My go-to strap! Solid design, solid hardware, feels good on the wrist. It’s thicker than other NATOs I’ve worn, which adds a bit of height to the watch but not enough to bother me. Overall a great strap and worth the price!

AlphaPremier Bond 2021 NTTD on my Luminox Titanium SEAL: a perfect match. Stylish and serviceable, this is a great combination. BluShark should make more of these in 22mm AlphaShark pattern too. I would have preferred the slightly thicker nylon, but the Premier works well on this lightweight watch. An excellent NATO strap.

Fantastic replacement band! For years, I used a classic, rugged "seat belt" band with my Luminox Recon watch. The Blushark AlphaPremier band is much higher grade material, far more comfortable, yet proving to be just as tough in the field. Think of it this way - my old style was the course, thick weave of a Ford Focus seat belt, while the AlphaPremier is the smooth, fine material of a BMW X5 belt. And, across the board, the Blushark bands are a far better value than those branded by Luminox.

Watch strap is silky smooth and soft. Colors are vivid and look outstanding on my watch. This is one of about 10 - 15 different BluShark straps that I have purchased or have been gifted in the past few years and each has held up very well with no fraying. Well made product. Highly recommended!

The Malbec looked like a good match for my red Orient Kanno and boy is it. Love this watch with this strap. As usual great fit, feel and quality from BluShark.

Amazing rubber strap for my Zodiac Grand Hydra. The orange strap plays so well off of the orange seconds hands and indexes. Quality materials. Great texture. Adds so much character. I like the extra length, too. Very comfortable. Great product!

The red and black was my last choice of the three and my favorite! Matches the red in Seamaster perfectly. Here's me rolling in my minivan dropping the kiddos off to school. Love the straps. Thanks guys and gals.

Being a repeat customer with BluShark, I already knew what to expect. The fit, finish, and overall quality of their Nato straps is fantastic. The wide variety ensures that anyone will find a strap to fit their needs. I have six straps in the rotation now, some for years, and they have held up well over time.

Great strap, needs some breaking in but that’s no different from any quality leather strap. Nice padding on the inside. 18mm version shown here - makes for a very classy look!

Perfect shade of orange for my watch. I have another brand's strap in yellow that I paid $90 for - this isn't exactly the same quality (thicker and slightly less soft) but it's 95% of the way there and definitely worth the money. I absolutely love the color and it is definitely durable and very comfortable.

Without a doubt the best Zulu strap I have ever had. Soft, comfortable, and rugged. I really appreciate the grommets as the buckle's pinholes have always been the weak point in a Zulu or NATO strap.

It seems that the material seems a little thinner and more flexible compared to the other BluShark Original straps I've recently bought. That aside, the colors are perfect and it looks great with this Promaster!

Very nice strap. Flexible right out of the box! Stitching and hardware are top notch! Would definitely buy another! No offense to the Blushark team, but my OCD made me put on a black PVD buckle. Perhaps a black buckle could be offered in the future? Still, an excellent product!!!!

The quality of this NATO strap is simply outstanding. Silky smooth nylon that has a simple yet refined, premium look and feel. The understated blue and grey is exactly what I was looking for. Paired with my blue dial Phylida Aqua Terra, it looks like I have legitimate luxury on my wrist, but without the luxury cost. Quality to price ratio is incredible. Superlative value. I could not be more satisfied with this purchase. Well done, Blueshark!

Really satisfied with my first purchase from BluShark! Like noted in the description, these are primarily meant for straps only. >36mm watches won't really fit inside the pockets. Pictured watch is 37mm. If you're looking for a quality pouch for your straps then don't look any further! Can't be beat for the price.

This rubber strap from Blushark has got to be the most comfortable strap I've ever owned. Very supple and smooth yet with a proper thickness for durability. Quick attach/detach internal spring bars are super convenient. The dark blue color looks great. Even the brushed stainless steel pin buckle is very well machined. Overall just a high quality strap at a very reasonable price.

Fantastic! High quality, great looking and very comfortable leather strap that looks much more expensive than it is. I must have gone through and returned a dozen or so leather straps trying to equal the original leather that came with my watch - this is the closest at half the price. Great product and quickly shipped.

Easily my favorite NATO strap, I own a crown and buckle premium and a stock timex strap and this blows both of them out of the water. The fabric is thick and sturdy, while still incredibly soft to the touch and not overly stiff. It’s very thick, which I like as it helps keep the watch in place, where the watch would slide up and down a thinner strap. I wear it with my Orient Ray II, and I think it looks great!

Very high quality and a nice looking strap! Seems very durable. It's very stiff at first but I assume it will soften as I use it. Huge plus for the quick change spring bars.

Wow! Extremely comfortable strap! It's thin and super soft. The watch sits nice and low on the wrist. I will say though that a heavier watch might feel a little unbalanced with this light strap. But for a slimmer watch like a skin diver or a vintage piece it's fantastic!

