The black Unimatic can take virtually any strap, but which one looks best?

It all depends on what look you want to achieve.

3 - all black OEM for stealth
5 - Black/Grey for 007/Bond
6 - Olive Green for military

I would get rid of all the others or use them for other watches.

I voted OEM black but there are several in there that fit the bill. The olive/dark tan would look good too.

I'm a fan of the Olive on black, that's where my vote went. Close second place goes to bond nato, then the OEM black I think. You're right though, any of them would work and it's nice to have the others for some change ups!

There really is only one colour for a NATO strap: Admiralty grey.

And they look great (in my opinion).

I voted #9 Brown, beige, green and red but in all honesty pretty much any of the straps you've got will be a good combination, perhaps with a thought to wearing the in a Sports or quasi-Military role.

It's one of the beauty of NATO straps in that they can be changed in seconds, when one fancies it.
