Collection: Elastic NATO Watch Straps

The Thrifty Gentleman offers a distinctive collection of Elastic NATO watch straps that combine classic military-watch styling with the comfort and flexibility of elasticated nylon.

Taking inspiration from traditional NATO watch straps and the elastic webbing associated with 1960s and 1970s French Marine Nationale watch straps, these bands offer a softer, more adaptable alternative to conventional G10 nylon.

The stretch construction helps the strap conform comfortably to your wrist while maintaining the secure, purposeful character that makes military-style watch bands so popular.

Available in a variety of colours and designs, an elasticated NATO strap is an excellent choice for field watches, dive watches, military-inspired timepieces and everyday wear.

Comfort is where these straps really come into their own. The flexible nylon construction makes an Elastic NATO watch band ideal for all-day wear, while its adjustable fit can accommodate subtle changes in wrist size throughout the day. They’re also an easy way to give an existing watch a completely different character without spending a fortune on a new timepiece.
