I'm looking for a NATO strap for a pilot watch which is relatively chunky. Therefore I want the strap to be relatively thick and decent quality. So far I've found these:

...which are 1.6mm thick, but it's a US store and I'd rather find something in the UK if I can. The best I've found so far in the UK is Zuludiver, but they're only 1.1mm. Any ideas?

Have you had a look at Timefactors? Good quality and the two piece nylon is very chunky.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look. The size is 20mm.

The Timefactors suggestion has led me to want a Smiths Seafire now!

Timefactors or Monkeyswag, who sell through their own website, Amazon or eBay.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've had a Harley strap from Monkeyswag delivered today and think it looks great. The rings are stitched in place and the holes and end are heat-sealed. Plus it's the same design as James Bond's watch in Spectre , which appeals to me because I'm a saddo smile
