I think the NATO strap on the Ocean of Storms looks pretty good, but the rubber straps that are now available for them look really in my opinion:

Can I ask where you got that strap from?

Those are just photos I found on the internet, not my watch, but below is a link to one go the high quality strap options. Of you search google for 'Ocean of storms rubber strap' you will get lots of different options from about £20 (Ebay and Ali express) to the more expensive ones.

Thanks - found a good one on Amazon and 2 x 0.9 hex and away. I am on springs as I couldn't get the hex bar back in. Very pleased (rubbish pics soz)

Fun little watch for casual weekend / beach duties. Was on the fence (still am to a degree, when a casio does it just as well for less). That said, it’s got character and more practical now on a rubber strap.

I recently realized that the Antarctic is rather different than the other ones. It has no date and a different logo...
Know I want one as well

BTW. I find the oem nato straps rather good, tbh. I fitted a cheap 22mm all black nato strap from amazon and cut the double pass loop off, but honestly, I prefer it stock. Unlike the moonswatch, they are rather nice on the straps they come with.
Personally I'm not a fan of the rubber straps shown here... I want to try some tropic and/or perlon straps myself.

Yeah to be honest, I didn’t know there was a difference aside from the colours. Shows how much attention I pay!

Agree with you on the strap. I prefer the look of the original but from a practicality point of view, the cheapo Amazon rubber is, well, cheap (and dull looking) but the watch is so much more useable with it. I don’t intend on experimenting with other options for a beater but understand why others would.

Picked up an Ocean of Storms in Glasgow on Saturday.

Tried the Antarctic but its grey and too similar to my Mission to Pluto Moonswatch