I can safely say that I've never owned a NATO strap that felt better in hand. It just oozes quality and refinement. The colors are vibrant and it's silky smooth to the touch. I put it on a cheap Vostok Komandirskie and it classed it up so much. Definitely, worth the price if you want the best.

Really enjoy the comfort and fit of this camo band; this is my second, one for 20mm&22mm. The band works well with simple function watches like my old Timex as well as dressier watches.

I wanted a band for my Soviet-era designed Vostok Amphibia. I figured the Bond strap would be perfect - like he took it as a trophy from a defeated spy. It looks great, and I know I have it upside down (I have a big wrist).

This watch band is so soft, supple and comfortable you barely know its on your wrist. Mine is on my EDC $90 Casio Solar Wave Cepter but it would look and work great on any of my Omegas, even my Brietling although the weight of that one makes me wonder. The quality is tops. The keeps and buckle are in the perfect places. So easy to work with. I didn’t think a watch strap would make such a difference.

Love this watch strap! I bought it to wear with my Seamaster, but it pairs really well with all my watches. Very premium feel. Luxurious and soft but strong and sturdy at the same time. Also has a floating keeper so tucking the extra length is easy.

Absolutely perfect watch band for those patriotic holidays. Pairs very well with my sea master. Strong and built to take abuse, but at the same time soft and luxurious. Premium band for your premium watch. Great buy.

love it. I've never liked leather straps (granted I've never bought one above $50), I bought this to wear in formal settings and I thought I'd almost never wear it but it really surprised me. It's really nice especially for less than $40. I put mine on a deployant clasp but it was already great as is. Now I want another

Charles M.

I recently had my vintage 1973 Omega Seamaster serviced and I wanted to get an appropriate wrist band for it. BluShark is reasonable priced, so I purchased the 3 for 2 sale. The lugs on the Seamaster are fairly close to the watch body, so I was worried about the fit. I bought 2 Slim and a Premier strap, each 1.2 mm thick. All 3 straps work, the Slim straps slide on easier because of the material. I almost exchanged 2 straps because of the colors I selected, but I didn't. Battleship Grey is a nic...

So I bought you band for an inexpensive watch that I purchased that had a poor quality NATO style band. Your band's quality gave this watch a whole need look. The quality and color really works well with this watch and as a result is my new favorite. The band is very well made and easy to wear all day long!

I simply love this strap. I really like the materials used for the nylon and the weave is very comfortable. The hardware is excellent for the price and I sometimes forget I am wearing a watch! That is how comfortable it is. I would totally recommend this product especially if price is a factor!

You know how on occasion you purchase something you HOPE lives up to expectations? The Blu Shark NATO straps exceeded mine - and I have been singing their praises in all of my watch forum groups and social media pages. The best of many brands I've tried!

Love how thin the alpha slim bands are. They’re the perfect combo of length, thickness and overall material choice. This is a home run of a band. Hard to compare this with anything else on the market, but the closest thing I’ve felt is similar to omegas natos. Definitely plan to buy more.

Chris B.

I selected this, alongside with a pair of alpha premier NATO straps, as my 3rd, and free strap. As much as I love the quality of the NATOs, this has become the go to strap for my big, orange Seiko 5 beater. The fit and quality are to the usual Blushark standards while the comfort and design (just the right hint of orange to complement the watch without being too much) of this strap have blown me away. Very happy. Please get the 22m red version back in stock, so I can purchase it for another ...

Working as a Yacht Captain it is imperative to have a dependable watch on your wrist for on time departures. on time arrivals and measuring time distance point to point to establish current and how it affects the dynamics of your trip. The problem and failure point is the band, if they're steel bands you're reliant upon one pin holding the watch in place with limited immediate adjustment. Synthetic or rubber bands tend to slide and have high notch sensitivity so a minor crack will go catastrop...

Highly recommended online so I bought this Bond NATO for my Speedmaster. Quality is excellent considering that it's less than 25% of the Omega NATO it's an incredible deal. Will definitely augment my collection.

This particular strap has a unique color, which it allows to be worn with any style of watch. In this case, it pulls out the color of the indices on the dial of my Orient Ray 2. The strap is soft, supple, and very comfortable.

Was in love with the first strap for my Aquaracer and couldn’t resist buying another when I bought my new watch. It just pops and that’s what I love about your straps because there are many options to choose and mix and match.

Blushark straps are the best in the biz! The "entry level" straps are of high quality and same for the hardware. The "alpha" series are softer and a bit more comfy on wrist. Highly recommend!

The knit weave-space khaki strap is a value-for-money alternative to the astronomically priced original Tudor strap. This strap not only wears comfortable on the wrist but it is no less as sophisticated in design and quality as the original Tudor strap. A worthwhile investment indeed.
