Black, Gold, and Brushed NATO Watch Strap
The PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating provides a durable, long-lasting, and elegant finish, available in black or gold. It is a technical process designed to give the steel a different color.
Yes, the material used for the fabric strap—namely, nylon—remains the same. Only the color of the steel is different, but the product’s durability remains exactly the same.
Absolutely, this can create an interesting contrast and add a touch of originality. The gold can also serve as a subtle reference to the hour markers on your watch, which are sometimes gold even if the case is made of steel.
The black PVD buckles and loops have a matte finish, which gives the watch a sporty yet modern look.
Yes, of course—the military spirit is at the very heart of the NATO strap. In fact, it was created by the British Army to be used with military watches. Not only is it much more durable than a leather strap—especially when exposed to water—but it’s also less conspicuous than a metal bracelet, which could reflect the sun’s rays: it thus became soldiers’ best ally.
Like any finish, slight wear may appear over time, but the PVD coating remains highly durable.
Yes, your nylon NATO strap can be hand-washed in lukewarm water with mild soap. For a more thorough cleaning, you can also wash it in the washing machine; we recommend placing the NATO strap inside a jeans pocket to prevent it from bleeding onto the rest of your clothes.
No, the buckles on our NATO straps are fixed and cannot be removed or replaced. They are made in one piece—a steel bar that ensures optimal durability—but the absence of a buckle makes replacement impossible.
That’s right; our NATO straps are available online in the following widths: 18, 20, and 22 mm. Additional widths—16, 19, 21, 24, and 26 mm—are available at our boutique located at 25 Rue du Dragon, 75006 Paris.
Yes, the gold buckles and loops on our NATO straps will subtly echo the color of your watch’s case—whether it’s yellow gold, gold-plated steel, or the color of the hour markers on your watch’s dial.
