Chevron adjustable NATOs?

Post by andrema » Thu Apr 02, 2020 11:53 am

I was looking around the internets the other day and these C&B "Chevron" straps popped up. Has anyone tried these?

I’ve got a couple. I wish they were a bit longer, but likely they’ll fit you well. Nice quality and good looking.

I have one. Not a bad strap. I just don't seem to grab it to wear it. It is definitely a good alternative.

I have one that I wore on my BB58 for a bit before I sold it. Kind of a pain to size originally, but well made with nice fabric. Regular NATO is definitely easier.

BTW I sold the BB58 and still have the strap - so if anyone wants it let me know... Black with blue tones and a gold/tan stripe.

I have a 2 or 3 and I like them a lot. Once you size them to your correct size, they rock. Material is thinner than seatbelt toxic's but the weave seems to be of good quality plus the color combos are great. If you don't have any problems with "pass-thru" strap, you will like them. A dressier alternative than a regular nato.

If you like the colors, also check out BandR bands. Material is thinner than the Crown and Buckle but it is a regular nato. I would not use them on a heavy watch though:

I like them. As said, a bit difficult to adjust initially. Very interesting texture and colors, and fancier than a standard nylon strap.

Some of the best one piece straps I have had, super comfortable and great fit with the adjustment. A little short though, on the last hole for me.

I have four and like them. Good quality hardware, nice fabric and weave. Not cheap.
They definitely feel higher end than most natos I’ve had and look better too. But YOMV

Has anyone tried one of these on a Seiko SKX case? If so, does it wear well or is the watch too big/thick for this type of strap?

Those wear slimmer than a regular nato, so it should work on a SKX.
