That one keeper next to the buckle says it all.
Fake. That one keeper next to the buckle says it all. The buckle might be real.
That said, even Omega's "NATO" is a fake "NATO". Doesn't follow the G10 standard.
I wish you’d explain more why that keeper near the buckle is an obvious tell
I wish you’d explain more why that keeper near the buckle is an obvious tell, because I don’t see it. I have 4 genuine Omega NATO straps, and this one looks real to me. I know people are arguing it’s fake because the red lines are not absolutely straight, but that is impossible on a woven strap.
I believe that Omega engraved (laser) OMEGA on every keeper.
just look at how rough the corners are on the keeper. Omega has way more attention to detail to let something like that out the door.
that is 100% wrong. OMEGA is only engraved on the one keeper for the part that goes under the watch (just like on the OPs). The keepers that keep the end of the strap in check are NOT engraved in any way.
Waves and hardware a side - omega natos do have something like parts number, or model number let's say. I have a 'commanders watch' strap (straight lines) and its number is CWZ006531. The strap in OP has a number ZSZ002028, just googled ZSZ002028 and looks like it is the number of a black-grey bond strap.
I sent pics of the strap to omega in London and the serial number on the buckle is for a 22mm buckle and the nato commander is a 20mm buckle. My friend has a real one and when we compared them they are as far apart as an old skoda and a new Bentley. Everything about the strap is wrong from the colour to the finish. Even omega sent me an email saying its not of their design. The guy I bought it off on ebay is still saying its genuine and says it came on an omega speedmaster schumacher. Obviously it didn't come on a speedmaster schumacher lol. Its my own fault for buying it on ebay but ordered a real omega leather nato as cant buy commander natos anymore.
