Benchmark Basics Leather Watch Band - Zulu Crazy Horse Oiled Leather One-Piece Military Watch Strap - Choice of Color & Width - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm

By being thin enough to fit under the watch pins, a leather NATO style band is somewhat compromised by the fact that it must be strong enough to withstand pressure. Leather is no match for nylon in terms of strength. While this leather is stylish and supple, I realize that it is not going to Before installing the pins, I covered the whole piece in baby oil and let it sit for a few hours. After installing it, I wiped it down again to eliminate "scratching" while With an 8, I'm doing well. This bracelet is perfect for my 25" wrist, although I wish it were a bit longer. You can trim it to make it shorter if that is what you prefer.

I like this leather NATO for its comfort and style. It is a Hamilton Khaki Field Officer's Mechanical 40mm that I wear every day. One of my favorite types of bands is leather straps as well as nylon NATOs. These two interests have always been intertwined in my head. A leather NATO bag that I picked up made me very happy. The band is supple, comfortable and fits my almost 8" wrist with room to spare. Also, it looks good and is durable. This is a watch that really looks good next to a field watch or dive Although it is thin, it is of good quality. You can buy this for a really low price, so I'm not sure how long it will last. In my opinion, it should be thrown away. After six months, I'll buy another one if it seems to be wearing out. It is a good book overall!.

Leather NATO straps are a thing I had no idea existed, and I am glad I decided to investigate. It is a lovely daily use accessory for fans of understated military style, even though it might not meet the original design spec for a hard wearing and exposure tolerant watch band. Matte surfaces have a dark, menacing quality in black, which is especially apparent It has the appearance of a signal- So to speak, we are flying under the radar. Regardless of the timepiece's color or grain, this will make it stand out and shine. While the leather has a smooth feel, it doesn't feel overly rubbery like silicone straps. In fact, since the inside of the strap has a light nap, it is rather soft to wear. Even though I am wearing a modestly sized 38mm B&M watch, I am not experiencing any discomfort on my wrist. There's a possibility that the wider versions could easily hold the beefy arm clocks that some people prefer. The contrast stitching could've been a little straighter, but was without loose ends and the hardware didn't have anything stuck to it. Adding some style to your utility design is a great value.

The stainless rings blend well with the stainless case. I thought the leather would be thicker, but it is thinner than Whether it will hold up over the long run remains to be seen. At first, I was happy with it.

Now that I've been using it for a few weeks, I'd like to share some thoughts on it. This NATO band was very easy to install (standard NATO band), comfortable to wear, and did not irritate my skin at all. Despite having a rugged look, my watch is still somewhat dressier and more fashionable than products made of artificial materials. My watch band really brings out the rugged look of my watch. I was surprised that the band is aging more quickly than I had expected. feel this is partly due to the soft untreated leather used, which is responsible for its comfort, but it is also aging gracefully, making my watch look better as it ages. It should be noted that if you own more than one watch with the same color band, you can attach this band to more than one watch with minimal effort! Also, NATO bands offer distinct advantages over The advantages of these are 1) they are very easy 2) They may be worn over your sleeve with ease (if your profession or passion encourages it). 1) NATO bands actually offer additional protection for your watch (against accidental loss) because both pins of the band must be removed before your watch is dislodged from your wrist.

Great product for the price. Other people who may be interested in a comfortable experience should check out this product.

The band I received was nice, and I intended to pair it with my Hamilton Khaki King watch, as the band Hamilton provides is a bit small. However, when I took the band out of its package, I took note of a strong petroleum smell. My surprise was that I expected to smell leather, but I still tried it. Wearing it around to see how long it would take the smell to go away was a good test. In spite of this, the smell persisted. I changed the band for a nylon NATO band after a couple of days and let it sit, hoping it would eliminate the smell. It was as though somehow the smell was roaming the area like a malignant ghost whenever I came close to it. In a last ditch effort, I have decided to hang it from my back door screen and hope a few days in the open air will clear it up. I like the look of the band otherwise, but that is to be expected since otherwise it looks quite nice. Is the.

An average dress watch is probably not the best choice. Another watch I reviewed on Amazon is the LG Optimus G Pro I liked the watch, but the strap was a little bit stiff and thick. Because it's a ZULU strap (I'm not sure what the difference is between a NATO and a ZULU, but I think it's one of those) it has to be thin, and it must also be The only caveat, and it's not a big drawback, is that the leather looks a bit rough, As it ages, I anticipate it will develop a distressed look, but this could be a plus, especially for a sport watch or a casual watch. I was able to use it with no problems and adjust its length with ease. It has ten holes so I was easily able to adjust it to my relatively small wrist. That's what I like about.
