It appears that IW Suisse (yes, I know some of you hate them) are producing black NATO straps with colored stripes down the side, similar to the Omega. I bought one so I could see if I l ike the color combination on my vintage Seamaster 300 before I search for the real thing.

let us know how the quality is once it arrives!!!

 

Trying a new strap today, I got a 2 piece NATO from Da Luca. Love the 2 piece because it is a slider profile than a normal NATO but I am not sold on the Da Luca Quality, it feels two thin and flimsy compared to other NATO's and actually came in with a slight mold scent (a good soapy bath took care of that. still. I'll keep it around until I find good quality options.

 

I received the IW Suisse strap today. Compared to a Maratac strap, it is thicker and softer. Polished hardware. Got it wet with hot water and put it on and it will mold itself to how I wear it.

Overall, good quality for the price, and in some respects nicer than the Omega strap, which at least in pictures looks over-engineered.

Here's a wrist shot.
