SKU Code: NATO18MM/RED

This classic NATO watchband is made from fast-drying ballistic nylon webbing, a high-tech material that is robust, comfortable, and long-lasting, making it ideally suited for military watch straps. The design characteristics of these straps reduce the risk of losing a watch to virtually zero, as the watch is held securely at two different points, making it virtually impossible for it to come off the wrist, even during extreme activities.

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, however some bulk procurement contracts specify stitching around the buckles, others opt for the traditional heat sealed process but both have their advantages and drawbacks and in terms of day-to-day use and general functionality both processes work equally well.

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.

Great plot, steamy goodness, and absolute heartbreak, what more could you want?
Format: Paperback
“I’d already concluded a long time ago that I would never love someone the way I’d loved Wren—the way I still loved her. Because it didn’t matter if it had been ten days or ten years. A love like that ruined you for all others.” Suspenseful, Heartbreaking and Surprising! I have only read one other Catherine Cowles book; Tattered Stars and I loved it just as much as I love Whispers of You. The thing I love about this book (and the other) is also my one complaint. She has found the magic potion for a perfect romantic suspense. And maybe I wouldn't be saying this, if I had finished the other series, before starting this. I also know my opinion is so limited having only read two out of her incredibly extensive backlist. BUT the two I have read, feel very similar to each other, So much so that I look back now, a week after reading Whispers of You and I am getting them confused in my head. Thats not to say I didn't LOVE both books, because I absolutely did. This just felt like a plug and play equation to perfection with changing the details around. That being said this book grabs you from the prologue and doesn't give your heart a break until the very end. Holt and Wrens story is heartbreaking, I do wish we would have gotten a glimpse of the good before the bad, more often through the book to further the draw between them. But that's not because I feel like its lacking, its more that I loved the love these two had for each other and I would have enjoyed seeing it before either of them suffered through the tainted lenses of loss and fear. I loved the side characters and as the story progressed, I began to wonder who the culprit was, I did have one right but was dead nuts wrong on the other so both my mind was blown, and my heart was broken at the same time when I found out. Catherine Cowles keeps your heart in a vice the entire story and I love her for that. I am new to romantic suspense but am prone to panic attacks (HA) so, I find that her writing is just enough and not too much for me to read without sending me in to a tizzy. Overall though I do love this book, and I look forward to Echos of you and the second one in Tattered and Torn series, I just think I might finish that series before I keep going so, I can keep them straight.

Stunning Second Chance Romance
Format: Paperback
Well, I truly began my February reading in the best way with this book. I was so excited to read it after absolutely loving the Tattered and Torn series and it DELIVERED my friends. It has all of the emotions, all of the beauty, all of the suspense I’ve come to adore in Catherine’s books turned up even just a little more. Dare I say she even turned up the spice a bit?? Phew with the heat between these two! Along with the suspense element we get served small town, an over protective hero, and the most heart melting of second chance romances. Right from the prologue this book is off and running, I was not prepared for it. You meet Wren and hear about her gorgeous love for Holt. An absolutely horrific event occurs though that we learn sends him running for 10 years, and makes her a ghost of her former self after losing him. Neither of them, especially Holt, handled the aftermath well. It made me love them more though to see the growth they go through when he comes back and they reforge their intense, soul deep connection. Both of them face a whole lot of demons. I also love that even though it was completely awful for them both to be apart, Holt leaving forces Wren to become independent and stand on her own. So their second time around, it’s an even stronger, more equal relationship. If you follow my feed closely, you also know that I am always gone for a found family dynamic, and we have that here in spades with the way the Hartleys watch out for Wren. Her relationship with Holt’s parents and siblings is just gorgeous. The way Holt heals his relationship with them all is wonderful too. I’m already deeply in love with Nash and cannot WAIT for his book next. Yes to a new family saga series, please and thank you!!! I can’t recommend this one enough.

Definitely reading more by this author!!!
Format: Paperback
I really enjoyed this book! I absolutely love Holt and Wren. I loved watching them come back together and admit their feelings for each other. What I loved most was the mystery and suspension all throughout this book! It had me hooked from the very beginning, and just when I thought I knew who the culprit was, it was twisted to someone I never expected! I’ll definitely be reading more by this author 🫶🏻
