http://online.wsj.com/articles/omeg...410553031?tesla=y&mod=WSJ_article_exploremore NATO strap is 'in' again apparently. Even Omega launched their own NATO strap line........yours for only $150 nylon and $250 leather
Same. These look great - I've been thinking about a NATO for a while but never taken the plunge. Can't seem to find much info about the range that is for sale anywhere though? I like that these have the official Omega branding on them - don't get me wrong I don't mind aftermarket straps (I use them myself) but there's something nice about the detail that official parts lend to the overall look; part of the reason I use official Omega deployment clasps on my aftermarket straps
Is that a FOIS on a black NATO in the pics? Im not a fan of it on the brown leather but it looks awesome on the black nylon.
i saw these in person on the same day that the boutique had the SM300s in the store. they had a great feel. you could tell they were quality. might the try the black with thin red line for the dark side.
I saw these in August at a OMEGA store. They have a nice feel to them. But I already have a favorite strap I use, so I doubt I will buy one.
I've held them at a preview event and they are nice - similar quality to Crown and Buckle premiums etc. The standad ones have the signed buckle and Omega written on the third keeper. It will be a great option if some of the odd sizes are available such as 21mm for the DSOM and SM300. Downside is that they are literally an order of magnitude more expensive than comparable third party staps. I also prefer thinner straps since Omegas run thick - which means I would be cutting off the third keeper doubled portion and losing half the expensive signage...
Does anyone know when these are meant to be available from? as i keep on popping into my local Omega Boutique and they just keep on saying they should be in soon as I'm waiting to see them in the flesh before making a decision as to whether or not they are worth the cost. Marc
Omega has the NATO straps on the site now: http://www.omegawatches.com/accessories/fine-jewellery/selected-accessories/introduction/nato-straps The red, orange, and gray straps with stainless keepers come in two widths: 19-20 and 21-22 The black and leather straps have four widths from 19-22.
Hi all I've virtually given up on ever seeing these at my local Omega Boutique as have been waiting months for these to arrive and the same goes for the SM300 I think my local Omega Boutique must be the worst in London as SM300's seem to be everywhere but here. Marc
Love them but stupidly expensive!! I have a black omega NATO that came with my Speedmaster Pro and quality is great, but not $150 great. With that you can buy about 10 Pro Nato Straps!!
I will have to see these in the flesh. The leather option must be of a very thin design for adequate fitting/bending over the spring bars but also think a NATO style band made of leather is counterintuitive
