Yeah but... My James Bond fantasies won't be compromised.

Oh yes without a doubt. And this doesn’t spoil my enthusiasm for Omega. Just . . . wow.
Seriously though. Are they handmade by Bond himself? Titanium buckles? Organic corn plastic biodegradable webbing? Spider silk stitching?

Seriously. It’s not like every strap comes with a complimentary kiss from Rosamund Pike.*
*If that were the case, I’d be filing for bankruptcy within the month.
I suspect the target customer is the sort that drops $300 on a meal at a restaurant without thinking.
One of the things I find interesting about the watch world, is that people seem to forget that luxury products aren't intended for "normal" people.
"Normal" Omega Natos are $160. Still high, but at least it's better quality material and all the metal is decently finished. However, double the price just because it's the "Bond" colorway????
I’ve tried an omega nato and they are great but bark and jack straps are my favorite and only 20ish dollars!
Take the Omega and 007 logos off and it's worth about 50p
"Well if i had thousands to spend on a watch id have 320$ to spend on a nato as well" I guess that the idea behind it

No I fully understand that, but it still baffles me.

Exactly. I’ve yet to find a strap that’s better than the ones I pay $10 for at Crown & Buckle.

The $32 Chevron from Crown & Buckle is pretty awesome.

I haven’t tried the Chevron yet, but they look great and seem like they’re probably really comfortable. I do have one of their Supreme straps, which I honestly didn’t like all that much to begin with, but as it’s broken in I like it more and more.
I bought a Speedmaster Professional that came with a "free" Omega NATO and after handling it, I threw it on eBay right away.
It was a good strap, but certainly not worth keeping when the money someone paid for it can buy several good NATO straps.
