I was thinking of looking for a NATO for my Panerai, for more casual days, for extra comfortability. I've not been able to find many photos of Panerai's on NATO's, so if you've got one, post it up!

No photos with me, but I wear a Zulu strap with my Panerais more than 50% of the time. www.broadarrow.net makes some great one and two peice 24mm Zulu straps. I have black and desert tan. Also sometimes put on a 22mm Olive Drab Zulu, looks good also. The Zulu straps are good looking, inexpensive, comfortable, and will survive any environment. THey give a Panerai watch a real military tool look. Sitting here typing with a Desert tan Zulu on my 233 strapped to my wrist.

leopardprey, those are some great NATO straps. I am interested in getting a pair but I don't see any two piece 24mm NATO straps. Do I have to make a special order from them? Also, would the 24mm fit perfectly on a PAM? Since these are not specifically made for PAM I am wondering whether it will run a little larger or smaller.

The advantage with the Zulu straps are that,no matter the colour,its going to look great on a ss Luminor,black or white dial.Black,navy blue,maroon,red,tan etc.Anything will go.A NATO James Bond will also look nice !! Not really my style(I prefer leather) but a nice alternative in bands for a PAM

Two piece Zulu straps are about half way down the page. Availiable in 18mm to 24mm.

24mm straps were initially produced specifically for Panerai watches. They fit perfect on a Panerai.

Thanks leopardprey. btw, when u use a 22mm strap would the strap slide given it isn't a perfect fit?

leopardprey · 16 August 2008, 09:57 PM

No, the 22mm stays in place just fine. Gives a different look to the watch, makes it look a little bigger. And just a small portion of the lugs shows.

Well if anyone has their Panerai on anything that's like a Nato, please post them up.
