No from me. The C3 goes with many straps, but not NATOs in my view.

Re: Not the standard strap....
This one isn't working for me. The C3 is just too dressy for a fabric Nato. Maybe a brown leather Nato?
Actually, on second thought, the whole watch is just horrible. You should send it to me immediately for proper disposal.

I'm not really fan of fabric Nato straps, but I do think this combination looks somehow great .

Black or brown leather NATO straps are readily available.
It might also emphasize the retro look.

Surely the 'comfort of a NATO' comes from the materiel i.e. nylon weave, as opposed to the style?gweilgi wrote:What about combining the dressiness of leather with the comfort of NATO?v8power wrote:This one not working for me (I'm not a big NATO straps lover), but I see big potential here.

I think the NATO looks fine on the C3.
I have a gray NATO that I occasionally put on my black dial C3:

Not a massive Nato fan but this grey one is lovely and suits this C3 perfectly.hwc wrote:I think the NATO looks fine on the C3.

A Dress watch on a Nato? thats so 2013. I prefer Bahnstormers combo but this has promise.
I miss all the great things that may never be.
