Thoughts on Orange NATO

Got this orange nato strap in today for my Hamilton mechanical. It was a risky color, but after wearing it, I love it. Definitely a good decision.

It works on that watch.

It so works. 👍

Feels more Fall than Winter. Are you in the Northern or Southern hemisphere?

Agreed. I am northern. But I just especially like orange so it kind of scratched the itch I had for an orange watch.

·

I like it. It may not be for every watch, but works here. I often find the watch world a little boring in terms of colors. The most bold colors are orange, yellow, and purple.

I say rock it. I put my Duro Kermit on an orange FKM.

Exactly. Life’s too short to wear boring colors🤙

Agreed. I'd love to see some watch company to do a run of watches in the bright neon colors of the 80s/90s. Or see something like a Casio with that 90s teal.

For sure. I love what G Shock has done when theyre GA2100 lineup. Especially the GAB-2100 yellow one. I own that one personally and though its not for every outfit, it’s an eye catcher and definitely gets lots of attention.

Nice! I've looked at that one before and really like it. I like what they've been doing too. I also like some of those Casioak mods.

·

Solid. Think I’m gonna have to go get an orange nato.

For sure. They are a little beyond my taste, but I can definitely appreciate them as a g shock fan.

Rock on dude 🤙

Very nice. That dial and similar dials are plain looking so they are a great pallette for bright colored straps (nylon, leather, FKM).

I have quite a few plain looking watches that I pair with colorful straps.

I love this so much!

·

I completely support this, blaze orange is like a neutral, seriously! Looks good, nice choice 👍🏻

Looks great

·

Orange Nato best nato

·

Orange is the new black?

·

Looks amazing. I’m definitely getting a Hamilton this year. I think I’ll go white dial though, since I have no white in my collection

·

Yeah it's great if you enjoy it. My favorites so far are dark sea blue or bright red.

Is this the 38 or 42mm?

38

I love orange straps as a fun option! The beauty of it being a nato is you could swap it if you want too. I mean, the Khaki Field is a strap monster, so why not have a bunch of options!

38

Wow, it wears kind of like a 40-41…must be the lug to lug

Yeah for a 38mm it looks slightly bigger due to the LtoL. Though it still feels like a 38 on wrist

·

Looks great!

·

I just want to pull the strap and see if anything inflates. Reminds me of safety equipment and lifejackets (they are orange in Denmark)

Looks really cool though, perhaps I should dip my toes into more color. Hmmm 🤯

·

Works well, I’ve always been a fan of orange and it contrasts the dial handsomely

·

As orange as possible!

It looks great on that watch! I use an orange NATO on my Vostock Scuba Man with the blue dial.
