I'm not sure how measured it is. It's a thick, solid material. Just keep in mind that it's cut far too short, with only four holes and no additional strap. It's impossible to wear this over a wetsuit. It's not even close to being a genuine Zulu strap.
It's nylon, not elastic, so it's not as flexible as it sounds.
Thank you for your inquiry. The 18mm and 20mm are both 265mm in length. The 22mm and 24mm are both 280mm in length.
The keepers are in place on all of my NATO straps.

NATO straps are straps that are used by the military. They're supposed to be extra long so that they can be worn over bulky clothing. For example, over a flight suit or a wet suit. When the entire length of the strap is not being used, the keeper rings on the top of the strap are used to contain the excess strap material. Threading the extra length of strap through the keeper rings, folding it, and tucking the excess under itself is how you do it. A NATO strap works in the same way. Although this item is referred to as a NATO strap, it is not overly long. The strap is just long enough to pass through both of the keeper rings. Because there is no extra length to fold and tuck, this strap functions as a standard webbed NATO strap. hardware in a vintage style Because it has the appearance of a NATO strap but does not perform any of the functions of a NATO strap, it is not recommended for use. It would be more accurate to refer to the strap as a "NATO-approved" strap. "style Strap" or something along those lines.
Having said all that, I thought that this belt should be longer as it wears easily as the belt tips stick out just enough to snap right at the turn of the page while I fold it into the first loop for a while.
They were described as being a longer version in the description. They're too short for my standard (male) wrist size, so I have to use the third from last hole, which only allows a small portion of my wrist to fit in the keeper and forces the buckle to the side of my wrist. However, the size is normal.
The strap (orange) after only seven days of light exposure is shown in the photos. wear for duty The holes frayed quickly, and the strap's end is showing signs of wear as well. By way of contrast, the blue-eyed A similar-priced entry-level option was gray strap. a Crown leveling strap I've had this buckle for over a year and it's been through a lot of punishment. The fact that the C gets so little use is a bit of a joke. The B strap is visible, as opposed to the Benchmark strap, which is deteriorating. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! br>br>Also, as many have pointed out, the length is rather short; I have a 7" wrist and barely had enough tail to tuck into the keeper, if that's important to you.
I put it on my Invicta 8926OB Pro Diver watch and it fits perfectly. It has the same appearance as the Bond watch. The strap appears to be reasonably thick and well-made, with no signs of fraying. It's a good thing the spring bar tool came with it. The strap is a little long, so I'll probably cut it using the 2 nickel method, but it tucks back in nicely for now. Excellent purchase; I strongly suggest it.
Leather and plastic watch bands do not appeal to me. Velcro wrap bands have always been my favorite. However, I needed to replace an old one and was unable to find one that I liked. I chose the gray Benchmark. I'm very pleased with the and-black band. There are NATO-affiliated organizations that are less expensive. However, this strap is well-made, and the pin tool is helpful. I chose a less-expensive option for my meal. Another band in a different color is more expensive, but the metal clasp and guides aren't as strong as the Benchmark. Note: Make sure to keep track of the pins' distance.
On some of my watches, I love NATO/Zulu nylon straps, but I always have to cut the "extra" strap off because it causes the watch to slip off my wrist. A razor blade and lighter take care of that. This strap was no exception, but after I fixed the problem, it's been fantastic. I originally purchased it as a dive watch, but it now serves as a companion piece to a black/black chronograph.
The watch in question is a Soviet Vostok Amfibia KGB model, and this band was ordered to replace a leather band on it. The band is well-made and comfortable to wear. One of the things I like about NATO/Zulu bands is that they reduce the amount of wear on the underside of the watch over time, which is why I recommend them for all watches except dress watches.
