    The orange stripe one is certainly the better of the two IMO. Not keen on the blue one, a bit too much for my taste.

    Orange stripe looks great. Blue stripes clash a bit too much. Both great blues alone, but together it’s a little much. Love the watch. Hoping to pick one up early next year

    Enjoy wearing both (not at the same time). That is the fun of Nato's. They will end up self selecting. My vote is the orange.

    Honestly I don't much like nato straps. Gorgeous watch, though.

    Nice squale, not a huge nato fan. The first is definitely the better of the two but not really feeling either.

    The Squale and SKX both look great on NATO.

    The SKX esp since it's very short with an almost square design, the short lug to lug height makes it much less bulky on these straps. The Squale is similar.


    That being said the blue stripes will make your but look fat ;p

    I rock my Squale on mesh or black rubber with orange stiching deployant.

    Both work, the orange accented works very well

    Of the two I think the orange is better. However neither really hits it out of the park IMO as blue strap to blue watch is VERY tough to match since you have to get the hue spot on. The dial and bezel of your very nice Squale are both more in the marine/aqua blue family while both straps lean more to the purple shade.

    If you really like the orange accent a darker grey or black and orange strap might actually work better than the one pictured since there's no clashing of blue hues.

    Gorgeous watch, but I'm not a fan of NATO straps.
