Watchdives sent this NATO strap with my Tactical Frog as I included the free gift code in the order. I decided it works with my Glycine very well. It is actually a very soft weave that I think was originally a tube that was flattened to a 20mm strap. Softer and more flexible than seat belt nylon. More firm than the sleazy low-cost NATO straps. The hardware is a big step above too. This is a return to the "OEM" look as the watch came with a green NATO of the worst sort. A strap seemingly designed by somebody who hates NATO straps but was told to make one anyhow. I'll share a comparison photo below. Strap is too inflexible to fold back the tail in the keeper. The reinforcement over the holes make it too thick to slide through the lugs. Length not quite good, and the keeper hardware are just awkward. But I am considering transplanting the buckle.

The weave change gives that a nice two-tone look! A very nice look

Looks really good on the Glycine, Chris! Any nylon strap that comes with that thick, fake, plasticky leather strip around the holes sucks. I have a couple and I hate them! It makes it to thick and stiff for a NATO. I agree the buckle is really nice.

Looks great, Chris - love the look of NATOs and the like, but I don't like wearing them, myself.
