Great band! Feels very sturdy and having the quick removal spring bars helps to switch out between the other straps I have. Love the color as well

This versatile strap pairs effortlessly with nearly any style of watch, from rugged Field Watches built for the outdoors, to Dive Watches designed for underwater adventures, Pilot Watches with their aviation-inspired functionality, Minimalist Watches that emphasize clean and simple design, Sport Watches made for high activity and performance, and Classic Tool Watches that blend durability with timeless style.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Ribbed Mako FN watch strap is designed to comfortably fit wrist sizes from 6.25" to 9.75". Fit may vary depending on how tight or loose you prefer to wear your strap and the size of your watch. For wrists between 6.25" and 8.5", there will be enough length to tuck the strap under both keepers. For wrists above 8.5", the strap will stay secure under the keepers, but won’t have extra length for tucking.
Note: Fraying may occur over time due to the nature of the material. Fraying can easily be removed with the light passing of a flame. Read more about this in our blog.

Great looking watch strap. Using on my Tissot Seastar 1000. The colors are great. The quick connect is great because it keeps the profile of the watch closer to my wrist. I would recommend.
Mark L. 5/5 Verified
Really happy with the two-piece Mako strap. It’s comfortable, well made, and most importantly, it works well on a sub-7-inch wrist. The watch sits flat and centered on the wrist without the extra bulk you can get from a traditional nato strap.
Andrew C. 5/5 Verified
Strap is a bit thin to support a heavy watch. The contort is a 7 out of 10. The hardware, color and look is spot on!

I had just recently bought a new Certina 40.5 DS Action Diver and had ordered the 2 part Nato strap and loved that one. After seeing how great it looked, I wanted to try the Single Pass Nato on my Citizen Diver, and I love it. The original 2 piece wouldn't fit my Citizen but I loved the look so much I went with the Single pass and it fits and feels incredible. I have purchased multiple bands from BluShark and you can't beat the quality and finish, not to mention the great discounts they offer. I am a true fan of BluShark!

Niall F. 5/5 Verified
The strap was good and I like that it has the quick attach/remove, just that I expected the strap to be more thick and heavy duty, but it's still quality nonetheless

Miguel G. 5/5 Verified
Great strap! Nice and breathable for the summer without the extra material of a normal NATO. I really like the army green color on this one and It looks great with my red bezel Alpina Seastrong diver.
Chris 5/5 Verified
I’m really liking these ribbed Mako straps! Gives the look and feel of a nato without the extra material. This one looks great with a bunch of watches, especially my brown/tan Alpina Seastrong. Feels very well-made and is probably my new favorite strap for thicker watches in the summer.
Chris 5/5 Verified
These straps are awesome! Gives the look, feel and breathability of a nato without extra material underneath the watch case. This one in particular looks great with my Seiko Samurai among others. Hardware and construction are solid. Feels very well made.

Strap goes perfect on the Hamilton khaki auto. It is comfortable and I get a lot of compliments on it.
Blake B. 5/5 Verified
I initially thought it would be thicker, but the product is great quality but feel it could be more heavy duty
Dustin H. 4/5 Verified
Strap is great as are all of the straps I’ve purchased! I’m up to around 8 different ones now. All the different materials and models I’ve gotten are of high quality and exactly as described and pictured.
D B. 5/5 Verified
One of my favorite straps! Look and feel similar to a one piece NATO strap, but with the convenience of quick release spring bars. I may end up with every color!
Adam M. 5/5 Verified

Jacob G. 5/5 Verified

This strap works great on my Hamilton khaki field 38 mm
Adam C. 5/5 Verified
Decent. Materials and fit is great but the faux keeper on the band should be a bit longer or even adjustabled so that way it wouldn’t dig into your skin while wearing. To make it comfy for prolonged usage, I reversed the band with the faux keeper on the outside.
Clayton C. 3/5 Verified
Great strap at a good price! exactly what I was wanting!
Brady C. 5/5 Verified
Its okay. Build materials are great but the faux keeper on the band prevents the watch from sitting close to the wrist. It also seems to dig into the skin if tightened making the strap uncomfortable over long periods of time. I would probably suggest that the faux keeper be moved further down the strap to prevent this in future iterations.

Really great look and well fitting strap for my c60 gmt Christopher Ward
Mark C. 5/5 Verified
Love the fit of this two piece strap. I have always loved the look of a NATO strap, but found them difficult to put on and uncomfortable. This strap is extremely easy to put on and very comfortable to wear.
Michael S. 5/5 Verified
This one might be my favorite of the series, judging from the number I have of them. Don't sell me anymore of this particular strap. I own enough of them.
Bryan R. 5/5 Verified
Classy Mr Bond. James Bond. The Bond series of watch straps are my favorites. You can find a strap that will go with just about anything and make you look good doing it. Now BlueShark needs to add the Commander Bond strap to round out the series. So I'm still waiting.
Bryan R. 5/5 Verified
This combination looks like it means business. It will go with almost anything. I appreciate it
Bryan R. 5/5 Verified
Good looking strap that matches the watch that I put it on. It's a real good combination that's as durable as it is good looking. Thanks a ton.
Bryan R. 5/5 Verified
Great watch strap, I had put this on one of my DIY dive watches, and it really tied the look together with burgundy and cream colored accents. Looks like a very unassuming NATO strap while still sitting lower on the wrist and letting the exhibition case back really show when at rest.
