Hi TRF,

Looking for a recommendation. I’ve owned by Tudor BB58 on bracelet for ~1 year now. While I love the bracelet, I’m itching to put it on something else. Also not keen on paying ~300 for the OEM watch-appropriate nato.

I have pretty small wrists so was hoping to get a recommendation for a good (1) short (2) single-pass nato.

Thanks in advance.

In my opinion The Best Nato Bands are OEM Omega. Check out their website, there are a lot of options.

Good luck

Have had great experiences with several Phenomenato straps. Soft and comfy; around 90% of the quality of an OEM Omega NATO.

Erika’s Original Marine National. Better than a NATO strap, similar look.

For classic NATO, I like Maratac.

If in the UK great quality and service and no ripoff prices.

Thanks all, ended up going with Lunar- purchased a strap and their Tudoresque buckle. Appreciate the recommendations.

Phenomenato makes the best NATO straps in my opinion. I’ve spent $160 each on a couple Omega ones that people think are the best, but honestly—the Phenomenato ones feel almost exactly the same and have a better length. You can buy I think 5 of them for the price of one Omega since they have a promotion ongoing for 20% off 4 or more.
I’ve had some NATOs from Blue Shark, Crown and Buckle, and a couple others. Phenomenato is hands-down the best of the bunch!

Great choice
Let us know what you think I use the pertexo single pass and no bulky mess.
The shield Tudor style buckles look great too.

Crown and Buckle Supreme Nato

Will echo a couple prior posts - Crown & Buckle single pass supreme nato and Erika's MN strap work amazingly on the BB58. The Erika's ain't cheap - but it is so damn comfortable
