No time to die seamaster: is the OEM nato worth it?
As the title says I have the nttd and love it. It's not my only watch nor my daily so despite the mesh isnt the perfect fit it's still comfortable enough.
Just wanted to get some experience on nttd if you're happy with the nato? Do you have both? If so which one do you wear more? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The NATO is great and gives you a whole different look.

I agree with the mesh bracelet not being perfect. It looks great and feels okay, but it could be better. Im considering swapping out to a nato strap for a bit just to add some variety. There are many options that are a lot less expensive and that look just as good as the omega strap.

Is the OEM NATO strap worth it's cost? No, I don't think so. Could you get more NATOs of similar quality for cheaper for more variety? Yes. That's what I'd do unless you're gung-ho on having a "full set" with all the options in the event you resell.

Both the mesh and NATO can be found at a fraction of the cost on Ali.

Omega natos are really nice. Is it worth the price? Probably not. I wanted the full kit and ended up buying it anyways.
That being said, the watch feels way nicer on the bracelet than the nato. |

Is the Nato strap from Omega worth it?
If this is the strap you are talking about, it is $350 USD!?!?! Wow, all I can say is that is crazy. Really, I think it is cool looking but that is way over the top. For that money you can buy an original Omega deployment buckle and buy 20mm nylon strapping and make you own and have a deployment model.

The Omega Natos are top notch. Very impressive. They are expensive at $180 but the best natos out there. I’m assuming the NTTD Omega NATO is pricer as it has the nice buckle.
As an alternative, check out Artem NTTD nato. Artem straps are awesome and they have a NTTD version. At $63 it’s a no brainer. https://artemstraps.com/products/nttd-nylon-watch-strap |

I got my NTTD with both options but the NATO attached to the watch. Since I changed to the mesh I don’t see me ever going back to the NATO, it looks nice but I love the mesh

So far, I'm enjoying the comfort and it's a neat look. But I miss the heft of the watch when wearing it, and I'm also not a fan of my Speedmaster now looking like the Swatch versions :/ |

Thanks, I might just be curious and hence start wondering I guess this is the insights I'm looking for! Thanks everyone for the feedback! I might go try on the nato version once more to see how I feel. But I agree with most that it's gonna be a waste for a experimental experience and if I'm not gonna love it. However for my fxd with the extremely easy change and super cheap nato I enjoy trying things out a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Visually, the Titan Mesh looks fantastic. I would buy a matching original Omega Nato strap. Looks excellent too.
An original Omega folding clasp alone costs €300, plus a matching textile or rubber strap and the total cost can quickly reach at least €600. |
