SKU Code: NATO/RB/DES18-2

Ribbed nylon straps are one of the latest innovations in NATO-straps. We first introduced these after a production run for one of our dealers. When we offered a limited number of overrun straps, they quickly became a customer favorite. Due to their popularity, we have expanded the range to include more colors and sizes.

Now available in 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, and 24mm, these straps are an excellent choice if you love the durability and practicality of NATO straps but want something with a slightly different look and feel. Like standard NATO straps, they feature top-quality stainless steel fasteners for durability and reliability.

Specifications

  • Length: 280mm
  • Buckle: Solid 316L Stainless Steel

History and Evolution

The history of the NATO strap began over 50 years ago with a single grey strap. It initially expanded to include colors such as RAF Blue, Black, Navy Blue, the James Bond pattern, and Olive Green. Since then, we have developed an extensive range of variants in regimental colors, Search and Rescue (SAR) orange, national colors, police unit colors, and various camouflage options for specific situations. These straps are frequently used by military units outside the UK and are popular among serving military personnel for a wide variety of military watches.

Extensive Range

Currently, we manufacture nearly 200 different variants in a wide array of colors and sizes from 18mm to 24mm. These straps are available for retail and wholesale customers, and we also offer custom regimental straps. Many of these straps are sold in large quantities through various procurement contracts.

Specifications and Standards

The original specification for the NATO strap was established by the UK Ministry of Defence as Defence Standard 66-47 Issue 2, published on March 30, 2001. Previous specifications included Def Stan 66-47 Issue 1 (November 13, 1992), Def Stan 66-15 (Part 1) Issue 1 (November 30, 1973), and Def Stan 66-15 (Part 2) Issue 1 (January 31, 1974). The current specification data sheet can be downloaded here. Although minor adjustments have been made, the design remains largely consistent, with most bulk contracts requiring stitching around the buckles.

Versatility and Durability

For over forty years, we have supplied these straps to a diverse range of clients, including military personnel, police, emergency services, exploration units, Search and Rescue teams, oil and gas companies, marine salvage and exploration businesses, and organizations operating in tropical or desert locations. The NATO strap's easy maintenance, quick drying time, and resistance to rot and deterioration make it superior to leather or silicone alternatives.

Compatibility

NATO straps are compatible with watches from all leading military contractors, both past and present, such as Marathon, CWC, Citizen, and Pulsar. They are also ideal for robust civilian watches from brands like Seiko, Rolex, and Breitling.

In summary, the NATO strap's unmatched durability, versatility, and secure design make it the preferred choice for a wide range of professional and personal applications.

A great tool for learning at home
Format: Paperback
This was a wonderful book to help get my little one ready for 1st grade. The activities were grade appropriate, the colors and pictures were lovely and it was easy to jump around so the book didn't become too much of a chore. It had definitely made a difference in how prepared my kid was going from the hecticness of kinder into a proper classroom setting.

Perfect Summer Activity Book for First Grade Prep
Format: Paperback
Got this to keep my little guy learning over the summer, and it’s been a win. We do about 20 minutes a day, and he actually looks forward to it — which says a lot! The activities are the perfect mix of fun and educational, covering reading, math, handwriting, and little logic puzzles that make him feel like a pro. It keeps his brain engaged without overwhelming him, and I love that it feels like a confidence booster instead of a chore. Great for quiet time, car rides, or a productive break between play. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to sneak in a little learning before first grade kicks off.

Keeps Their Minds Sharp
Format: Paperback
Got this for my daughter to give her pages to do for homework each day during the last month of summer. She likes doing school work to begin with but it took me by surprise when she would take it upon herself to keep completing page after page by herself. She really likes this workbook. The instructions on each page are clear and easily understood for her. Perfect for the age group and grade.
