Just love it. Not as big as everyone said. Very comfortable in the bracelet but I’m a nato kind of guy. Love this colour combo.

I was so expecting after everything a read that this was going to be some ridiculous monster of a watch. I had a 5 digit sea dweller and this is more comfortable to wear. The steel bracelet is so comfortable. Totally different look on the nato. Very colour specific. Despite technically being black the face looks almost navy blue and the bezel grey. Brilliant watch.

Is that a blue nato? It does not look bad but black would look better.

45.5 8500 on NATO... I’d call it a bold choice... but that’s a TALL choice 😉

I’m 7.5 with a 3313 45.5 which is thinner and I can’t pull off the added thickness of a NATO on it.

Looks good😀

Looks lovely! Does it wear fairly large? What size is your wrist?

Well I have adapted all my NATO’s. I have removed the extra loop and made them just single layer. I am not a big guy particularly and a fairly slim wrist. Even on the bracelet it doesn’t sit that high or feel massive.

I agree, I do wear the Omega NATO on the 8500, and it is a tall order, but comfortable. The cheaper thinner NATOs although don't feel as nice as the OEM, are a slimmer fit. Have you tried thinner versions, or the ones without any hardware, just a one piece?

Looks great! I've been wearing my nato a lot lately. If anyone has suggestions on where to buy extra strap/bracelet options for the PO please let me know. I'm not seeing a ton on this website.

The next best thing is the rubber for the PO, if you've got bracelet and NATO

I've got the nato, rubber strap with tang buckle and the rubber with white stitching(deployment clasp). I did buy the rubber strap with the black stitching but it was for the newer model PO's. If anyone has ideas on where I can sell this and maybe pick up a bracelet please let me know.

Totally agree with you on the sizing. It’s a 45.5mm but visually it doesn’t seem as big. Visually looks like my 42mm Calibre de Cartier but the lug to lug on the PO is big.
