Product Description

At BARTON Watch Bands, we obsess over designing quality products that meet the highest standard for fashion, function and fit. Based in the heart of Austin, Texas, BARTON was founded in the wake of many years of frustration with poorly designed, dysfunctional, low-quality watch bands.

Nylon NATO

BARTON NYLON MILITARY STYLE WATCH BANDS

Our NYLON Military Style straps are a must have for any watch enthusiast! Crafted from ballistic nylon, these straps are waterproof, washable and ready for any occasion.

Our Military Style straps are available in two lengths. The 'standard' length (10") generally fits wrists from 5" to 7 1/2" in circumference and is available in widths of 18mm, 20mm and 22mm. The 'long' version (11") generally fits wrists from 6" to 8 1/2" and is available in 20mm, 22mm and 24mm widths. Those with wrists under 7" typically prefer the 'standard' length band and those with wrists over 7 1/4" typically prefer the 'long' band.

DETERMINE PROPER WIDTH FOR YOUR WATCH

  • Check the underside of your current band to see if the width is marked
  • Use a metric ruler to measure the width where the current band attaches to the watch head
  • Search online for the specs of your watch make/model

*If your watch has an odd lug width of 19mm, 21mm or 23mm select the strap that is one mm wider. The leather will squeeze in nicely.

Adjusting Length

COMPATIBLE LUG WIDTHS

These bands are compatible with any traditional watch that uses standard 18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm spring bars.

*If your watch has an odd lug width of 19mm, 21mm or 23mm select the strap that is one mm wider. The strap will squeeze in nicely.

ATTACHING THE STRAP

Refer to diagram in picture above. First, remove original band and reinsert spring bars into watch head (replacement spring bars sold separately if needed). Then, simply feed the leather strap between the spring bar and watch casing, behind watch head and up through the other spring bar. Run through leather ring on short strap to secure watch head. No need to remove spring bars (pins) to swap between different colors.

ADJUSTING LENGTH

If band is longer than desired, fold free end neatly back into the keeper loop or cut to desired length. If trimmed, expose cut end to match or lighter flame to avoid fraying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very stiff but feel durable and look great!
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2023
I bought these expecting them to be of a more soft fabric material like the NATO that came on my Seiko SRPG33, but they’re not. They are very stiff and feel of plastic. Think of a backpack strap. They feel very durable and well made, and are still comfortable on the wrist, just not what I was expecting.

That being said, I bought these to give a couple of my watches a variety of looks outside of the standard strap/bracelet they came on, and they achieved just that! The colors are vibrant and look great. The width is exact and fits perfectly between the lugs (22mm in this case for both) I will note that the navy and yellow strap is a very dark navy and almost looks black (as you can see in the photo). It’s not a big deal as my Bulova has a black dial so it still pairs very well, but just figured I’d mention it.

Overall I’m very pleased with them, especially for the sale price I got them for, and will likely buy more. At $6-$15 why not experiment with colors, right? Great value for the money. Buy with confidence.

SIDE NOTE: These straps do not come with springbars. So if you’re like me and have other bands with quick releases, you may need to order some spring bars if you don’t still have your watches’ originals. Luckily I had some laying around.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tad outside the box fit for Casio SGW 100B.
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023
I like this brand and have used quite a few. Always quality, attractive and install nicely. The outside the box note here is that I kind of adapted this to a Casio SGW 100B. The original band died young and the replacement I got for it was stiff. The tab end seemed to get caught on cuffs and anything else it could find. I wanted to use a NATO band for this watch. The case design does not make this practical. Only recently did it hit me that I may be able to use the original metal brackets to slip a NATO style under since the spring bars are blocked by the original case design. The key was the right width and thinner strap material. This strap hit the mark. The experiment worked and this band is comfortable. It did allow the case to slip a bit on the spring bars. So, the fix was a tiny drop of thin super glue on both sides of the bottom of the case tab right at the point where the spring bar passed through the center tab of the case. To me this looks fine, feels good and is easy to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible watch band, comfortable and durable
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023
This is a great product. I've had it four years now and it is just now beginning to show a little wear. I used to get leather bands, they never posted this long.

There is a but of flattening of the nylon, but the color has remained consistent everywhere else.

It dries quickly, and if it ever gets dirty or sweaty a quick wash with soap and water brings it right back to a nice color without any smell.

Ho comprato il cinturino nato per sfruttare un mio orogolio anche nel periodo estivo, devo dire che il cinturino si dimostra sia al tatto sia al polso di qualità, sicuramente su amazon se ne trovano anche alla metà del prezzo ma questi mi sembrano molto più duraturi.
