Question 1

What is a men's NATO strap watch?

Accepted Answer

It is a watch worn on a NATO strap: a single-piece nylon band that passes under the case. It differs from a two-piece fabric strap, which is fitted like a leather strap. The photos on each product sheet show the original fitting.

Question 2

Can you go swimming with a fabric strap watch?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the case, not the strap. At 10 ATM, swimming pools and the sea are possible; at 5 ATM, only occasional showering; at 3 ATM, rain. After swimming in the sea, rinse the strap in fresh water and let it dry.

Question 3

How do you wash a nylon strap?

Accepted Answer

Remove it from the watch, wash it by hand in lukewarm water with a little soap, rinse, then dry it flat, away from a radiator. Avoid the washing machine, which can damage the metal buckles.

Question 4

Can you replace a fabric strap with leather?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided the width matches. Most of our models have a lug width of 22 mm, a very common size in both leather and silicone. Spring bars are removed with a small tool, or by a watchmaker.

Question 5

Why choose men's fabric strap watches?

Accepted Answer

For their lightness, their comfort in warm weather and their ease of care. Fabric also gives a classic watch a more relaxed, sporty or nautical style, and it can be changed in an instant to vary the colours.
