BARTON Leather NATO Style watch bands are custom fabricated from top grain leather and 316L surgical grade stainless. These straps have been designed to meet the highest standard of fashion, function and fit and we back it up with a full satisfaction . Buy multiple bands to compliment your wardrobe and swap in seconds. Selecting Width: Straps are available in 18mm, 20mm, 22mm and 24mm widths. To determine the proper width for your watch, use a metric ruler to measure the lug width (the point on the watch head where the band attaches). Lug widths for most common watches are also available from the online. Selecting and Adjusting Length: All widths (18mm, 20mm or 22mm) of our original 'Standard' length band measure approximately 10-inches in total length and fit wrists from 5 to 7 1/2 in circumference. All widths (20mm, 22mm and 24mm) of our 'Long' version measure 11-inches in total length and fit wrists from 6 to 8 1/2. However, watch size and geometry also impacts fit. Those with larger wrists (above 7 1/4) typically prefer the 'long' version. If band is longer than desired, fold excess back into the keeper loop for cleanest look. Full money back for anyone that does encounter a fit issue. Attaching the Band: Refer to diagRAM in picture above. First, remove original band and reinsert spring bars into watch head (replacement spring bars sold separately on desertcart if needed). Then, simply feed strap between the spring bar and watch casing, behind watch head and up through the other spring bar. Run through stainless steel ring on short strap to secure watch head. No need to remove spring bars (pins) to swap between different colors. Review: Satisfying - Very good quality leather and buckle. Review: Good value for the money - As long as you don’t expect it to be the quality of a 100 dollar strap, you’ll be pleased. Soft material, comfortable right out of the box. It has decent clasps and well done loops. I wear it with a Hamilton Field Khaki and it doesn’t look out of place.

Comfort, Strength, and Style!
Not too thick, but obviously extra strong and very flexible. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality, supple leather. The hardware is extra strong, as well, with extra large holes in the band to accomodate. I have many, many NATO straps, and this is by far the most comfortable. In addition, the leather allows me to wear my expensive watches in more formal situations without sacrificing the safety and durability of the NATO style strap.

Great leather strap option
I have purchased several Barton products over the years, but this was the first leather band. My first impressions were that this is a very soft band that was easy to install. I first placed it on my Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm. It fits this watch like it was designed for it. My only concern comes with the thickness. Since it’s leather, there is a little more inherent bulk that comes with it as opposed to a regular nylon nato strap. I tried it on my Seiko mini-turtle (sbdy083) and that was just too much bulk for that dive watch. Next, I tried my Black Bay 58 and this was workable but still had some height concerns. This strap should love on a field watch. A 36mm Explorer, Khaki field, or something similar will serve the wearer very well for a long time. Now, I have 6.5” wrists and often have to worry about the excess strap that is left when wearing nato straps. This strap did not disappoint and served its function well. There was a little excess that hung over but not too much that would cause a concern, or be tucked in(see photos). I was concerned initially at how thick this strap may be, but again, thinner watches that hug the wrist hide the rest of the bulk that may be there as a result of the doubled up leather. If that is too much of a problem, you could always cut the second piece to thin it out. As far as durability goes, it feels like it will hold up well as long as you care for it. Water is not a friend of leather, right? Since it is softer, water marks will undoubtedly show more but I doubt that will affect the durability too much unless you soak it swimming. Overall, I am happy with this strap and the cost and may purchase others in other colors. If you are on the fence, take a chance and you may be pleasantly surprised.
