    Quality NATOs?

    I'm looking for a good quailty 'bond' nato in 22mm,

    I previously had a 'vintage bond' from WatchGecko but found the material a bit too thin/flimsy.

    I've ordered an RAF grey/black 'bond' one from Eddie that, at 1.4mm should be good, but would like a coloured one as well, like in the pic below and 'RAF' style if at all possible for single thickness under the watch.

    Any suggestions please?

    Cheers

    Crown and buckle. You'd have to make it raf style yourself

    You could buy a Jetson from Barton and remove the extra bit, I have a different colour and have done this, takes seconds with sharp scissors and a flame to seal the cut. https://www.bartonwatchbands.com/col...lon-nato-strap For different colours look at Haveston http://haveston.com/index.html and Blue Shark https://www.blusharkstraps.com . I have a couple from Haveston and their sliding keeper is a real improvement.

    I also endorse Haveston. The fact that they're longer at the 12 end, along with the floating keeper, means the buckle sits under your wrist. Their M1936 is a single layer and might go quite nicely with your Pelagos.

    Can also recommend Crown & Buckle and BluShark for high-quality seatbelt-style.

    In true Bond style, a 20mm 'bond' on the Pelagos LHD (22mm) .....

    This is one of Eddie's and I much prefer the more 'olive/khaki?' rather than more green stripes. Unfortunately Eddie doesn't do one in 22mm....anyone know of one elsewhere?




    Cheers

    Crown And Buckle seconded. I can also recommend Geckota from watchgecko.
