Description
Punched Tan leather, 20mm, steel fittings and pin buckle NATO strap
After World War II, NATO introduced the so-called NSN (NATO Stock Number) for its equipment. Since the strap was used by the military, it had to be functional and reliable. It was made in a standard length of 28 cm with 11 holes to fit all wrists as well as to be worn over diving suits and uniforms.
A particular advantage of the strap running behind the watch is that if one spring bar breaks or pops out, the case is still secured by the other spring bar. Because NATO, straps are easy to change, sturdy and durable, they have also become increasingly popular as a stylish accessory in recent years.
