NATO strap recommendations

I'm looking for heavy duty 5-ring NATO straps for my Speedy. Any recommendations?

Clockwork Synergy, strapcode, and worn & wound all have good options.

Not really 5-ring, but I recently got a Phenomenato and the quality is amazing and worth the extra money. Only downside is it takes a little while for the order to arrive from Hungary, but if you aren't in a rush check them out.

Try zulu straps in stead of NATO, zulu are usually thicker

Try https://natostrapco.com/ I've bought a few from them. The list thickness on every strap.

PhenomeNato is a great strap, but you're going to wait a month to get it if you're in the USA.

I just ordered three from: https://www.watchgecko.com
They haven't arrived yet, but certainly looked better than those that I have now.

Omega OEM, pricey but worth every penny.

Maratac zulu. Longest lasting straps I've owned. When you say 5 ring, I associate that with zulu, not nato (4 keepers, not really rings).

I just picked up a strap from DaLuca. The strap is super heavy duty and so is the metal.

17mm Nato Strap

Hi,
There are hard to find 17mm Nato straps on this UK website in grey and black that are also a proper long length at 285mm

Follow up to my 30 March post re Watchgecko straps. They arrived and, underpromise, overdeliver would be my summary. Great communication and attitude, also.
