A very nice but probably rare Nato Strap. Where can I get it? I need the width 22mm.

At the end of August I'm doing a one-week hike on the Hardangervidda, I thought this would be just the right strap for my wrist watch for my first holiday in Norway.

Many greetings from Germany - "Stadt Schwentinental"

I like the YM on nylon NATO - it does have very strong maritime heritage, after all...

Watchflair · 30 May 2013, 06:39 AM

Some nice NATO combos! I'm a fan. I have a few NATOs for my Exp II and love the change up. It's a quick and inexpensive way to add a diferent look to your watch.

Ector495 · 26 July 2014, 03:39 AM

I'm starting to consider one for mine now. Can't get a new watch at the moment so I can do this to change it up a bit. Thanks to all of the enablers.

Furbo · 26 July 2014, 04:30 AM

I don't like YM on natos... original SS bracelet is the best.

agree

I tried mine on a few nato straps but never fell in love with it. I have seen a few great examples on this thread!!

I bring it up because I have located a yachtmaster watch, head only as the bracelet was damaged. It's 2 tone with a slate dial and I was wondering how it might look with a brown or tan leather NATO.

Thoughts?

Tan or blue leather as its a TT

dr35mm · 30 November 2016, 02:28 AM

I gave it a try a while ago, wasn't conviced. In my opinion, nothing beats the SS bracelet.

Although, I'm still curious about a rubber like an everest.

Perlon straps look good btw on the YM.

Seeing these on straps reminds me of the old white gold bezeled thunderbirds.

osamu · 30 November 2016, 04:33 AM

I feel like the TT yacht master with the slate dial would look the best on croc or maybe a grey perlon strap.

HogwldFLTR · 30 November 2016, 05:59 AM

IMHO Natos really don't look as good as bracelets; they do work well for the water however. I don't see a significant difference between using one on the YM or on a Sub.

This looks really nice, so far the best nato I have seen

insomniac2 · 30 November 2016, 07:37 AM

Not a nato guy myself but they do look great in the pictures.

aced75 · 30 November 2016, 01:38 PM

That's a really nice strap. May I ask where you got it?

Afghanvet · 1 January 2017, 12:15 PM

Wow! YM on Nato looks pretty good!

Porschepusher83 · 1 January 2017, 12:33 PM

I've got 6-7 NATO straps I'll throw on my YM and they look great I even bought the SEL's to put on w the leather straps and they make a huge difference with and leather strap

I like you avatar much better than any watch on a cheap NATO strap.

That looks awesome!!!! I hadn't even considered the YM until today and am really liking the flexibility due to strap choices...

VicLeChic · 18 October 2017, 08:14 AM

I can't mentally adjust to a NATO especially if it's multicoloured. I wish I could say I like it and enjoy a cool and trendy way to dress down my YM, but I find it horrid, I'm sorry. And I can't stand the messy tuck over. To me it's either Oyster bracelet or a nice leather strap.

If you like it, enjoy it and don't listen to me.

HONDABBQ · 18 October 2017, 10:58 AM

JimJones · 16 November 2017, 10:57 PM

The red date wheel conversion would really make that YM pop !
