambitious project to date — unlike any other on the market. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed and crafted to honor the courage of the Founders of America, including our unique insignias, engravings, the 1776-theme presentation tin, and the 'Declaration of Independence' polishing cloth. As our first limited collector's edition, we're very excited to get it into the hands of our many watch enthusiasts."
— Jeff Tobler, Co-founder, Wrist Outfitters™
"The 1776 Signature™ Series captures the spirit of early America. My personal favorite is the 1776 Patriot™ — the crossed hatchet and musket insignia speaks to the everyday men and women who truly built this nation. Without their blood, sweat, and tears, America would not exist. This strap is our tribute to them: beautiful, rugged, and made from the finest materials."
— Christian Tobler, Co-founder, Wrist Outfitters™
"We are thrilled to announce the long-awaited 1776 Signature Series. This project has been the focus of many late-night planning sessions, and the result is now revealed in these two unique straps — Patriot and Signer. Each detail has been carefully thought out, including the embossing on each strap, Betsy Ross-inspired collector's tin, 1776 engraved deployant, and the 'Declaration of Independence' polishing cloth. We want everyone to have a chance to be part of this historic release and are excited to finally share it with fellow enthusiasts."
— Joanna Tobler, Co-founder, Wrist Outfitters™
