The "NATO" strap is the newest thing in tudor strap watchmaking right now, born out of the British Army's demand for "security" and transformed with the occasion into a modern style for personal timepieces.
The NATO strap looks like the official NATO strap within the regular split strap, with only two differences: one is that it is 16mm wide and the other is that there are only two steel metal rings on the strap. The watch also has some improvements in its specifications, with a thickness of 20 mm, a substance change to nylon material, two strap loops to three, and a substance change from stainless steel to rhodium-plated copper. It was also determined that the entire band as a whole is 280 mm, in addition to being single into gray.
The strap was also long, supposedly so that troops could use it to tie their sleeves when useful, or legs, etc. In case of injury, it could also be used as a bandage, and I personally feel that it could also be used to strangle the enemy to death by slamming him in the neck area from behind during physical combat with him. The name eventually became NATO because during that time, soldiers in the United Kingdom were required to fill out the G1098 list, conforming to the standardized rules for NATO armed forces employees of 13-digit quality in order of the number of depots. Even though this strap came from the British Ministry of Protection, it is still actually referred to as the G10 NATO.
Tudor's sewn-in strap. Tudor utilizes one of the many companies that remain in France to utilize a "jacquard weave" that utilizes polyethylene fibers, silk and natural cotton to produce a unique weave that can be achieved to ensure that it is both strong and flexible.
