RitcheChristmas Gift 18mm 20mm 22mm 24mm Military Ballistic Nylon Strap With Black Heavy Buckle Watch Band (Glossy Buckle), White Elephant Gifts, Stocking Stuffers for Men

This is an outstanding Nato watch strap! The quality of the strap material exceeds my expectation; as soon as I saw the buckle and strap loops the quality was evident; the length is good and last but my favorite of all is the color--it is Army green (I'm a military veteran) with a very low-level sheen. It far exceeds the original Nato strap that came with my watch. I'm pleased...I'm impressed...Buyt it! Peace.

I had been looking for a green with black round Zulu style buckles rather than the flat style i often see. I have purchased Ritchie straps in the past so i knew the quality of item I'd be getting and as expected it was. I prefer wearing a rubber strap but had been wanting this one for awhile after seeing others on this exact watch and thought they paired up well. For the price you really can't go wrong with Ritchie products as they are great quality, the material is soft yet durable, and a great value for the money.

Pros: very comfortable for a Nato band, thicker webbing. Buckles are firm and if washes regularly remains snug and haven't become jangly after use in ocean and other wet activites.Cons: Eyelets for clasp closure tend to loosen. This can be fixed by sending it through the washer and dryer in protective bag to tighten up the nylon through heat. But the original manufacturer could also reinforce the eyelets more.

Very comfortable and great quality

Got a new watch.Had a rubber band.Don't care for them.I looked at a few before I found this one.I must say, it's a good product. Good price. And wide enough for the watch.Just a good deal.

The strap was too long. I also didn't like the extra buckle on the end. It should have just had one. Otherwise the quality of the material seemed to be rugged.

Comfortable, flexible, good looking. Will probably buy 1-2 more in different colors.

Being a veteran I've had the habit of wearing large sturdy watches for a very long time. It seems their only real drawback is rubber watchbands. I never seem to get more than about a year out of them before they start falling apart. Enter the Ritchie Nato Zulu band. I just received my two bands less than an hour ago so I can't really vouch for durability. However, the band seems fairly indestructible. The only real threat would seem to be funkiness from sweat. At this point, I can slip on a spare band for a day or so, wash it with warm water and soap, air dry and reinstall. Installation was a breeze. I simply cut the old rubber band off and threaded the new band through the pins without even having to remove them. There are several ways to do this. So if you're not a big fan of a large ball of excess strap routed through the rings on the outside, there are cleaner alternatives. You can do research on YouTube and it will take you about 10 minutes to try them all out to see which works best for you. Perhaps best of all is the selection of colors and even patterns available in this type of watch band. They easily combine function and fashion so that your watch bands can be changed as easily as you might change a neck tie to match what you're wearing or the look and feel you're in the mood for. They can literally be swapped in seconds. Two bands costed less than a single replacement rubber one. I'm sitting here wondering where these bands have been my whole life.

Excelente material que se ve y siente de buena calidad. El único punto en contra es que es un material grueso que no le queda a todos los relojes, sin embargo queda perfecto para mi submariner, así que le doy las 5 estrellas.

The Strap is of very good quality, however feel it to be slightly heavy. Received spring bars alogn with it, however i received the wrong size (ordered 24mm) received 22mm. otherwise a great strap.

Great strap to use when i needed to have the back of my watch raised off my skin due to the metals used to secure the battery compartment. Strong and sturdy, this strap survived a match of paintball with a direct hit to the watch. 100% recommend!

Easy to install and a varied choice of colours and patterns, all interchangeable. Good product, would recommend.
