I've had this strap for over a year and it's held up great on my beater. I've also taken it in the ocean, on vacation, and it dries up pretty quick. Good stuff.

The material has a metallic sheen which catches the light and varies in color depending on the angle you look at it. This is a truly nice looking strap and pairs well with distinctive or reflective dials, but also goes great with dials of any color - I've also tried this on my Speedmaster with great success. It's got a great feel - not quite as silky as the AlphaPremiere, but significantly smoother than the Knit Weave.

I simply love this band. It rejuvenated my Timex anniversary watch to a new level of appreciation. I look forward to putting this watch on regularly. The band is super! Can’t be happier.

I was looking for a good nylon strap to wear with my watch during the warmer months. Almost everything I saw in the market was either crazy expensive ($300+) or just hideous crap. This strap, however looks terrific and like it belongs on the watch. Thanks!

Black Alfa Shark 18mm took the place of a rotting half canvass and leather band on my citizen echo drive military style after about 6 yrs of use. Sharp look and there is no doubt this Alfa Shark will last even longer since it can handle getting wet! Great for the rough First Responder use!!

Insanely high quality strap. Fast shipping, great overall experience. Color is perfect for my SPB123. Will be buying more straps here soon.

A very high quality nylon weave (seatbelt), heavy duty buckle and hardware, nice shade of grey. These have become my go to NATO straps and I am not going back to the cheap nato's ever !!

This is all I expected a nato strap to be and more, it's comfortable, lightweight and feels durable as if it will last me years. Without a doubt not my last one!

Most impressed by fabric and brushed hardware. Both far superior to the regular NATO straps I’d been buying on Ebay. Well worth the additional expenditure- in this case only about $6 more than I’d beeen paying.

These straps are Great! The only straps that are better is the AlphaSharks that I got on my first order from BluShark. I can't wait to try the other collections! Thanks, Joe.

Looks good! I haven't yet received the new Slim straps, but for now I can say that Original BluShark Nato is the best - thin, strong, dense and looks good. Also, not too much of a shine on it, because some people don't prefer it. I like it, especially when it's brand new.

second time back to blushark impressed with the straps didn't think a new band would make so much difference,and best of all is the comfort only really bought them for looks but they are great comfort wise on the wrist

Love all three of my Orcas. Quality is second to none. I wish the length was a little longer as I could fold over and tuck in the excess strap, so I just cut off a few centimeters and melted the edge and now it's more of a single pass. Highly recommend.

Amazing quality, and I've tried almost all of them! I do snip off the flappy bit to reduce thickness on all my NATO straps. I've never had a watch that acted like it was going to slip off the strap if it didn't have the bottom part.

Great strap - fantastic quality! This was the first BluShark NATO I purchased. Since then, I've gotten 3 others. The picture really doesn't do the color justice - it's insanely saturated. I got the strap specifically to pair with my Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Military (pictured). The lune on the face and hands are a pale orange. Personally I think it's a great combination. Thanks, Joe!

BlueShark Alpha in army green on an Seiko SARB017 Alpinist. The Alpha series of straps are the finest quality available imo!
This one in army green has brushed premium hardware and
Is magnificent!

I went on a rampage and bought NATO and ZULU straps from 5 vendors. The alphashark was the highest in quality, fit and finish. It was a bit more expensive, but certainly worth the cost. Highly recommended.

Let me keep this simple. Having owned multiple brands of NATO straps I have been left less than pleased until now. BluShark is simply one of if not the best NATO I have owned for the money. Beautiful hardware, above expected quality, perfect length, amazing strap.......highly recommended, don't hesitate in picking some up.

Highly recommended, if you can't choose between this and Alpha, you can buy this without a doubt. It's thinner, it has better hole placement, and it still looks fantastic!
Hardware is top quality, buckle is same as those on Alphas.

Wow, I love this strap! It looks fantastic on an SKX007. I went polished hardware to dress it up but you can honestly go either way depending on if you want to dress it up or down. The strap is very comfortable to wear daily. It's built tough. And at this price point I think it's a steal for how nice it is. From the premium hardware to the Alpha strap, you can't go wrong buying one. I know I'll be buying more in the future.

