Mil-Nato Bands by Maratac®

Great quality nylon, nice hardware. Excellent nato strap!

The quality of the Mil-NATO Straps are of good quality within themselves, but this new iteration has stonewashed hardware and was not the look I was after (nor what is currently displayed on the product image). The lug2lug spacing is also limited, and is a tight fit for larger 46mm diameter watches - such as the Marathon JSAR/CSAR. These would suit smaller Military Field watches better. After chatting with the Customer Service, I came to the realisation, that all my Divers are better off on the Maratac Zulu Straps - of which, are better quality than the Mil-NATO’s (in my opinion), and stronger. The stitching on the Mil-NATO’s don’t seem quite as good - with some loose threads on the two that I bought. Although a minor thing, I also do not like how these NATO’s have tiny ‘ZULU’ branding on the main buckle - there is clear difference between G-10 NATO’s and Zulu’s! So anyway, I went and purchased more Zulu’s to cover all my timepieces, for differing scenarios and very happy with those.

Good quality, comfortable

These are my favorite nato straps. Other nato straps I tried are either way too stiff and fray in a couple weeks. Not as stiff compared to other straps I tried but they are dang tough. I have worn one for about a year straight and after a wash they look brand new. I am looking forward for a restock in Black and OD green. I will be purchasing 1 of each if a restock does happen anytime soon. I currently own a brown and od green in 22mm. Only thing I have a issue with, probably normal, but I wish the holes would be reinforced, after being worn for a year, the hole that I usually set at became elongated and starting to fray but I am pretty sure thats normal.
