NATO Strap Goldfinger Grey red black 20mm

The best-selling NATO strap in our catalogue

Across our whole NATO range, this colourway comes first, and by some distance. The red pinstripe explains it: it gives the black and grey stripe just enough lift to be noticed, without ever tipping into colour. A strap people notice, not a strap that shows off.

A Rolex Deepsea? Choose 20mm, not 22

This is the kind of advice you will not find on a spec sheet. The first-generation Deepsea (116660) is listed at 21mm lug width, the current models (126660, 136660) at 22mm. With a NATO strap the logic reverses: the strap passes under the case, so you can go narrower, never wider. And on the Deepsea's thick lugs, a 22mm curls at the edges.

That is why most Deepsea owners fit 20mm: it sits flat, it holds, it does not lift. 21mm remains an option if you want to fill the lug gap exactly. Your call — but now you know why.

Made from a single piece of woven nylon, this NATO watch strap follows the original British G10 specification. The strap slides under the case and bears on both spring bars. Marine-grade anti-corrosion stainless steel buckle and keepers — sea, water sports and diving without reservation. Machine washable at 30°.
