NATO watch strap
NATO watch straps are now an integral part of the watch world. Originally developed for military use, they now impress with their high functionality, modern design, and ease of use. Thanks to the continuous nylon strap, the watch sits securely on the wrist – even during strenuous exercise or sporting activity.
Our NATO straps are made of durable nylon. They're skin-friendly, easy to clean, and ideal for everyday wear, sports, or even swimming. Their sophisticated design reduces direct skin contact with the watch case—a plus for those sensitive to metal.
Colors, materials and finishes
Our NATO straps are available in many variations:
-
Premium NATO straps made of ribbed nylon
Color selection: Blue, grey, black, beige, green, orange, pink – from subtle to striking.
Bandwidths: 18 mm, 20 mm and 22 mm – suitable for almost all common watch models.
All 18 mm variants are available with our Bauhaus clock compatible.
The clasps and rings are made of brushed or polished stainless steel and ensure a high-quality look – especially with dark or muted colors. The edges of the bands are laser-sealedto reliably prevent fraying.
Origin and special features
The NATO band dates back to the 1970s and was introduced by the British Ministry of Defence as a standard for soldiers. The name "NATO band" is derived from the official military code—not from the organization itself.
The advantages include:
-
No contact between watch and skin when correctly installed
-
Very safe carrying system thanks to the pull-through principle
-
Resistant to water, sweat and dust
-
No reflections like with steel bands – ideal for tactical use
