Description
Choose the correct width for your watch. The width of the nato needs to be the same width as the lugs of the watch it is used on. I have added the lug width in the “dimensions” section of a watch discription. For the SKX007 or SRPD-Sports you need a 22mm nato strap, (for most Seiko 5 Sports the 22mm strap is correct). |
Based on the dimensions of my Supernato I have made nato straps made of very comfortable “slanted” nylon. Instead of straight, it is woven across and that causes the strap to feel softer and more souple. This weave also makes it shine a bit.
- lumed
Dark blue-gold-lumed has a line in the center, that will light up in the dark. Usually the strap is covered under your sleeve, so the strength of the light will not be high, but in the summer the strap gets more (sun)light and will light up much brighter.
Especially for the new SRPE80 I made two straps with bronze hardware!
When a nato strap is too long: put it between two coins and cut it. Melt the threads with a lighter, press them together when they are hot. Sometimes threads that hold the loops stick out a bit, melt them and press them flat.
