Suitable for a NATO?
Just bought this watch from a seller in Moldova. I really want to put a nice Select-Heure NATO strap on it, but I’m a little concerned that it will look a little funny on a NATO because of how thick the watch is and how the caseback is not even with the lugs.

Might want to try a single-pass or a Nato modified to single-pass.
Here's my 31659 on nato, I think the cases look similar thickness. Hopefully this can give you some comparison. But natos aren't expensive so you could pick up a cheap one just to try it out.
Single pass slim nato.. kangaroo leather works well it's really thin but has great strength
Try crown and buckle

Yeah I ordered the cheapest on they had just to see how well it will fit on it.

Yeah mine has the exact same size and case shape as yours. So it might work on mine to but the caseback is a little bit taller on mine because of the rotor. I’ve orders a cheap nato to try on it before I buy something more expensive.
Thanks for the pics, and very nice Soviet Air Force issued Sturmanskie chronograph!

James Bond, probably
What about MN straps? I think it ought to look good on that watch
