New OMEGA NATO...

Just a little something...
Oh and please forgive my poor photography skills

How does the NATO sit with the PO? I assume it sits higher up, but is it "top heavy" or flop around at all? I know when wearing my Seiko divers on NATOs they do, and they aren't nearly as tall of watches as the PO. But I have no experience with the Omega NATO straps...

If you have both layers of the strap under the watch it's approx 3mm higher. If you remove the the extra layer and keeper it's 1.4mm higher. If the strap is the correct size for the lug width and it's worn properly the watch shouldn't flop around...not like a steel bracelet that's a little loose. I've played golf with my Seamaster on an Omega NATO with no issues at all. I currently use Crown & Buckle HD NATOs, which are even thicker...1.5 to 1.6mm, and if I'm not mistaken P.O.'s have 22mm wide lugs so there's no way a watch should be bouncing around.

They look great. Really like the SM300 on a nato. The nato in my avatar has two tan stripes that match the patina very well. That would also look great on your 300.

Can you post a few wristshots of the SMPc with that nato?

I went to the OB in the Houston Galleria last night trying to buy a blue nato strap for my Seamaster 300M. They didn’t have the blue. I have no idea what Omega is doing right now with an OB not being able to get the blue strap so I ended up with a grey for now.

Isn't that retarded? The grey/blue NATO doesn't look that great to me, but I haven't seen it in person either. I can't believe Omega hasn't made the Commander NATO available as a standard stock item...look how many blue watches they make that it would go with. I guess they aren't quite up on the add on sales concept. I have a standing order for the thing with my AD as soon as he can find one.

Had to buy both... HAD to! And since today’s my day off I’m rocking the tan.
That beige is gorgeous. Didn’t know it was available. I’m back to the boutique I guess lol

The black strap looks better to me IMHO but the tan isn't bad either. Wear what you like 😀

Looks verrrrry nice!!! Thanks for sharing!

I do not have any Omega(tm) NATO's yet, which would look good with my AQT or Speedy?

So the long and short of it is don’t be nasty. Wash your NATO’s and wipe down your watch often.

So not very often then

Sorry, couldn’t resist!

Two of those are 3x a week...the other is every third fourth of July, the odd Christmas Eve here and there, so forth & so on. Fortunately I'm at the age I don't give a damn one way or the other...and that's a huge psychological advantage.👍😀
