Notice CWC are now also offering a single pass strap in a similar style, though limited to 20mm.

Quite like the look of these new Ridge Natos from WatchGecko. Anyone tried them yet?

Another nice option. I had been looking for a Seiko Seichu Nato but this type of strap seems to be a good and less expensive alternative (granted they may not be as premium as the Seiko nato but do have a similar look).Originally Posted by Ed875
I bought a couple of similar straps from cheapestnatostraps last week
I would hope WG or CWC are better quality than the ones I bought, they are so stiff they are un wearable.
I will put them in the washing machine to see if they soften up but they went straight in to the strap box and not on a watch.
Should be noted the CWC is £14 cheaper.
I know which one I’ll be trying out.
What’s the advantage of these ridged straps over a regular NATO? Are they meant to be more comfortable, or is it just the latest new look/trend?
Agree with the stiffness.Tried the washing machine softening technique - didn't make much difference and lost a lot of the colour.Looking for the same style of strap but softer material.

NATOs shouldn’t be ‘nice’ 😂
That CWC brown one is gorgeous*
*I should get out more.
Why is that?
I think the demographic wearing them has expanded a bit since 1973

Maybe a take on the original 6B/2617 from1954? Often seen on the Smiths GS 6B/346 of the same date. The company that remade the AF0210 have also remade the 6B/2617.

This is the one I'd go for but the CWC ones look great for a tenner each. Good colours too.

Interesting, thanks for the link. I assumed they were following on from the latest Seiko fancy Japanese-weave nato's that were released last year. I do admit that I find the look quite nice, and the 'ribs' make them look more padded than your bog-standard nato, although not sure if that actually rings true in reality!
The CWC ones look good though for the price and colourways.

Absolutely. Girlies!

My black one arrived today and really is excellent, as good as anything I've had.

Looks good!
