FS: Biggest selection of NATO nylon military straps

My range of NATO straps -- the biggest selection available online --- just got bigger: I am now offering the popular olive khaki welded NATO straps in 18mm, as well as the 20mm and 22mm ones many of you have already bought.

If you’re looking for NATOs in navy blue, I have now solid navy blue straps in 18mm, 20mm and 22mm, and now also “Blue Bonds” with blue outer stripes and a single center yellow stripe in 18mm.

I have most any size and style of nylon military NATO straps, more than 25 different colors, styles and sizes, including the famous James Bond NATO strap.

You can see a complete list of the colors and sizes I sell at the end of this ad. I have sold NATO straps to many online customers over the years, so just ask if you want references.


In sizes 16mm, 18mm and 20mm in the stitched type, I have NATOs in black, and dark green, as well as grey in 16mm and 18mm.

Also in stitched type, I have the James Bond 5 stripes in 18mm and 20mm, both made in England in the style popular for Rolex Submariners, Omega Speedmasters and many other watches.

I also have the "Skunk Bond" with 3 stripes (grey/black) in 18mm and 20mm, shown below.

For a different look, opt for a camouflage pattern NATO in 18mm or 20mm.

These NATOs all have shiny chromed buckles and the straps are a minimum of 11 1/4 inches long not counting the buckle, so they will fit even the largest size wrist.

In addition to my stitched NATOs, I also now stock a larger variety of welded NATO straps in many colors and sizes. The 22mm ones are available in six colors: navy blue, black, grey, green, olive khaki and the James Bond 5 stripe grey/black. The 22mm straps are 12 inches long.

I also have the olive khaki in 18mm and in 20mm, in addition to 22mm. Here is a better shot of the popular olive khaki NATO:

Plus the navy is available in 18mm in stitched or 20mm in welded, in addition to the navy ones in 22mm.

Or try out a Red Bond for something different, available only in 18mm:

The 16mm NATO straps are great for American military watches and some British Air Ministry watches; the 18mm size fits most British military watches and standard size watches; the 20mm size is for Rolex Submariners, Sea-Dwellers, Speedmasters and many large watches especially chronos; and the 22mm size fits Seiko, Luminox, Citizen, Glycine and others.

The famous James Bond NATO 5 stripe straps in grey and black are the style made famous from the strap James Bond wore on his classic Rolex Submariner 6538! You will see the 5-stripe James Bond style pictured (three black stripes, two grey) has the famous weave now known as The James Bond.

I also have the 3-stripe "Skunk" Bonds (two black stripes, one grey) that many customers have tried out and really liked. The 3-stripe Bond has a softer weave than standard NATOs.

All sizes and styles listed in this ad are in stock and ready to ship!

Single straps are $16.95 plus $1 for USPS First Class shipping in U.S.; parcel of two costs $34 with U.S. shipping included. Buy three and the cost is $48 with U.S. shipping included.

PAYMENT: Quoting your order as Chronotrader, just paypal me at billmahoney@aol.com or pay securely online with any major credit card by going to www.paypal.com and paying to the account of billmahoney@aol.com. You can mail payment by check or money order. I accept paypal payments in $US, Euros and British pounds. By mail I accept checks, money orders, or cash in a registered letter with Euros, $US or pounds.

SHIPPING: I will alert you via email when the order ships from Arizona, which is usually the next day. If you would like faster shipping, there is an additional charge of $3.85 for the actual cost of USPS Priority service. International buyers email for shipping rates but for most places I can use USPS Global Priority Shipping and it will only cost you $5 and you will get the straps within 3-5 days, or I can send them via airmail for just $3.
