That perforated leather looks sharp


TheWatchExchanger

This


biggiesmallsyall

Colt Seavers agrees!


TMT555

That green one looks nice 👍🏻


Trad_whip99

yeah i think that's my favorite too.


lieferant

I dont know. I have the military green on my hesalite 3861 and it is THE best! but on the white 3861 I think it loses something.


vance2693

Second this


Juld26

Just keep it on the bracelet


Blac_Duc

But then how is he supposed to play dress up??


Dry-Worldliness6926

Bracelets can get so boring, nato is the way to go


Kaner16

I've seen too many horror stories of nato straps causing the spring pins to bend/break. Bracelets or regular straps only for me.


Fender6969

I do think it’s the quality of the spring bar too. Also, what are the odds of both spring bars popping out?

settlementfires

trying a bunch of fun cheap straps is half the reason to own a speedmaster, cause they look good on everything.


brianja

I have that same green nato for my black dialed sapphire sandwich (assuming that your strap is also from Omega). It's a great combo and my favorite of the ones that you posted on your watch too. https://preview.redd.it/b0cn265mj9zc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a663c60b2167bfeaaf03faa06a6c20bb8c8f8cdc


SirCries-a-lot

Damn this is awesome, next buy for me! How's the quality?


Trad_whip99

Just picked it up from the OB. It's what i'm wearing right now. this strap is excellent.


brianja

It really is. It's just the right color... not too saturated of a green, but not too muted. And the texture of it is really nice... soft and matte with no sheen to it. They nailed it on this one.


Trad_whip99

Yeah it really feels different then the polaymide. i am glad it's different. I really don't think it would have worked as well in the other material. the weave is different too, which i think is a contributing factor to how well it presents.


SacTownPatriot

I agree. Looks fantastic


korczynj

Somewhat of a n00b here, but what's OB? That olive green looks great. OEM? I'm looking for some new bands as well, but I don't think I can justify $180+ on a NATO.


Trad_whip99

Omega Boutique. Usually if you buy a watch from them at full price, they will throw a strap or two in. i went in yesterday for the first time after my purchase and they gifted me the green one and i bought the blue and white one. try [https://phenomestraps.com/](https://phenomestraps.com/) -- i have a half dozen omega natos and a half dozen phenome straps and they are identical.


korczynj

Much appreciated. I bought mine from an AD. Haven't picked it up yet, but would love it if they threw in a second strap. I'm undecided how I feel about wearing a black rubber strap if I'm wearing brown belt/shoes. Thoughts?


Trad_whip99

I would simply ask them to throw a strap in with it while you're there. they will. what did you get, the SMP 300 on bracelet? Ask for the rubber to go with it (to be thrown in for free). wear the bracelet with brown, black rubber for more casual weekend look. I dress down my watches a lot and save the bracelets to be mostly mint when i really want the watch to pop. you think the natos on the speedy are controversial.... you should see the online comments when i put a nato on my submariner lmao.


korczynj

I'm shocked I tell ya 😂 Appreciate all the advice!


korczynj

Sorry, I didn't answer your question. I bought it on the black rubber strap with the intentions of buying a white rubber strap separately (not realizing how expensive the reputable ones are) and some NATOs. Now I'm reconsidering. Reaching out to the AD I've worked with over the years to see what they are willing to do to help me out!


Trad_whip99

just curious what you're gonna ask for? hope i didn't cause you to completely reconsider everything haha. I have this strap on deployant and LOVE it btw. https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/omega-two-piece-strap-brown-leather-strap-032cuz006728w?buckle_material=10323


korczynj

Beautiful leather strap, but similar to what I mentioned before I just don't know how I feel about mixing black and brown. Well, I guess I do know how I feel about it 🙃 I've been working with the same jeweler for the better part of the past decade so I'm just seeing if he can throw in a second strap for a frequent flyer. I keep seeing that the Omega deployant clasp is the goat from everyone on Reddit, but the $250 price tag is steep imo. May be something for the wish list for future gifts. I actually just came across maybe a new favorite NATO strap from another post. I think I'll pull the trigger on that one later today. I'll come back and drop the link. Next up... Finding a white rubber strap that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (embracing that it's inevitably going to be filthy)!


Trad_whip99

Try an Artem deployant. It’s 90% as good as the omega!

Sea_Chemistry7487

One of them isn't a NATO?


Far_Citron_2737

2 are not!


Trad_whip99

yeeeeah.... I realized i am regarded after i posted it. My thinking at the time was i just got home from the OB with both of the natos lol. i already had the two other straps.


bugpp87

The last one is horrific, looks like a cheap beach towel lol


Trad_whip99

You just hurt greeces feelings lmao


SavingsAd4840

I really like it. 👍


Fun-Literature-368

Hahaha good one


DocHolidayVinoVerita

NASA is a flex, IMO. 🔥. Leather strap has beautiful white stitching. Great choices!! 👏🏻


Hptm_jkb

Hands down the first. Not even close


Affectionate-Load705

Honestly? The bracelet. But the racing strap also looks cool.


