Omega Press Release: Nato Strap - Same Watch Different Look.

Now that you’re switching to your summer wardrobe, why not go all the way and give your timepiece a cool new look for the warmer months?


With OMEGA’s fantastic selection of “NATO” straps, giving your watch a summer makeover couldn’t be easier - or more affordable.


OMEGA’s “NATO” straps evolved from the leather and canvas straps used by British pilots, navigators and army personnel during World War Two. For safety reasons, wristwatches did not use removable spring bars to secure their straps. Their fixed bars, often soldered, were less likely to break than spring bars so there was less chance of losing the strap in conflict situations.


Take your pick!
There are three 5-stripe fabric straps with stainless steel buckles and fitted keepers; three nylon fabric straps with grey, orange or red border; a brown Novonappa leather strap; and an all-black coated nylon fabric strap with fitted black keepers and polished buckle.



If you’d like to see how your watch looks with a new “NATO” strap, our website has a virtual function that lets you mix and match with ease.You can experiment with different combinations without having to break out the strap changing tool. Why not have some fun and see what happens? You may discover a look that’s as individual as you are. If you’d rather see how your new “NATO” strap looks on the wrist, OMEGA’s boutique staff will be happy to help.



Like the originals that inspired them, OMEGA’s “NATO” straps can easily be adjusted to any length and are thus perfectly suited to every wrist (or even the outside of a uniform!).
