Our own Classic Nylon NATO Strap is no different. For us, honoring this legacy was a no-brainer. Our NATO straps are simple, classic, and confident, but never too fancy, or over the top. We love the look so much that it’s easy to forget these bands were originally built to hold up in the field. This strap is carefully crafted with premium waterproof nylon, reinforced with heavy duty stitching, and finished with a durable stainless steel mil-spec buckle that won't chip or tarnish. And yet for all of its durability, this strap remains surprisingly lightweight and breathable. And hey, if it takes a beating in the elements, no problem – just toss it in the washer. This "side strap" is a failsafe backup that secures the watch from behind, preventing it from sliding off the strap while putting it on your wrist. Keeping to tradition, the military specification, or "mil-spec," buckle doesn't have a spring bar, eliminating one more possible point of failure. The original G-10 NATO strap came standard in 20mm, Admiralty Grey. We offer a lot more variety, so switch it up as often as you want. The NATO strap design blocks the biometric sensors on smartwatches. Smartwatch wearers should check out our quick release straps instead. These straps come in 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, and 24mm. These sizes refer to the lug width, or the space between your watch’s lugs – the small points on either side of the face, where the end of the strap attaches. Be sure to carefully measure your watch's lug width before ordering. Per its general-issue origins, the classic NATO strap comes in one length. You will likely have a bit of slack after tightening the strap to a comfortable fit, and that's ok! The remaining fabric tucks away neatly and, dare we say, fashionably. Thread the main strap through the watch's spring bars, behind the watch Pull the end of the main strap through the stainless steel ring at the end of the shorter "Y-strap" ## Features - Elite Heritage – First issued by Britain’s Ministry of Defense, the nylon NATO watch strap was designed to be tough, lightweight, and failsafe. Ours is no different—a testament to uncompromising quality and design that cuts no corners. - Classic Design – Here at Archer Watch Straps, we consider the NATO strap the wayfarer of watch straps. That’s why it was our very first model. A perfect balance of fashion and function, our nylon bands are clean, classic, and timelessly sharp. - Made to Endure – Honoring its esteemed history, our strap was carefully crafted with premium waterproof nylon and a durable stainless steel mil-spec buckle that won't chip or tarnish. Fit for the modern day adventurerer, it's one of the most durable straps in our lineup. - Locked in Place – Using the simple Y-Strap ensures that if one of your watch’s spring bars fails, the other will keep that treasured time-piece on your wrist. Our straps are sewn with use time-tested, heavy-duty stitching, so unlike bands that use cheap heat-bonding, our seams won’t come apart. - A Fit for Any Wrist – This classic style comfortably fits wrists from about 5.5” to roughly 8.5” in circumference. And don’t worry—any excess tucks away easily for your comfort and convenience. We’ve also spaced our stainless steel keeper rings to allow for added slack in the loop, giving you more flexibility for placing the watch and buckle along the band. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B07VB1H3W7 | | Best Sellers Rank | 13 in Men's Watchbands | | Date First Available | 15 Jan. 2020 | | Department | unisex-adult | | Item Model Number | ARC-NATO2-P | | Manufacturer | Archer Watch Straps | ## Images ![Classic Nylon NATO Watch Bands - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PPKIetTEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Colour Name, Size Name** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it come with spring bars?** A: No. You are expected to thread the strap through the existing spring bars on your watch. **Q: are these washable** A: Yes. You can wash it by hand or in the dishwasher or washing machine. **Q: Could this be fitted into a Casio G-Shock?** A: Thank you for asking! This would largely depend on the model of G-Shock in question. Some Casio models use a proprietary connection that our bands are not compatible with so we would not be able to guarantee that this band would be compatible with your model. If you need anything else our team is here to help! **Q: Which country issued the military specification and what is the reference?** A: The reference is to the style of the strap rather than a particular manufacturer. The "NATO" strap was available to the British military from the early 1970s. The standard colour was grey. They were also known as a G10 strap because, in order to obtain one, a particular requisition form (the G1098) had to be completed. The strap became popular because it was easy to fit, replace and care for, and could easily be adjusted for a very wide range of width fittings to enable a watch to be worn over or under most battle dress. The way they are attached means that, if the spring bars of the watch became damaged, the watch would usually remain on the wrist. They became known as the "NATO" strap becasue of military slang that used the term NATO to refer to anything that was basic / plain / unadorned / standard issue. - e.g. a "NATO cup of tea" but, because the style is unique, the name stuck. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strap *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 June 2026* Well made, good price and looks great on a military watch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a good strap *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 April 2026* Bought the 20mm orange for a G-Shock CasiOak and it fits perfectly. Colour is accurate to the listing, very vibrant and matches orange indices well. Build quality feels solid, hardware is weighty and the stitching is clean. Stiff out of the box as expected for nylon/polyamide but softening up with wear. Good length, plenty of adjustment even with my tiny wrist. For the price this is genuinely hard to fault and to fault it would be unfair. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replacement for Casio W-86 strap *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 November 2024* Casio W-86 is a great watch with a rubbish strap. The 18mm strap will fit (Casio state it's a 19mm strap) but you have to remove the pins, there's not enough room to feed the strap under the pins if they're left in. Note that the pins are tapered, not sprung loaded! It's a fiddle due to the lack of room and the strap thickness but it will fit and can be adjusted. As for the strap itself, it seems good quality but a bit bulkier than I thought and it's tricky to get the buckle where I want it, but overall it's good and I'm keeping it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Archer Watch Straps - Classic Military Style Nylon Watch Bands - WOCCI Removal Install Repair Tool for Watch Bands Spring Bars Pins Replacement - Selizo Spring Bar Tool Watch Link Remover Tool Kit with Instruction Manual Watch Band Tool Link Pin Removal for Watch Repair Band Adjustment Replacement Sizing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/201706396-classic-nylon-nato-watch-bands](https://www.desertcart.in/products/201706396-classic-nylon-nato-watch-bands) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
