In praise of the Elliot Brown Webbing - NATO #2.0 strap.

This is one of the most comfortable straps I have, multiple colourways and buckles.

A single pass webbing strap (UK woven) with unique, patented buckle that is multi adjustable and will comfortably fit my 7.5" wrist, but will even go down to the c. 5" wrist of my girlfriend / partner for her daily wear EB Kimmeridge and looks fine on that even though the 22mm strap is slotted through 20mm lugs.

Would the 22mm work on my 21mm lugged Omega PO, Guy…without too much ‘flapping about?.’ Cheers.

@Gar787 - I'm sure it will.

Take another look at my girlfriend's Kimmeridge, which is 20mm lugs with 22mm strap, that aspect will be fine.

A note of caution; the strap is really quite soft and pliable with your PO being quite hefty. It may flop around a bit if you only do the strap up loosely.

Lovely and soft woollen teal/grey Luff nato. Keeps the watch nicely in place. My first nato. I can suddenly see the appeal.

My first Seiko with a bracelet. I know I’m supposed to hate it but it looks and feels great. Even the famous stamped clasp.

Rolex had stamped clasps on their old models didn't they.
My cheap Invicta 1953 (Rolex homage) has a stamped clasp, but it wears fine.

The Polaris loop and hook from Z A straps. As ever with Z A it is well made and up to the task of holding a relatively heavy strap in place. I also thought I would give QR stand-alone spring bars a go…

^^^^ How's the length, Neil? It doesn't look overly long. :-k :-k

I've got a similar style strap on my Beachmaster from YWS (Yorkshire Watch Straps) and it's on the max, to get all the hooks attached to loops, on my 7.5" wrist.

The standard length that I have is stated as suitable for 6.5”-8”.
https://zastraps.com/products/polaris?_ ... 1dd2&_ss=r
The length is spot on for me (generally 6.75”) as it’s fully aligned. With say 7.5” you would have about .75” of the Velcro visible. As usual with Z A they will do the strap in shorter or longer lengths.

I am thinking the colour I have would also work ok with my C65D, C65SC, Pelagos and older MK1 C60.
