Re: NATO Strap

In Response To: NATO Strap ()

: Hi gents!

: May be a dumb question, but what purpose does
: the NATO strap serve? It looks cool enough,
: but what is their function?

: Thanks,
: BHeth

I could be wrong, but I thought that the NATO strap was primarily designed to be used on watches with soldered bars between the lugs (i.e. Military Issue wristwatches)as opposed to normal spring bars. I can only assume that soldered bars would be stronger than spring bars on the lugs of a watch. If that is the case, then the only strap you can fit to a watch with soldered bars is one that threads through the gap between the bar and the watch case. Hence the development of the NATO strap.
Once again, this is just an assumption on my part and I could be way off.
