Kick ass on the SKX!! I love this strap. Has a very "rich" looking weave--ridged and refined. Weave is super tight and strong with a mild sheen that says "I'm quality." Robust. You can't go wrong polished or brushed. Companies like this are rare.

The Rayburn is one of my favorite nato straps for the Sinn 104a. I have ALOT to chose from. I have at least 30 from Joe. The upgraded hardware sets it apart from other nato straps.

Here are the new straps attached to the Seiko SKX007 and the Sinn 103 a Sa b. Been receiving a lot of compliments on the straps. Great product and customer service. Look forward to more Joe.

Love this strap. I chose the brushed version for this one. The hardware is solid and the strap itself is made of good quality materials. This strap is sturdy, yet still pliable so it sits on the wrist comfortably, but it's not flimsy like some other straps you can buy. Would definitely buy again. Get some more styles guys! ; )

I bought this and a couple more traditional colored orca straps. I like this one because it reminds me of the Freestyle Shark watch band colors of my youth. Something fun and different:)

The Cherry red on a 009j. As with all the other Blusharks I purchased for this watch, it looks and feels great. Absolutely apples to oranges on any other strap out there. Hardware, fit and finish is excellent.

Ron C.

One word would probably suffice? But I will attempt to offer a few more. First off, let me start by saying that the packaging my British Khaki AlphaShark arrived in, less 3 days after I ordered it, was a beautiful ocean blue package that proudly said "BluShark" right on the face of the box. Very cool. Then, upon opening that box, I discovered another unexpected bonus. A snow white cleaning cloth, emblazoned in blue lettering, with the BluShark name on it. Super cool! Now for the nylon strap ...

Blusharks make a great NATO! I'm addicted to these straps. The caramel provides a more vintage appeal - love this look with the black dial. The Orca Line is comfy and tough - a nice solid appeal to it.

Straps are fantastic. The extra slimness really helps the watch hug your wrist and is surprisingly more comfortable. Attached pic is a comparison photo for reference. From left to right: 20mm AlphaShark (Bond), 22mm AlphaShark Slim (Bond), 20mm AlphaShark Slim Black. Notice the different holes, tighter weave, and slightly more compact hardware. I love the new AlphaShark Slim. I hope that this collection grows to offer all the options in the regular AlphaShark line.

I now own 6 Blue Shark Natos and I love all of them. The quality is top notch. I love this vintage Bond on my Citizen Eco-Drive Aviator GMT. It gives the watch a very cool look. Fits perfect looks great!

Great fit and finish, high quality hardware, fast shipping. This is the 5th strap I've purchased now and couldn't be happier. Have yet to find another NATO at this price point with nicer features than this one.

Patrick D.

Based on reviews of others I tried this strap (22mm Alphashark Bond). I could not have been more pleased. I have a tendency to wear out straps due to refusing to take off a watch and the strap goes through the elements on a daily basis. I have noticed the hole I prefer to use slightly stretching after my watch was snagged multiple times. This is not something that I say in disappointment, it is very slight and considerably less than previous straps. I have since began purchasing additional ...

Love this strap!!! Looks great on my 300SMP and couldn't fault the quality. Great to know the proceeds are going towards such a good cause as well. Another great quality strap in the collection!

Blushark straps are hands down the best NATO's on the market. Once I found them and ordered a few to try I was blown away. I own dozens of them now. Joe is a great guy and always provides the highest level of customer service. Blushark simply can't be beat!

I've already ordered 6 (yes, six) straps from Blushark. I was disappointed by the AlphaShark straps (they were too thick and were fraying horribly while being worn with care). But these basic Blushark straps are simply superb. Same great colors, but thinner and much more comfortable.

I did my research and bought three straps. Right before I received them I put on an Omega nato strap but I like the feel of the BluSharks better. I'm gonna end up buying more of these too.

Read a review online, ordered a few and have to say I am thoroughly impressed. Fit and finish are above most non-bespoke NATOs/Zulus I have owned, and even better than some costing a hundred more. Looking forward to more colors/hardware styles.

Kaeng C.

The moment I saw this NATO variant, I knew it's was destined for my SKX009. As usual, the Alphashark range doesn't disappoint! It's slightly thinner than the usual Alphashark nylon but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It's more supple and slightly more comfortable than the normal Alpha's. Blushark NATO's make up most of my NATO collection for a good reason, 'cause they're currently the best out there! Keep up the great work Blushark team. Thumbs up again!

Joe M.

This is the third Kwik Change strap I have purchased from BluShark and by far my favorite. The fit and finish are incredible and it is very comfortable right out of the box. My grey and navy Kwik Change straps were more rigid than the Army Green. Best way to describe the feel of a Kwik Change is like that of a well-fitted metal bracelet. Army Green is by far my favorite of the bunch. Thank you.

This was my 1st ever NATO purchase and there's simply no reason to go with any other option. Customer service was top notch and the straps are excellent quality. Lifetime warranty on top of all that gives you peace of mind. What's not to like?

I'm now officially a BluShark aficionado. I've had a ton of NATO straps over the years and was not expecting anything remarkable when I ordered a few, but the quality is exceptional all around. Great fabric, great hardware, great stitching, and the square heat-sealed holes are nothing short of brilliant, solving the Achilles' heel of most NATO straps, the holes wearing and stretching. I won't be buying NATOs from anyone else going forward, period.

