The progression of the single pass leather nato from obscure military tool to mainstream fashion accessory might seem strange to some, but it’s hardly an anomaly. Just look at modern flieger or dive watches, both of which started out as tool watches for specific purposes but now are seen on the wrists of people from the boardroom to the beach.

The NATO strap’s ability to transcend its roots is perhaps best exemplified by the Single Pass Leather NATO, which brings a premium leather and hardware to the classic nylon NATO design. This style of NATO strap uses a single-pass construction that allows the strap to thread through the watch lugs only once, rather than twice. This cuts down on bulk and results in a sleek, low-profile fit that distributes the weight of your watch evenly on your wrist.

Suede Watch Straps: A Stylish Alternative

Made with premium top grain oil pull up leather, the strap is handstitched with 0.6 mm bonded thread. The hardware on this NATO is crafted with 316 stainless steel, making it a durable and long-lasting choice for any watch owner.

For ease of installation, this NATO features quick-release clasps. You can swap NATO straps effortlessly with these, allowing you to match your watch with your mood and attire on any given day. This NATO is compatible with most watch brands and models, but be sure to check the lug width before purchasing. If you have any questions about compatibility, please reach out.
