    SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC strap ideas

    I have just taken delivery of my SMITHS NATO PRS-40... What an interesting and unique watch...
    I'm going to try out some different strap combinations...any pictures of different combos with the same model of watch much appreciated.

    I bought this PRS-40Q to mess around with straps while waiting for the Chrono version.

    I have decided that three-piece Natos (with the extra hardware around the head) distract attention away from the the case shape which is the star of the show... so I have converted all the Natos for this watch into single-pass.

    This my favourite strap for the watch. It's a cheapo elastic from Amazon. Converted to single-pass and one keeper removed. The stripe works well with the lines in the dial and make the green of the lume pop. Sorry about the low quality pics. I can't be bothered that much with pics these days.

    A good idea with the single pass nato's....Both of your strap options look good. I'm also waiting for the chrono version to be released..... I like the design of these very much.

    Excuse the poor photo. Gloomy day in Leics and I used a phone.




    On my own relatively slender wrist, the sand-blasted hardware on the strap is a bit heavy and cumbersome. But it's a perfect match for the case.

    Looks great… I got to handle one of these not long ago and it’s a really well built piece. Great one to own 👌
