I first saw this in WatchTime magazine. Seiko has introduced a new heavy duty fabric strap to go with the SPB239 and SPB237 divers. I think you can only get them with the watches, but I may be wrong. Pretty cool IMO.

Re: New Seiko NATOs
I like those designs quite a bit!
Someone over on WUS was asking about what type of watch strap was best for surfing, and I responded in my opinion, there is a difference between a good surfing watch strap and a good diving watch strap.
Lug holes, shoulderless spring bars, and a good NATO or ZULU strap is just about the best you can do for surfing (or any "extreme-ish" activity).
For diving, the Seiko accordion vented rubber strap is hard to beat.
Diving in a NATO can be an annoyance as the strap gets looser as you go deeper, and surfing using a rubber strap is fine until something breaks and you lose the watch.

Re: New Seiko NATOs
I'd think the straps will be available separately at some point, they will likely be getting plenty of requests for them

Re: New Seiko NATOs
This looks great. I have been thinking of adding a black dial soon.
