路No. Try a Toxic Nato strap. Great quality at a fraction of the price. You will be glad you didn鈥檛 pay OEM prices when you are sweating it up and using it for the kind of stuff Nato straps are meant for.

路I cheaped out and got a $12 strap from crown and buckle. The Omega is nicer, but not 13 times nicer.

路I used to get pretty nice nato straps from maratac. I haven鈥檛 bought any in a while, which may be testament to their durability. They still look great.

路I have been through all the cheap Nato鈥檚, finally settled on Blueshark- I have a couple in every line they make: some super comfy and pliable, some way too thick and stiff.
Haven鈥檛 tried the Omega strap but just can鈥檛 get my mind around the price for a nylon strap- but have no problem spending that on leather or a 2-3x for bracelet which serves the same purpose so it鈥檚 just a matter of personal perspective.

路Well I ended up getting an Omega nato from another member here for 2/3 the list price. I have to say, yes, it鈥檚 well worth that price. The seatbelt material, edge finishing, and hardware are all a step up from standard natos. I haven鈥檛 been able to switch back to my metal bracelet since getting it - even though my wife keeps insisting the metal bracelet looks better.

路I love the look but I just prefer the ease of bracelets and folding clasps

路Totally worth the money. Outstanding quality. I have 3 NATO鈥檚 from Omega, ask for 15% discount in store when buying or get one ordered to a store in an airport when flying anywhere and get 20% off. They need 3 weeks notice to get it in.
Nothing comes close especially after 12 months wear when others are showing there age.

路I have never tried one.
But i don't see what a $160 nato strap can offer more than a $20 one. Except an omega logo.

路Try one. They are superior to any other NATO out there.
Your call whether it's "worth it " although I find that discussion weird when we're talking about immensely overpriced men's trinkets.
