I've worn NATO straps for years, and have never used a curved spring bar for them...
Thanks Archer, is it true though that Omega supplies a curved spring bar if a watch is sold with a NATO strap? I don't remember where I was reading about curved spring bars now. I'm not sure what the advantage would be with those. Logically, I would think a curved spring bar would pull out more easily.

Yes, I've read that they do supply curved bars for NATO straps. Again, I've never had an issue using straight bars, so to me there's not really any compelling reason to use a curved bar.
I agree but i can also see it from Omega's perspective because the latest OEM NATO i bought is a combo of leather and nylon and it was very hard for me to cross it between the case and the straight spring bar. But still i managed.
Wonder if its cost saving reasons or something else. Gold Rolex watches have gold spring bars.
