I've looked on the Jean Rousseau website as well as a general google but can't find mention of these natos? Where did you find them?

You have to order them direct from Jean Rousseau, they are the OEM manufacturer of the Omega natos seen here:

They offer them for sale directly without the "Omega" branding and model numbers. The straps currently aren't on available for purchase or review on any website, but they are the exact same as the Omega ones above since they manufacture them. I've visited their NYC studio a few times and ordered a couple custom straps - amazing quality.

I usually don't like Perlon straps but the blue one really matches the electric blue SMP due to the light color. Nice compromise between the silver bezel and saturated dial.

I'm not so sure about that combo - the electric blue tends to look a bit weird with black natos, and the "Grey Border" nato is an acquired taste that tends to a tough match aesthetically.
Note: none of these pics are mine, just found on web.....

Maybe on a blue isofrane:

Of on a blue Omega rubber (on SMP chrono, but close)

Or somehow retrofitted onto a PO rubber (on a SMPc here):

On the non-curved ended Omega deployment strap (on SMP Blue)

It looks FANTASTIC on mesh, but you said straps, not bracelets:

Possibly the new blue cordura Omega deployant (nee deployment) strap (on a SM300 Master Coax)

And it could look fantastic on one of the Jean Rousseau coated nylon or leather natos - they are the OEM manufacturer of the Omega coated nylon and leather natos

But yes, the bright blue dial and polished bezel is a bit tougher to match a strap with. Let us know how you decide and post pics!
is that blue cordura strap for sale anywhere? I haven't been able to find it on Ofrei which is my usual go-to for all things Omega

As I stated in the post DIRECTLY ABOVE yours the blue is NOT and Omega sold strap, and Ofrei would not have it in stock. It is made and sold by the OEM manufacturer. Same exact fit and finish, just without the Omega tang buckle and leather imprinting.

hey sorry about that. I quoted your post on the first page and didn't notice the second post you wrote answering my question.

No worries, the ALL CAPS were more for emphasis as opposed to anger so you wouldn't miss the manufacturer again.
And again they have other colors, including the black, brown, two blues and an orange as well in the coated nylon. Give them a call and I believe they can even supply material samples.

I saw blue cordura buckle strap at the boutique today on a Seamaster chrono
It looked great!

was doing some googling on coated natos and came across this old thread. Does anyone know what other colors Jean Rousseau offers their coated natos in? What pricing is like? Doesnt seem like anyone else makes such a nato other than a branded omega or JR
