Straps of watches come in gold, silver, steel, nylon and other variants but the nylon straps are the most preferred due to its versatility. The nylon straps which are also known by the name of Nato Straps are the most popular because they are hugely functional. If you trace back the straps were introduced in 1973 when the wrist watch and strap made its entry into the British Military services. in order to obtain one each soldier had to fill out a form named G10 which is the shorter version G1098. This G10 form enabled them to pick a strap when they go the unit’s store later.

Well, whatever may be the reason, the name Nato strap stuck as they were supplied to the NATO troops. A nylon strap made in Admiralty Grey was the only straps made and supplied to the military personnel at that time which measured 20mm of width and had buckle made out of brass and a keeper. The keeper kept the extra nylon strip secured thus maintaining the watch position intact on the wrist. The Nato Strap watches are still in use in the military and they had gone through little modifications. The only changes have been made to the strap’s width downsized to 18mm and has been given stainless steel hardware.
