Omega Seamaster Professional on NATO straps

Professional
on NATO straps

I wanted to try something new and ordered two genuine NATO/G10 straps from TimeFactors. Eddie Platts from Timefactors seems to be an overall nice guy, and shipment from the U.K. to Germany took only 3 days.

Here are the originally wrapped straps, straight out of the envelope:

Here's the plain black strap. Please notice how I was able this time to capture the wave pattern on the dial.

This is the alternative style, a "Bond" style strap, as seen in "Goldfinger". I currently like this one better and I'm wearing it as I'm typing this page.

In case you were wondering how in the world those NATO straps fix to the watch (I was wondering, so maybe are you), here's the answer. As you see, there are two layers of Nylon going under the case back. This makes the watch ride a bit higher than on the bracelet.