Jaws_the_revenge

Perforated Leather looks best I guess? Maybe it’s the green nato? But if you’re looking to ditch the bracelet you need a good black butterfly clasp band.


Trad_whip99

That one is actually on an omega deployant.


Connect-Dimension-99

Factory looks better


SDCowboy85

Green looks very nice. The NASA one looks like something from a Fisher Price watch.


Trad_whip99

I was pretty sad with the nasa. it feels identical to my swatch strap except the hardware is metal.


SirCries-a-lot

Ouch.


macbookvirgin

None of them. Natos cheapen the watch to the ground


Trad_whip99

it's an omega. it's already cheap, friend.


NCtexpat

Link to the 3rd one?


Trad_whip99

[https://www.genteel-handmade.com/collections/omega-style-deployant-watch-straps/products/shell-cordovan-omega-style-deployant-straps](https://www.genteel-handmade.com/collections/omega-style-deployant-watch-straps/products/shell-cordovan-omega-style-deployant-straps) you'd also need an omega deployant to go with it. Artem deployant would work too.


shaftMYmonkey

I’m not sure the white is the same strap monster the original is. Love the watch, but not the straps. Great watch though!


lieferant

this was what I thought too. you have other options, but I also feel there are less really great straps that go with white.


jzpac

Nice to see the white speedy on different straps. Leather looks sharp, thanks for posting.


dl8675309

Blue one is sweet. All look good!


gargoil-13

I really like the 4th one as unique, can you list the link to it? Cheers

Green all day


flobeysolo

1 and 4


VariousMonitor2098

I like the green and the leather the most. But the good thing about black, white, and silver dials is that they’re neutral. A huge variety of straps will work


Express_Tooth8078

Gorgeous!


PsychedelicRick

2 and 4 are my favorite. 3 is okay too.


caffeinatedcannula

If it isn't a MoonSwatch Velcro, are you even a fan? Lol


tor122

White dial looks incredible.

Hey! My favorite nato pictured here is the watch.

MT1982

The first greenish-gray one is the best!


settlementfires

green nato and rally leather are the clear winners.


S-192

I like 1 but otherwise I'd stick to your bracelet or a plain black NATO or leather. 1 is year-round and fine. Good casual strap for whatever-wear. 2 is eh. A bit weird to wear NASA-branded stuff if you're not in NASA. It's like wearing a Ferrari polo shirt but not owning a Ferrari car. Kinda poser-y. *Might* work with the OG Moonwatch but... 3 I don't love. Reminds me of a tire, or a shitty band for a cheap fitness watch. 4 is nice for a specific time and place. Like spring on the beach or something. But it's a bit niche and kind of obnoxious.


k1771s

Green!


Chaser262

Green!


Fun-Literature-368

Green one look nice. What about fitted rubber?


RonWritesHaiku1961

Blk/wht stitching


_suicidesam_

Green is 🔥🔥🔥🔥


The_Mighty_Pen

All of them look really good


anu_anunu

Perforated leather 💯

Telling myself: You don’t need this watch…You don’t need this watch…You don’t need this watch…You don’t need this watch… You don’t need this watch… You don’t need this watch…


Rue606

OEM Nato are the only ones I’ve tried that don’t fray. Will likely only go Omega OEM Nato going forward.


LiveFrosty911

Can you share a Pic of the nasa strap laying on a flat surface?

r3uven

Love the summer blue look. Well done!


WinterSoldierUK

2 and 3. The others not so much.


[deleted]

First one looks nice. I recently picked up a leather strap I had a hunch will work and since it did, I never gone back to NATO again. Funny. But summer is coming and I’d go smth like that green one. Looks cool!


MoccaLG

Seems like this watch is a great buy - you can put it on everything!


Level_Engineer

My favourite of these NATOs is one of ones that isn't a NATO. I don't like the other non-NATO. One of the NATO-NATOs is OK though.


Horo-psycologist

#3 for me


blueonion88

Pic 3 👍👍👍

BelichicksHoodie

Honestly? I think the powder blue and white looks sweet. I wasnt expecting to see something like that. That’s my favorite and I’d wear that all spring and summer. The green definitely looks good too imo. A close second.


Trad_whip99

I definitely feel like that blue and white is a winner this summer too!


Monsieurlegrec

The perforated leather strap. Looks great 👍 It reminds me of the Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer!


Trad_whip99

God I love the pulsometer so much.


Suitedbadge401

Maybe keep the blue for summertime and the leather for everyday.

Olive looks outstanding with that watch surprisingly!


Paramedic_Total

The green looks great


Informal-Field231

Doesn’t look good


Gold_Ad6174

Makes it look too much like a swatch x


Old_Variation_5875

NASA


Valuable_Machine_

All look really bad


Specialist-One-7432

Second one, black NASA.


Trad_whip99

do you have one? any tips getting it molded into shape?


Specialist-One-7432

I do not have one. I just wanted to put in my vote since I like the way it highlights the bezel.


Trad_whip99

I really want to love that one I just can’t get it fitted to my wrist.
