Played 'swap the strap' today. Wanted to put it on the Pelagos 39, but forgot they decided a stoopid 21mm lug width would be appropriate. So Tudor stays at home and Omega is going to Wales and the Peak District

Interesting texture on the NATO - got a link?

I've got my 16600SD on an olive NATO at the moment and loving it.

It's an Omega that was made for the moon landing 45th anniversary Speedy, I got a spare after I misplaced the original. Then I sold the watch and found this in a drawer lol

This looks very similar, mine has titanium buckle and pin and is off-black, but otherwise damn close. Leather lined..which kinda ruins the diver vibe haha

Thanks again! Not sure I've ever paid over £10 for a NATO... I am sucking through teeth here

I’ll never be a hand model.

Better snaps in better light from when I first posted:





Lots of comments online about the Explorer 2 being too big at 42mm. I say keep it that size. I got used to it after just a couple of days I like the solid rugged heft.

My Tudor nato was £200 due to having the bronze tang and buckles etc to match watch. I bought a £20 nato as well.
Original is the right hand one the cheap one is on the left as it originally came on leather.

Wearing at work in a manufacturing environment!

My excuse is to run it properly for a month.
So far it is at +2 seconds per day. Not too bad.


Still loving it.

I have the exact same one on my MoonSwatch





Quality is not comparable with oem stuff for 10x the price though around the holes, it starts to fry pretty quickly. For my MoonSwatch it’s ok, but I don’t wear it on my “quality” watches.

Can't really go far wrong with this one.

First outing this year.

Yes. You can see the difference in the “weave” in the OEM one opposed to the cheaper yellow one.
