I've recently been loading up on assorted widths and makes of Natos and Zulus from 2 3T sponsors in various colors (blues, blacks, dark grays, light grays, lavenders, browns, tans, khakis, greens, signal reds, coast guard oranges) and various makes of hardware (low lite, polished steel, PVD). I rediscovered these straps but practically grew up as a teen on a Skunk, a James Bond, and various regimentals. Back then, my pieces were plain vanilla Vietnam-issue Timexes and Hammis----handed down to me by uncles that were in the service and also from my dad's buddies.
I like the way the strap flows out of the lugs and somehow the Zulu/Nato presents the head on a higher profile on one's wrist. With heavy steel bracelets, one feels the entire weight of the watch ---- and you can't tell the difference ---- but when using the Zulus/Natos, the wearer feels the entire watchhead 100%. IMHO, this is a great feeling.
Here are just some of them but I have 18s, 20s, 22s and 24s.
I'll show more as we go along over the next few months but thanks for looking. I'd recommend these for WIS that want a different feel on the wrist.
