That also included anything that was used to fasten down stuff, to avoid objects (or humans) from flying around the craft which is never any fun of course. One of those things used to keep the watches from flying off everyone’s wrists were our NATO straps.
NATO style straps are utilitarian and their origin can be nicely traced back to the seventies where legend has it that they were conceived by the British Ministry of Defense. The NATO strap, or the G10 strap as they were commonly referred to at the time, should ensure your wristwatch stays on your wrist under a variety of circumstances.
Where a normal watch strap’s life ends, the NATO’s just gets started. With this in mind and wanting to go about as utilitarian as we could possibly go, we are introducing Shell Cordovan NATO straps. These are about as tough as they come and they are made right here in our atelier in Belgium.
