A NATO strap is a textile watch strap that is threaded through the watch's spring bars. Our selection includes NATO straps in different colours and common widths such as 18 mm, 20 mm and 22 mm.
Before ordering, check the lug width of your watch and make sure its construction is suitable for a NATO strap. You can also explore all watch straps and watches.
NATO strap width
Choose the strap width according to the distance between the watch lugs. Common sizes include 18, 20 and 22 mm, but the correct measurement should be confirmed from the watch itself or its technical specifications.
NATO strap construction
A NATO strap is threaded through the watch's spring bars. This construction differs from a standard two-piece watch strap and may make the watch sit slightly higher on the wrist.
NATO strap compatibility
Not every watch is equally suitable for a NATO strap. Integrated bracelets or unusual lug constructions may prevent its use.
Frequently asked questions about NATO straps
How do I choose the correct NATO strap width?
Measure the distance between the watch lugs in millimetres and choose a strap of the same width.
Does a NATO strap fit every watch?
No. The watch must have a lug and spring-bar construction suitable for a NATO strap. Check compatibility before ordering.
Can I change a NATO strap myself?
On many watches, you can change the strap yourself if the watch has suitable spring bars and you have the necessary tools. If the construction is unclear, using a watchmaker reduces the risk of damage.
