I said I wouldn't do this because I typically don't like the look of a NATO strap with it's many rings and long length that has to be folded and tucked all over the place. But I found one that works.
It's the Maratac Mil Series and, as you can see from the pics, I think it works quite well. Although the watch has a black bezel the brown strap picks up the color of the minute pips and the gold color surrounding the indices and the hands. To top it off...no rings. What do you guys think?

Looks good. I also prefer those Maratacs to NATOs, and I own a lot of them, but I've moved on to Eulit Perlon, because it dries very fast. The Maratacs stay wet for quite a while.

Looks great

I'm easy, that's my grail. My other want would be a Speedmaster Moon watch.

I realized I'm not a big fan of nato straps for the same reasons you mentioned. But, that looks good. Well done.

i like it!

Thanks guys. I think the color is just perfect for the watch and it has a nice slim profile. That does the trick for me.

Looks good Angelo!!

These BB are great to experiment with different strap combos. I have a fire engine red leather nato on my BB blue today and like the look.

Very nice Angelo.

Love it. There is something about a diver on s strap like that, it just calls to me.

Looks great. I wear the BB Black on the same Maratac strap, except mine's a regular NATO, and I love how the strap brings out the warmth of the dial.

You're exactly right. The strap color is simply perfect.
