    So, after nearly 3 years on a bracelet, I have swapped my Omega Seamaster Diver 300M over to black/grey NATO strap last weekend.

    Pretty pleased with it, and becoming a big fan of NATO straps.

    Just put mine on the Omega NATO straps this past Saturday as well. Had been using the HNS two piece Bond Zulu. The one thing about the Omega straps is they are too long, so I modified mine into RAF straps by removing the bottom keeper just past the stitching and melting the edge so it doesn't fray.

    I'm a huge fan of especially the black/grey Spectre straps and use them for my Certina beater. But overall NATO straps fits really nicely with the Seamaster!

    The red/black NATO looks incredible next to the red writing and seconds hand on the dial.

    Yes,
    It really highlights the red text and second hand tip.
    Think I will be buying a red/black soon :)

    Looks great on the blue SMPc too (IMHO) ...

    Love the black/red! The red really picks up the writing on the dial and at the tip of the second hand. A truly superior look!

    Thanks! It's really amazing, I took both photos within minutes of each other in the same place/light...what a difference.

    Nato bond is perfect, but also the black/red strap of 67Vip is really cool for 300M.
    the recall with the red "seamaster" is fine

    I LOVE that black and grey. I too cut the extra keeper piece off. Not bulky anymore and ULTRA comfortable! IMG_0514.JPG

    Not a fan of nato, but I just admit, they look very cool

    Looks lovely.

    Is there any real noticeable difference between an omega nato strap and a cheap one ?

    Yes, the material is totally different...much thicker and softer than the average NATO. Plus the price is absurd...but you have to decide for yourself on that.

    I would like to get the Commander NATO strap for my blue SMPc. I think that would look great. But I will have to find a good deal on it - can't imagine paying MSRP for the Omega straps.

    I paid $175 for both of my NATOs... hopefully when the Commander is available in December it'll be the same price.

    Not out of line when you consider the price of the watch and, more importantly, it makes you happy!

    I do like them, just wish the price was more reasonable. I'll buy the Commander NATO in December too, but I'll probably hate myself for it. Go big or go home I guess.
