What exactly is a NATO strap? We get that question a lot from customers because it is an odd reference.
Essentially, a NATO strap is a military-style single strap that can be
slipped through the watch lugs (the portion of the watch case that
enables the strap to be attached at either side) and looped under the
caseback.
Generally watch straps have two sides that close at the buckle.
The NATO strap is a single piece of nylon, canvas or leather (sometimes
other materials, as well) that is rugged and can be removed from the
watchcase easily, and be cleaned or replaced. These straps close via traditional hole-and-pin style buckles, so there is no worry about deployment clasp breakage.
In the military field, nylon straps are used because they are
inexpensive and durable, and served a purpose — you don't need to worry
about one side or the other breaking.
These one-piece military straps were first used in both America and
Britain during World War II, when they were standard issue for a
wristwatch.
(The British Royal Air Force even referred to the straps as RAF
straps.) Today, NATO straps are generally boldly colored, and often have
stripes with a military-inspired motif. Camo-colored straps are also popular for NATO straps. Sometimes these looks are even offered as two-piece straps, but those are not the true NATO style.
While some people may think NATO straps come up short style-wise,
others think they offer the perfect vintage and sporty appeal. It is all in the eye of the beholder, but keep in a mind, a new strap can transform your watch.
