Bleu-blanc-rouge… 😎

Owned a 3rd party version before Omega made NATO's.
It's a great color combo.

Just received delivery of an Omega NATO. Not direct through Omega but Earnest Jones, so a reputable dealer.

I have seen videos online where they come in a red presentation box with the tool, but mine came loose.

Is this box etc only available direct through Omega?

Interesting, there might be a difference between your location. .... All straps I bought through the OMEGA EU website got in a red travel box.
Also ordered a beige (nice with Trilogy's ) military green and grey.

IMO There really is a difference between the multi coloured (polyamide) and single color ones (polyester)

I guess this travel box is only for online orders. I bought mine from an OB and I just got the strap.
For online orders in the US they even add the strap changing tool for free in EU you need to pay extra 10 euros if you want it..... 🙁

I got mine from an OB and got the travel case, spare spring bars and was offered a strap tool which I declined as I have about 1000!

I like the NATOS even more when they are not from Omega 😗

Do you have any pictures of the other Snoopy watch on Nato perchance? On another note, let me know if you ever plan to sell your white dial Snoopy... ::stirthepot::

On online ordering NATO straps from The Netherlands at OMEGA Swiss.

I ordered a strap on July 21 and July 24. Only 2 order numbers are between so they are not selling a lot.

The web store experience is frankly speak quite bad. I have an OMEGA account but this seems not linked to my purchases.

E-mail to either [email protected] or [email protected] remain unanswered 😡

Hi

Every time I order a strap I get the red box, tool, and bars as well. I am based in UK but order online.

A selection of NATOs from me.

Why is the bottom keeper so close to the watch? Shouldn't the distance of the top and bottom keeper be equal? In other words shouldnt the watch be in the middle?

When you actually place the strap on your wrist, it pulls the bottom keeper down so that the watch does sit centered.

If you center the watch before putting it on your wrist you'll notice that the watch rides too close to the top keeper.

Good to know. I wasn't lucky though. Just got the strap. But they gave me 20 Euro discount so can't complain

Indeed but that is how Omega instructs us to wear the NATO on the youtube video.
