How Many Have A Designated NATO Watch
Hello TRF Members
How many of you have that one vintage sports diver that is the designated "NATO watch"? Mine is a my head only Tudor Snowflake 94010. I have a few nice pieces, but I will admit that my "NATO watch" gets a lot of wrist time...mainly because periodically changing the look prevents me from getting tired of it. Today I was about to put it back in the watch box and pull out my other watches but I saw the bag of NATOs and made a quick swap and put it back on my wrist:) I wore this watch to the new avengers movie but was using a comic book NATO strap. After the movie I swapped to a black nylon NATO and today I am using a classier canvas NATO. I look fwd to your posts! |

My sub is often on NATO but I do mix it up occasionally with leather or the original oyster. My designated NATO only watch is my Seiko Monster...never even sized the bracelet!
And because every thread needs pictures: |

Well, since this has welded bars and will only accept a NATO/Zulu......I guess you could say it is a designated NATO watch.
(But yes....I do have a couple that I only wear on NATOs)

My Tudor Ranger is NATO only for now...until I saw Adam's bund strap find in Germany. I had to order one so it will not be NATO only for long.

BBN is definitely a designated nato watch for me. Love it on fabric.. much more than leather or the bracelet.

Never tried nato. I fear it's not me and prefer leather.

Some of the NATO time is on leather

Would be rude not to :
I have a few of the original UK MOD spec straps, which are a couple of mm narrower than we would now think to be the correct width for the lugs. Haywood

Epic Milsub, Milton.
When I first got my 5513, I had it on a NATO for a few weeks. On reflection, I thought "this is just a wannabe Milsub", and humbly put the Oyster back on. One day, though... |

Great thread!
I like to keep my 16570 on a nato and my 16600 on the bracelet. I've been wearing the 16570 far more than the Dweller lately. Loooooove the Nato's! |
