FAQs

Our deployant nylon clasps are specifically designed to create a secure fit to our deployant nylon straps. We cannot guarantee an acceptable fit on clasps from other brands.

The deployant nylon straps each fit the same size clasp. I.E. 20mm strap will fit a 20mm clasp. All of the 20mm deployant nylon straps will fit the 20mm deployant clasp. 18mm and 22mm straps each have a separate corresponding clasp.

Guide to Changing Non-Deployant Nylon Watch Straps

NATO-style straps are popular for their durability, versatility, and easy installation. Follow this step-by-step guide to change your NATO strap and give your watch a refreshed look.

What You’ll Need:

  • Your watch

  • A NATO-style strap

  • A spring bar tool (optional, but helpful for removing and replacing spring bars)

Step 1: Remove the Existing Strap

  1. Prepare Your Workspace:

    • Work on a clean, flat surface to avoid scratching your watch or losing small parts.

    • Lay down a soft cloth to protect your watch face.

  2. Remove the Existing Strap:

    • Use a spring bar tool to compress one end of the spring bar holding the strap to the watch case.

    • Gently release the spring bar from its hole and remove the strap. Repeat for the other side.

    • If your watch has fixed spring bars, skip to Step 3.

Step 2: Inspect the Spring Bars

  • Check the condition of your spring bars. If they appear bent or worn, replace them with new ones to ensure your watch strap remains securely attached.

Step 3: Thread the NATO Strap

  1. Position the Strap:

    • Lay your watch face down with the lugs facing up. Ensure the buckle of the NATO strap is on the side of the watch closer to 12 o’clock.

  2. Thread the Strap Through the Lugs:

    • Insert the longer part of the strap through the top spring bar (12 o’clock) from the back of the watch.

    • Pull the strap through and thread it through the bottom spring bar (6 o’clock).

  3. Adjust the Keeper:

    • If the strap has a secondary keeper (a smaller strap loop), thread the strap end through it to secure the fit.

Step 4: Secure and Adjust

  1. Position the Watch on the Strap:

    • Center the watch head between the two strap loops, ensuring it’s properly aligned.

  2. Wear the Watch:

    • Place the watch on your wrist and thread the strap end through the buckle.

    • Pull it snug for a comfortable fit and tuck the remaining strap end into the keeper loops.

Tips for Success

  • Choose the Right Strap Width: Match the strap width to your watch’s lug width for a proper fit.

  • Experiment with Lengths: NATO straps often come in various lengths; select one that fits your wrist size without excessive overlap.

  • Regular Maintenance: Periodically check the spring bars and strap for wear to ensure reliability.

Changing a NATO strap is a simple process that lets you personalize your watch effortlessly. With a variety of colors and materials available, you can transform your timepiece to suit any occasion or mood!
