Hello all,

After wearing my Omega brand nato strap (bond) I wanted to go back to my old favorite for a few days. This is a $10 nato (See Photos). I actually picked this up on amazon it's 20mm and made by... wait for it... Marathon! I've never tried on a Marathon watch before but I wanted a thin and classic looking nato.

The nato fits perfectly with little to no extra room. My wrist is 7". I'm really happy with this strap and the fit. It can be worn formally because there is no flashy nato strap grabbers. It's just pure black.

 

How does it fasten?

 

does this technically count as a 'zulu' strap? I thought the Nato has the extra keeper strap that passed under the watch and spring bars.
Either way looks good! Still have a soft spot for this watch despite just picking up a watchco seamster 300. Could see myself ending up with it at some point.

 

that is such a nice watch .......on a $10 strap ......

 

Technically it is not a Zulu or a NATO it is a 1 piece nylon strap with nylon keeper.

 

I LOVE that watch.
Most likely my next and last one.

 

It does help that you have a super mega awesome attached to the strap.

 

Well done. What is the overall length? I've tried a few different brands in the past that were too short to go over wetsuits. So far my favorite is a genuine Omega expensive jobby, second is one by Maratac but it is only 20mm wide and looks terrible on the 21mm lugs.

 

There are 2 lengths of NATO. The longer ones very easily go over even cold water suits.
