time+ Ballistic Nylon Military Watch Strap Bond - Polished

We have sold NATO Straps under product names including NATO for many years, but are removing NATO from our product names.

A company in the U.S. has trademarked NATO

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.

Our Decision

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

Don't you know which size to select?

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.

19mm, 21mm, 23mm rug width. What should I do?

Our shop have begun selling some straps in 19mm and 21mm sizes.

We recommend going down one size for another one-piece military strap. For example, choose a 20 mm strap if your watch has a 21 mm lug width. In this case, do not use the free spring bars.

The two-piece quick-release band can only be fitted with the sizes shown.

With drilled lug holes,

1. Press the pointed pin tip of the spring bar tool on the hole.
2. Move your band.

No drilled lug holes,

1. Place the forked end of the spring bar.
2. Locate the ridged shoulder and compress the spring bar.
3. Move your band.

Install Strap

Install spring bars.

1. Insert the long end of the watch band into the top lug of your watch.

2. Loop the watch band through the bottom lug.
