Nato Straps

I love the way Nato straps can change a watch, but I hate the way the wrap around and create a bulge on the outside of my wrist. Does anyone have a good source for two piece nato straps that function like a normal leather watch band? Thanks!

Try the Octopod system from ZULUDIVER. Still one piece but works more like a bracelet.

Have you tried a "Marine Nationale" strap style? It's basically the look of a NATO without the bulk of the fabric and more comfortable.

I like the look of Altera watch brands. The owner @Justinisroaming is on WatchCrunch. Here is a link to one of his posts. https://www.watchcrunch.com/Justinisroaming/posts/first-run-of-altera-watch-straps-293124

Have you tried this trick?

Then while the watch is on the wrist, insert through other piece and buckle. Also, this makes it easier to adjust the watch on the strap
