Best place for high end NATOs?

[W44NNE]

I know Gnomon do these, and of course Omega too, but are there any reasonably priced places in the UK to purchase similar quality NATOs in a good range of colours? I think they’re made of Polyamide... basically feel similar to a car seatbelt.

Thanks

Not in the UK but these used to get good reviews

Not sure if he's saying he cant do 20mm anymore or just a short delay.

I wonder if some of those are the same as sold by Watchgecko? Thinking of the simple striped ones (black with just the outer edge coloured). Look to have the same weave and colour combos. If yes, then those are indeed pretty soft and silky feeling, though not quite seatbelt feel.

Edit: reading the blurb on TF, I'd be surprised if they were the same given that info, so perhaps not.

Also try ToxicNATOs I have a few they are great quality. I have the Toxic ShizNit N80.

They come from the US but mine arrived in a week.

But of couse, as Timefactors is owned and run by our forum host, I thunk that remains the first stop for any TZ-UK shoppers..........

Was in touch with him recently about 20mm and he said he was temporarily out, won’t be able to supply them until April / May

As has been said, Timefactors, best quality for best value.
Haveston make some really comfortable designs too, with a unique moving keeper so that you don't always have to fold back or under the end tail.

with a unique moving keeper

Isn't that also a feature of Omega's NATOs?

The Swiss luxury natos from watch gecko also have the floating keeper, the hardware on these straps is top notch. I've just ordered a new strap from Haglunds who have just brought out a premium range, so I'm keen to give one a try. Phenonato as others have mentioned are great straps, very soft material but no new stock until May. There is also a US based company called Blushark that do premium Natos and do free international shipping but I'm yet to try one.

Watch gecko does one at 24 quid, Zulu diver they come with what looks like a really high quality brushed buckle

Have you tried Haveston? http://haveston.com/shop.html

I find these more comfortable than a regular Nato.

Haveston, watchgecko (although the stupid label they insist on sewing in is a pita), blu shark, toxic.

Just looked at Haveston site, think I might Haveston get a couple of them.

Thanks for that.

^^^ No problem. Here's a couple more:

Thanks for all the recommendations. I was looking for a single colour deep blue or brown to suit the watch I have in mind, but so far, only Gnomon appear to have a nice enough blue, and nowhere does brown other than Omega by the looks of it. I'll keep searching.

TF closed again this week (at least it is as of now). I know Eddie has higher priorities, but have I missed any info on when he might be re-opening after the PRS-18 backlog has been cleared? Really fancy a navy deluxe NATO in 22mm, as think it'll work well with a couple of my current favourites.

I would expect that once the backlog of PRS-18 orders is cleared then he will open the following Tuesday as normal, circumstances permitting of course.

Never heard of those before - think I'm in love ...

Ordered the Fortress strap (which they conveniently demo on a Speedmaster - so that's one questions answered), rest out of stock but I'll be checking back - the carrier strap looks a cert for my 2531 Seamaster and can my 14060 on another.