Philip M.

Great quality strap, much nicer than OEM NATO version I saw for $200 at the AD. I much prefer this look over the steel bracelet that came with the watch. I now have it in several colors, making it fun to mix with different outfits. Size is perfect!!!

Julius D.

BluShark are highly recommend and they didn’t fail to deliver. High quality NATO strap, expertly finished, and wears extremely comfortably, including in the tropical heat. Prompt international shipping, with great customer service and as many have said, Joe is a pleasure to deal with. My only criticism is that I’m now unlikely to put the stainless steel bracelet back on my Omega any time soon, especially after I purchase three other straps.

Blushark NATO strap is handsdown the one of the best if not the best in making NATO strap. Sure its not an Omega quality strap but its also not an Omega price tag. its sturdy and comfy on my wrist.

Nick J.

Joe at BluShark was a pleasure to deal with. The quality of this strap and the hardware is exceptional and this is by far the best quality nato I've ever owned. You won't be disappointed! I have a bad feeling that buying different coloured nato's from BluShark is going to become a new obsession of mine! Superb product, great customer service and I'm looking forward to seeing some new colours and styles in the future.

Ron N.

Great strap. Has a soft sheen to it and the material texture feels fantastic. Chose to get this over the OEM Omega Strap because its 90% of the looks at 1/8th the price. Hardware and weaving of the band is a substantial step up over the standard shark straps.

Tom W.

This strap looks great! I have it on my Citizen Skyhawk A-T and I think it really compliments the watch. I have several BluShark straps and the difference between the original line and the Alpha line is pretty substantial. However, the original line is really nice as well.

Nikola R.

Feels premium due to robust hardware, it is thick but comfortable. The square holes give it an extra touch and the pattern is really cool and different from all the other NATO straps out there. Excellent quality and comfort and I love it on my Seiko Monster, bigger hardware suits it well.

Very comfortable and of high quality. The brushed buckle makes it look classy and adds to the charm of the watch itself. I love Blushark and will order again soon.

Great quality strap with speedy delivery and service. The strap is extremely soft, bulk free, and the hardware is equally impressive. Only area I see that could be improved for the future is the packaging of the strap for shipping, beyond a plastic sleeve.

Orca Caramel 22mm on the Seiko Prospex SRP775. The color looks awesome with the gold in play on the watch and gives it a nice counterbalance with some additional color compared to the bracelet. Also cuts the weight of the piece nearly in half! Brushed hardware also plays well with the same finish on the cushion case. This arrived overnight (unexpected) and made my day. Ready to wear for the weekend!

Beautiful colour and texture. The quality and stiffness are amazing, yet it's silky to the touch and pliable to hug the wrist perfectly. My watch stays exactly center on my wrist no matter how I shake it.

These straps are turning me into a nato guy. I've had a few leather nato's but wanted something that handles sweat better while hiking or hitting the beach. These fit the bill and are better looking in person than I expected. The quality, fit and finish are really incredible. I first purchased an Orca Grey Bond, tried it out for over a month, really liked it and came back for the buy 2 get one free deal. Really enjoying switching them up with my different watches and of course there are sev...

I love how everyone has such nice wrists, allowing for a classic NATO tuck...well large twisted customers, this is probably the only NATO strap out there you will be able to buckle. Those of us with 9” plus wrists will never see the full look of the tuck unless a 2” longer version is offered, and yes, John, I would pay a premium for that to Blushark! This is by far the best quality strap you can buy and the price is absolutely worth it given the materials, hardware and fit. The best out there...

Sam S.

I love these straps! Just what I was looking for, more refined than my DaLuca straps, softer and more supple. Looks insane on my new Sinn U1000. I love the quality of the nylon which gives a perfect balance between sheen and saturation of color, easy to dress up or down. My favorite of the Blu Shark Alphas has to be the retro Bond as the color palate works brilliantly on my collection of Sinn Divers. Blue Shark: please make some straps that pay homage to a nation's flag or something world famou...

Daniel R.

This was my first Orca from BluShark. It's a great strap! The quality is fantastic. The stitching gives it a more tactical feel. It does a slight sheen to it. It's not entirely matte. The sheen is slightly above the original line and below the alpha line. The chocolate color is great when you want to go dark but not all the way to black. And the thicker strap and weave gives a heavier watch like a chrono a more stable feel.

Blusharks make a great NATO! I'm addicted to these straps. The Blu-Steel is a unique shade, combined with the quality hardware it an attention grabbing bit of kit. Comfy, functional, neat and clean - you can't go wrong.

Marco S.

This is an excellent premium strap. The good: the material is perfect. Thick, substantial weave. Not as slick and smooth as some others (in a good way). No ridges poking into your wrist and the square holes are a nice touch. The hardware is amazing. I like the brushed finish in particular. It's chunky and smooth, very comfortable and the buckle sits flush with your wrist (again, no poking). The bad: The thickness makes that your watch may sit a little high for your taste, and fitting might be ...

This was my first batch of blu shark NATOs and I'm really impressed. These are a step above all other straps of this kind I've used. Hardware is great and well made and all holes and ends are sealed. Just a great look, quality, tough strap. Will be buying more and they have breathed some new life into some pieces.
