“A bit misleading... - It's a coincidence that around the same time that I bought this strap, Watchgecko introduced an ACTUAL marine nationale strap. I realise from the fittings that it's a NATO, but I rather mistakenly assumed the fabric was elasticated, as with the original marine nationale strap. I realise now that I simply misread, however it is slightly annoying. That said, there's nothing particularly lacking. The fabric is lightweight, and seems a little frail at first glance; however it holds up alright. The buckle and loops lack the wholly military aspect of more traditional fittings, seeming quite flimsy. Still, it's generally superior to the vast majority of straps available on the market. It just doesn't have quite the same satisfying feel one might expect from a zuludiver strap...”

“Great strap, bit off on the colours - Great band. Brushed hardware goes perfectly with the hard anodized aluminium case of my chronograph. Only complaint is the colours - the green bands have a great olive drab colour, but the red stripe in mine is not a pure red at all, it leans heavily toward an orange-red; and the grey is a nice dark grey, but it is a bit too cold (blue) for my liking. Adjusting their colours to make them more 'pure' would make them more appealing in my opinion.”

“Great Band! - I love this band, the color really makes my watch feel completely different. Coworkers have also complimented my watch not realizing that I had just swapped out the NATO band. Very good quality and you will not be disappointed.”

“Real transformation - I have brought tons of straps from WG and every time I have been impressed, however this time I'm more than impressed, got this one for my vintage Seiko perpetual, it was on a boring leather strap, I kept thinking about a nato and finally pressed the button on another classic nato, and hey! check out the pic! Absolutely beautiful, Gecko the besto, for a Nato!”

“Great strap overall - I'd say I don't 'Love' it but I actually do, but my only gripe is that the only Hardware option is just Sandblasted. If Zuludiver could make more Options for Hardware it'd be an 11/10, but for now it stays at a 8.5/10”
