Reply With QuoteI don’t know where the strap in the photo is from but Eddies brown NATO is a great strap and will not be too far off in colour.
I’ve looked online but can’t find this exact colour.
My watch currently has a black strap which doesn’t suit it.
I think the lume pots with the splash of red really suits this yellow/beige/khaki?! strap.
Any ideas where to buy?

Thanks, I looked it up.Originally Posted by Sinnlover
It’s close but not quite the colour I’m after, this is the problem I’m finding!
Have you seen Eddie's in the flesh? I have one and it looks almost identical to your picture to my eyes. Especially now it's been worn a while and the shine has worn off.
Have a look at the photo of the “rootbeer” in the perfect strap thread. I don’t think the colour of Eddies NATO will be too different.
I think there are far too many variables in terms of screen adjustment for you to be certain about getting the colour right first time; I think you’ll need to buy a few and one will turn up that’s just right. I’d start with the Eddie suggestion above and perhaps try one or two from Cousins. Luckily they aren’t too expensive; trying to achieve the same thing with something in exotic skins would be much more fraught.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Thanks for the replies, I’ll have a look at the root beer thread too
The picture you have posted looks exactly like a strap I have purchased for my Oris Divers 65. I liked it so much I have bought 4 of them in total now! Very well made and not as bulky as a zuludiver - which I use with my Sumo, (orange strap). Check out sectime on ebay and look at their Desert Sand Nato.
Nothing coming up for sectime?
Okay - that is the sellers identity. Try this link:

Looks good.
Thanks!
I have the following watches on this strap, as it suits them better than anything else I have tried, (and I have a lot of straps!).
Smiths PRS 40
Oris Diver 65
Steinhart B-Uhr
I did have my Longines Legend Diver on one as well - but that is another story and another thread ...
:o)
Strap arrived today for my Red. It looks really good!
Thanks for all the suggestions.
That looks pretty cool!
I'm wearing my Steinhart Ocean One Black on one of these right at this very moment.
(Sorry no wrist shot as I'm useless with technology - especially uploading photos).

It was the you link you sent which I thought matched the colour best.
I’m very happy with it, thanks!
Try the Tapatalk app, that’s what I use and it’s very easy to upload pics.
No problem - as I said previously I loved this strap so much I have bought 4 of them - 2x22mm and 2x20mm. At some point I will have to post some pics of my watches with different strap combinations. It may help some people out - as opposed to doing what I did - buy eveything and try everything!
One more as the sun is shining in Scotland
Yep - definitely looks the business!
vintage watch on a new strap is weird try to find an old nato
