• This leather OTAN-style watch strap is inspired by the classic military G10 single-piece design originally used by the British MoD.
“OTAN” is simply the French abbreviation historically used for this well-known military strap design.
The term “NATO” appears here only in explanatory context to clarify the origin of the style; it remains a registered trademark of Andom LLC (USA).

• Made according to Defence Standard 66-47, the link to the file.  Of course with our own handmade finish and detailing:

• Featured with 3 rectangular frames/loops and a buckle, which were produced especially for my brand, made of the best 316L stainless steel. The frames do not have a flat section, but a rounded top, which gives additional rigidity and a soft shine.

• One of the frames will be slightly higher so that you can wrap the free edge of the leather into a loop*

• Assembled strap length is 11 inches / 28 cm excluding buckle.

• Can I make this a single pass version, without a third loop and leather part underneath? - Yes, just add a note to the order about this, I'll make a single pass strap for you.

• Frames/loops are available in:
- Standard Polished finish,
- Matte Brushed (no fingerprints remain),
- Sand finished Golden color (no fingerprints remain),
- Black Matte PVD,
- Solid Brass rectangular loops, handmade by me***. Featured with plated steel Golden buckles
- Solid Bronze rectangular loops, handmade by me***.  Featured  with plated steel polished Rose Gold/Bronze/Copper buckles. Solid Bronze loops are shiny when polished, seem to Copper color, and darken with patina over time, natural metal oxidation.

• Stitched with linen thread by hand, in a "French technic"

• Edges are polished by hand and covered with a protective semi-matte finish.

• Leather thickness is about 4 oz (1.6 mm)

• Watch leather straps are available in 16, 18, 20, 22 mm width.

*For nylon straps, there is no need to increase the height of one of the frames, but nylon is thin. And the leather is much thicker, so one of the frames has a slightly increased height. I couldn't find higher loops over the markets, so these frames were ordered for me personally. Only I have such frames.

***I make the brass and bronze frames/loops by hand, so they won't be as perfect as the mass-produced steel ones. This is pure craft. And I did it because I could not find factory loops made of brass and bronze. My loops are made of 1.5 mm thick and 3 mm wide metal strips. In general, these are approximately the same dimensions as the factory loops.
