NATO Strap as Single Pass ? (Why and How to cut NATO strap)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Don't you hate it when your watch is "hovering" above your wrist when wearing NATO strap ? Have you tried wearing your NATO as a single pass instead of a double pass? Why do you need to try, and how? And if it's the kind of strap you want, how do you convert the NATO strap to become a single pass? This video will answer most questions about how to wear a single pass and convert permanently. I also added my own tips to wear NATO as a single pass, by folding the keeper strip under. Enjoy :) #nato #strap #timex #mods

Thank you for the single pass options to avoid cutting the material.

You're very welcome! Have a great weekend:)
First, I check if the watch is sliding around on the strap. If it's not, which is usually the case, I just cut them off without hesitation. It's just my personal preference.

Thank you for sharing. Yes, that'd be a good way to make sure the watch won't slide off.

I've always cut the extra strap off; but I tried something new when I replaced the last strap. I just took the NATO strap as it appears at 0:18, on your video, and passed it through as a single pass. I didn't fold over the extra loop. The buckle on the strap appears in the traditional position, and the extra loop stays flat. My wrists are large, so I don't have to double fold the end.

0:10 - This single layer strap resemble the 1945 "A.F.0210" strap -, at time made in canvas. In 1954 the A.F.0210 receive a second layer, became what was latter know as NATO strap, the 1973 specification just define to be made in Nylon, but there's nothing new on the design.

Awesome! I'm definitely going to search for more information about the A.F. 0210. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I wonder why NATO straps make buckle move towards a side of a forearm, unlike in standard 2-part strap in the middle, just underneath, opposite the watch.

Frankly, I don't know, but maybe it has something to do with cost effectiveness (with the buckle towards the side, the double layer part is shorter)

Hey, I have a question, will the cutting off of the strap cause irritation on the skin? I am worried the cut off stub will dig into my skin and irritate it.

I don't have that problem. You can heat/burn and then press the stub to minimize it from scratching, and, you can also slide the strap so that the stub is positioned beside the lug's spring bar.

Would the burning work with a leather NATO?

I don't have any experience with cut/burning leather NATO strap, but I think there's a special method using wax to cover the cut.

No reason for burn a leather strap, just cut. Leather cut is treated with paint, wax and polishing.
