Reply With QuoteThey do look great. I was almost tempted with the orange one but opted for a bunch of rubber straps instead. Results to be unveiled on arrival of the watch...
When ordering the new SuperOcean Heritage I was quite taken by Breitling’s new range of Outerknown NATO straps in recycled materials. I ordered one up and it arrived today and I have to say that despite the �� price tag I am very impressed with it. I chucked it on my Speedbird GMT which was kicking about without a strap and you can see the results below. I think I’ll probably order a few more in different colours.

It looks very nice but what a strange name.

Good point. It seems that it is a sustainable clothing brand with a surfer sort of leaning, which I guess fits in with the marketing of the new watches.
Edited to add: seems to be owned by Kelly Slater so definitely a surf-focus.

I'm sure someone will soon be making similar looking straps for a fraction of the cost.
Ahh now it makes sense.
I have one on my Superocean Outerknown , it's a really nice NATO and I'm far from a NATO fan (I was intending to replace the NATO with some kind of rubber strap).
Going to order another one for my Seamaster 2250 I think.I did order an Omega NATO for the Seamaster on the back of my new found NATO appreciation but in my opinion the Breitling is much nicer.I returned the Omega strap.
I have a green bezelled super ocean heritage 42mm, i wonder what it would look like with that nato on? i bet pretty good, £130 is not a steal though.
Ha, I’ve also ordered and received the strap form Breitling.
I ordered 22mm strap but…..they fitted 20mm buckle with wrong pin…..I can’t use this strap…..Very disappointed….
Bit of a bump. These seem to have had mainly positive comments when new. How have they held out as I’m thinking of getting one?
