Nato Watch Strap, it’s a wonderful way to add more excitement to your watch, whether with color or just to differentiate yourself from your dad’s bulky, sweaty and stuffy steel watch band.
The real beauty of these watch bands is just how versatile they are. Their relative inexpensiveness means you can have a couple of them and change the look of your watch as often as you’d like. And since NATOs seem to work on almost everything, you can use the same $20 strap on a $50 or $500 timepiece and still have those compliments streaming in. You can always see a Omega Seamaster with 22mm NATO watch bands.
For watch owners, the military-inspired NATO strap can convey a sense of adventure, style and ruggedness. Technically speaking, it’s a one-piece strap that slides underneath the case so your skin doesn’t touch the metal. And while we still love a solid metal band, it’s nice to change things up a little.

How to choose a nato watch straps on different occassion?
1, Choose the a color that compliments your outfit.
Nato watches come in different colors so make sure you coordinate your watch’s color with your outfit. Watches either come in a solid, neutral color or in three different stripes of color. For a sleeker, more professional look, go for a single color. For a more casual look, go for three different colors.
Make sure to match your colors with your outfit. For example, pair a solid blue strap with a blue shirt.
If you’re going with a watch with multiple colors, choose colors that go with your outfit. If you’re wearing an orange shirt, for example, you could opt for a watch with a yellow, blue, and orange stripe.
2,Pair it with casual clothing.
For the most part, nato watches pair well with casual outfits. You can wear a watch with jeans and a t-shirt, a casual slip dress, a flannel button down top, or other casual attire.
If your casual outfit is in neutral shades and solid patterns, a nato watch can add some flare. A striped nato watch, for example, can look great with a plain colored t-shirt and jeans.
3,Wear your watch with formal clothing.
It’s best to go for a solid colored watch strap for a formal or stripes in more neutral, played down shades like dark blues or reds. A nato watch can look great with something like a slim-fitted suit or a blouse and skirt. It’s appropriate to wear a nato watch strap to the office if it’s paired with appropriate business attire.
However, nato watch straps almost always add a small amount of casual flare to an outfit. You may want to forego them for more formal occasions.
If you want your watch strap to look more formal, go for a strap made from a material like leather over cloth.
4,Brighten up the look with footwear.
When it comes to accessorizing with a nato watch, you want something that brightens up your look without distracting from the watch. Footwear is a great way to mildly accessorize your look. Add a little color by pairing a nato watch strap with brightly colored shoes, like red or yellow shoes.
It can be great to do some color coordination with your watch strap and shoes. For example, if your watch strap has a red stripe, pair it with a red pair of shoes.

Know what is the feature of different material, you should know how to wear a nato watch strap ?
Step 1: Putting On Your Watch Strap
Step 2 : Buckle the long end of the strap.
To start applying the strap, take the long end of your nato watch’s strap. Slide it through the buckle on the other end. Use the right hole for your wrist size to secure the buckle.
If you find, after putting the watch on, that it is too tight or too loose, you can repeat the process using a different hole.
The keepers are the loops near the watch’s buckle. Slip the tail end of your watch’s strap through both of the loops. With a nato watch, there will be a lot of excess strap sticking out after you slide the tail through the keepers.
With nato watches, it’s fashionable to fold the excess strap and then tuck in the tip of your tail. Fold the excess watch strap backwards and push it under one of the keepers. Then, fold the small bit of tail remaining and tuck it into one of the keepers. You can fold the tail either outwards or inwards.
Tucking the tail inwards gives the watch a neater look, but with a smaller wrist there may not be enough wiggle room for an inward tuck. If your tail will not tuck inwards, you may have to tuck the watch outwards.
That's all!
