M WATCHESILLITARIES, SPORTS OR NAVIGATION:

It is undoubtedly maritime navigation and the resolution of the problem of longitude which will have been the most powerful engine of progress in precision watchmaking. A long history links sailors to watches since the discovery, by John Harrison in 1735, of the calculation of longitude using precision chronometers. Without a watch, it is impossible to find your way at sea; it has become an essential tool for expeditions of discovery. Later, the railway, with its precise timetables extended across continents and its convoys which intermingle and cross, made it the obligatory attribute of the mechanic, the engineer and the traveler. In this regard, the war of 1914-1918 has the merit of demonstrating where exactly the needs lie; we saw the beginning of a change in behavior with the widespread use of wristwatches. Navigation, war, automobiles, aviation, and finally the Olympic Games will give him his letters of nobility. All these elements have marked the history of watchmaking, and the chronograph has become the symbol of the modern hero, conqueror of self-control, technique, speed...

The NATO strap : a “must have” that immediately transforms your watch into an adventurer

Rolex Submariner fans or Omega Speedmaster fans know this well: by replacing a traditional steel strap with a NATO strap , you radically “change” your watch in no time! So let's go back to the history of this nylon strap , cheap, trendy and above all ultra-resistant... This is why it was originally fitted to British army watches in the 60s and 70s. .

NATO… but where does this strange name come from? In fact, NATO is the abbreviation of North Atlantic Treaty Organization… In other words, NATO, in French in the text. The NATO strap therefore comes from the military world. In fact, like any tool, instrument or equipment ordered by the army, a real NATO must meet very precise specifications.

Because in fact, apart from the fact that it is comfortable and hypoallergenic (especially in a humid environment), what most characterizes this strap - and this is why it is used by the army - is its extreme resistance . Given its one-piece manufacturing, breakage of the strap , and therefore loss of the watch, is extremely reduced. This is probably why it is so appreciated by athletes, divers and astronauts – who can easily adjust the strap to adapt it to the thickness of their suit.

From an aesthetic point of view, NATO straps adapt particularly well to Speedmasters or professional Rolexes, in particular to Submariners or SeaDwellers, but also to GMT Masters. A famous example, in Goldfinger (1964), James Bond (Sean Connery) wears his Submariner 6200 on a two-tone NATO strap (gray and black)... And since then, this strap has been nicknamed the NATO James Bond !

In short, a strap that is not luxurious, but which gives your favorite watch a truly adventurous look!
