We have sold NATO Straps under product names including NATO for many years, but are removing NATO from our product names.
In the U.S., a company has registered the NATO trademark, and anyone cannot use the term "NATO Strap" without paying a trademark fee to that company.
Unauthorized use often results in product concealment, suspension or withholding of payment by lawyers and local courts, and a growing number of global brands are no longer labeling their products as NATO Strap.
If the product is only sold in Japan, this may not be a problem. However, if the product is available in the U.S., this problem cannot be avoided.
We cannot pay trademark usage fees to such companies.
We will continue to sell the NATO straps we have been selling as military straps from now on, although we may post them as NATO straps in advertisements and other media in Japan. Of course, they are the same products as before.
We look forward to your continued support and are sorry to be involved.
Selecting the Correct size Watchband
Rest assured, you have three options.
1. Check the back of the watchband. It may be marked or stamped accordingly.
This mark means 22mm rug width. ↓
2. Search “your watch model name + lug width.” You can find it on the manufacturer's or retailer's website.
3. Measure the inside dimensions of watch lugs in millimeters (mm). If you don’t have a metric ruler or mm gauge, download the free ruler smartphone app.
We recommend 1mm size down except for quick release straps. For example, choose the 20mm band if your watch has a 21mm lug width. In this case, don't use the free spring bars.