Trying it on my new 'Japan' 777. Awesome as usual, though I still think you should make a mid range model with the nicer Alpha hardware and the regular material :)

This is what all NATO straps should be. Unfortunately that is not true and you get the poor quality from other when you pay less. Why not pay a little more and get one you really like and performs like you expect. Life is too short to smoke bad cigars or wear shoddy watch straps. Kevin Martin

The 22mm strap is excellent. The quality of the strap and the premium hardware are on point. Its really comfortable on the wrist and looks great on my seiko urchin.

Simply amazing quality strap - the color is rich and lustrous, the strap is soft and ready to wear - comfortable from the get-go with no breaking in needed. I usually wear my TAG Link Automatic Chronograph on the iconic Link steel bracelet, but when I feel like a change, I won't settle for anything less than one of these amazing AlphaShark straps. The Navy Blue complements the dial beautifully and the sheen on the strap catches the light with a rich intensity. Many NATO straps just look cheap (e...

This strap is a home run. The silver stripe down the side of the black band plays off the silver on my Seiko SRP777 perfectly. The hardware is incredibly nice and the watch with this strap could easily be worn with a suit or a pair of jeans and black boots. Great customer service from Joe as well. Thanks, Joe!

Its not about where you buy your natos from but rather from whom! BluShark nato straps combine superior quality materials with an amazing customer service provided by the owner, Joe. I have place an order for Blue, Admiralty Grey and Bond natos and honestly im in a huge dilemma now. I can’t choose which one to wear, they all look mesmerizing. Thank you, Joe, and BluShark for a great service and product. Very happy customer here. Vladimir

Seiko SKX009 on a Blu Steel strap. The quality is excellent and it wears comfortably. The color perfectly fits the blue dial. It reminds me of the sea and looks exactly like the strap Robert Redford wears in his famous film "All is lost". Cool.

Best NATO strap I have experienced. It has premium softness and shine. The hardware is top notch. It's the best of both worlds with the flexibility of a thin NATO and the sturdiness of a think Zulu, without looking too utilitarian.

I purchased my first BluShark Nato approx one month ago. I now own six BluShark straps in under a month… That should tell you all you need to know! - A bit excessive granted, but I adore my Omega SMP, it's likely to be my only luxury watch for the foreseeable future so it's nice to be able to give the watch a totally different look in seconds by swapping out the straps.
This is my first AlphaShark and the quality is exceptional. The polished buckle and quality of the strap itself is spot on....

Great rugged strap. It is hard to fold over the excess end of the strap back into the keeper. Other than that, excellent NATO that is a lot better than most other straps.

I purchased this 22mm Orca strap for my Seiko SKX, but I couldn't resist putting it on my Tag Heuer Monaco. I think that it works and I am REALLY liking it. I purchased six of these straps and I am going to purchase more; they are that good! They are high quality straps with the perfect compromise of thickness, stiffness, comfort, and durability. I got the premium brushed hardware with the high-end buckle and I love the quality. Amazing customer service too - BluShark is the real deal.

BluShark straps are excellent quality. But the alpha shark straps are something special... They look and feel nearly identical to the Omega Spectre strap except they r a fraction of the cost. The buckle and loops r impeccable quality. I will be buying more. Thank u Joe!

For a beefy strap that comes with beefy hardware, the extra length that normally occurs is not really there and I have small wrists. Other than that the quality is up there!

I purchased a few Blu Shark natos to replace some "cheaper" ones I bought that were falling apart. I was specifically looking for a good quality nato strap with excellent hardware. This cream coloured strap exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and I am very happy with it. It pairs well with the SKX007 pictured here and is very comfortable. Shipping was also much faster than expected (international too!), and customer service was great. I am looking forward to purchasing more of these str...

It is immediately obvious upon opening a Shark Strap that you have invested your money in something of a superior caliber. The hardware is top quality—right down to the tiny insignia on the buckle—and the nylon is tough, yet soft and comfy. The classic SKX007 looks right at home on a Scarlet Knight. I couldn't be happier.

The AlphaShark is very nice, but I prefer this Original BluShark. I'm a light blue collar guy so this fits my style a little better. Shipping was quick and I was pleased with all the straps. When buying NATO straps in the future, it will be from here.

Great quality and customer service, as always. That is the reason I have 15 BluShark straps now and plan to buy some more in future.
The only slight issue with this particular strap is that it has a larger gap between holes, same as on Alphas. Must have been old batch.
