I wish their NATO conformed to the military spec as far as where the metal loops are placed. But I am sure I'm part of a small minority.

 

I prefer the slack under the wrist not at the side of my wrist.

 

Too bad the line in the black one is yellow and not orange. But then it would have been the Ultraman NATO... Smart....

 

My wrist wishes these were available in 18mm. My wallet is glad they’re not.

 

They need to make colorful rubber straps. NATOs absorb sweat and become stinky in the Summer heat

 

While I have only done it with Maratac NATO-style straps, washing with Oxyclean seems to freshen them quite well.

 

Color is good

 

This. A thousand times this.

 

I agree too

 

I’ve not had this issue with Omega nato’s here in Australia’s summer heat, leather certainly is a problem so I change to nato’s for summer.

 

Soap and cold water solves the smell.

 

Wash them when they stink!

 

They do one in 18mm. It’s beige with brown edges though. Wish they’d do a few more in more appealing colours.

I wear NATOs all day in the heavy summer in Cyprus and my NATO's never stink.

 

+1 for the non-stinky NATO crew!

I do find that they tend to stiffen a but with summer wear. Generally soak and rinse with an oxy-based washing powder at season's end. I really like the three in the OP's second pic. Very spiffy.

 

I have a solid black and a Bond Omega, both superb. Have had my eye on the military green but cant condone another £130, and cant find anything non Omega that comes close to the colour and quality.

I think shade would be a great summer nato.

 

I'm looking for the same thing. I have a few Omega NATO straps but I'm having a hard time paying that much for a solid color strap.
