SKU Code: NAT20SS/ELA/BOND

For some years, various military forces have used elasticated nylon straps. We recognized that by fitting these straps with NATO pattern fasteners, they could serve as an excellent alternative to standard NATO straps. These new straps can be removed without undoing the buckles, which is particularly beneficial if the strap becomes caught or snagged, as noted by the Royal Marines who tested them.

In appearance, these straps are almost identical to standard NATO straps, with a similar length of 28 cm. Despite their elasticity, they retain the classic NATO watchband design, made from fast-drying ballistic nylon webbing mixed with elastic material. This high-tech blend makes the straps robust, comfortable, and long-lasting. The design ensures the watch is held securely at two points, virtually eliminating the risk of loss.

The history of the NATO strap began about 40 years ago with a single grey 20mm band. Since then, it has expanded to include RAF Blue, Black, Navy Blue, the James Bond pattern, Olive Green, and more. We have developed numerous variants, including regimental colors, Search and Rescue (SAR) orange, and various camouflage options. These straps are popular with military units globally and are also purchased by service members for a variety of military watches.

Currently, we manufacture around 200 different variants of NATO straps in various color combinations. Most of these are for retail sale, but some custom straps are sold through procurement contracts. Our elasticated straps are a further evolution of the original NATO strap we've sold for decades.

The original "NATO strap" specifications were defined by the UK Ministry of Defence as Defence Standard 66-47 Issue 2 (published March 30, 2001), following earlier standards dating back to 1973. Although the design is not rigidly fixed, it largely remains as specified, with most bulk contracts requiring stitching around the buckles.

For over twenty years, we've supplied original nylon straps to a diverse range of clients, including military personnel, police, emergency services, exploration units, Search and Rescue, oil and gas companies, and businesses operating in tropical or desert locations. NATO straps are ideal for these organizations due to their durability, quick-drying nature, and resistance to rotting or splitting.

NATO straps are also perfect for watches from leading military contractors and robust civilian watches such as Seiko, Rolex, Marathon, CWC, Breitling, and Pulsar.

Please note: Our  range of elasticated NATO straps is currently available only in 20mm width. However, many of our customers have found them to work well with watches with 18mm lugs, as confirmed by tests on some of our models.

Finally found the perfect backpack!
Color: Apricot, Size: 17.3 Inch
I’ve been searching for a backpack that could fit my 16-inch laptop and my other uni stuff since i commute, without looking huge on me, I’m a small girl, so most big backpacks just look bulky and awkward. I wanted something slim and sleek, not one of those backpacks that stick out and have that “belly” shape. After a lot of searching, I finally found this one, and I absolutely love it! The material feels really high quality, and the design is just perfect. I got the 17-inch size, and it fits my 16-inch laptop comfortably. There are so many pockets for organization, plus a separate padded compartment just for the laptop, which I really appreciate. It also has a handle that easily slides over my suitcase handle, which is so convenient for traveling (I travel a lot, so this feature was a must). It’s comfortable to wear, the straps are adjustable, there are bottle holders on both sides, and overall it just looks clean and stylish. i got the beige color one. which i love. I’m really happy with this purchase it has everything I was looking for. I’ll attach a short video showing all the pockets and features because it honestly deserves it!

Perfect and not bulky
Color: Apricot, Size: 17.3 Inch
Love this slim backpack, plenty of room for my laptop and so much more. Lots of zipper and mesh pockets. I like the separate compartments for the laptop. It’s well designed and very functional. I wanted something that was not bulky and this fit the bill, it’s really great. The material is nice and easy to keep clean. Seems well made, I’ll update down the road if that changes. I recommend this backpack.

Perfect work travel bag!
Color: Black, Size: 14 Inch
Perfect work bag! I was looking for something for a petite frame. Can fit a lot in it, worth the money, love all of the pockets. Can carry two ways - either with handles or wear on back like a backpack

Perfect backpack to use as a purse
Color: Champagne Brown, Size: 14 Inch, Color: Champagne Brown, Size: 14 Inch
I LOVE THIS BACKPACK! It's perfect as an EDC backpack used in lieu as a purse. It's small enough to use daily and to keep basic necessities in. It has a main compartment, a basic compartment for a laptop or iPad, and a small front pocket. There is a small area that closes with a snap where the handle comes out of that can be used for storage as well. I like to keep my sunglasses or vape in it. I like to wear a backpack when shopping, it makes it easier to have my hands and arms free and I also don't have to worry about my purse in a cart and someone dipping into it when I'm not looking. While I like to wear a backpack, I don't need an ACTUAL backpack used to carry large objects and this fits the bill. I'm able to fit my wallet, phone, 10" iPad, journal, tech kit, small makeup bag, keys, glasses, gum, coin purse, misc. pouch in it and it still has room at the top. The quality is excellent, as all Golf Bags are. The color is a beautiful neutral medium taupe (I got the light brown/cappuccino? color) but I would love this bag in black, blue, and beige! The blue color is such a pretty blue!

Good for office and school.
Color: Black, Size: 16 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 16 Inch
Looks good and it's lightweight. Soft material for the design. Storage is ok, could be better with softer cushions and a strong cover material. Zipper is sturdy so far. Versatile. Cons: Has no strap to keep laptop in place. Laptop cushion not thick enough.
