NATO Strap red 22mm

Red at 22mm: nothing lukewarm

A clear red on a wide strap is the strongest contrast in the catalogue. Set on a black-dialled Seiko Turtle, the whole thing turns into a graphic object. You do not pick this strap by default; you pick it to be seen.

The safety of a continuous band

A conventional strap attaches in two parts on each side of the case. The NATO instead forms one uninterrupted band on which the watch simply rests. Even with the spring bars open, it cannot fall. That principle is what earned it its military career.

Material and care

Made from a single piece of woven nylon, this strap follows the British G10 specification. The band passes under the case and bears on both spring bars. Marine-grade anti-corrosion stainless buckle and keepers: the sea, water sports and diving do not worry it. A 30° machine wash is accepted.

Which watches take 22mm
