Ordered zuludiver marine nato Monday night, arrived Wednesday morning. First class service, first class product. Exactly as described and colours are spot on. After seeing erikas originals MN strap I thought surely someone must do a nato version. After a lot of trawling ZULUDIVER seem to be the first, so congratulations I think you've got a winner. This is the third time I have used Zuludiver, and every time the service and products have been top notch. But it's the unusual and hard to find straps that make the difference like the odd size nato's. Purhased a 19mm nato for my IWC mark XV, which as far as I am aware nobody else does. Will continue to use Zuludiver and would definately reccomend.

Great nato and great color options. These are thinner than other nato straps, but they are well made, and not as bulky as some of the thicker ones. Nice matte finished hardware. I received my strap in the US in 6 days with just regular shipping, so very happy with that. I will definitely be ordering more of these in the future.

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.

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...

Very thin in a good way. Doesnt seem to be flimsy in any way just thin which is actually nice in comparison to the other natos. Doesnt add much height to the watch and it looks good being that the colors are very vibrant. I will likely buy many more.
