Awesome, wears very comfortable and makes my Glycine Combat Sub step it up a notch
Harold L.
My first order from BluShark. Won’t be my last! Excellent “build quality” in their products, and customer service sets a high standard for anyone doing online retail marketing.
Kevin H.
My first NATO so I had to go with the Bond. Great quality, bright, sharp colors, and high end hardware. I won’t buy NATOs from anyone else.
Gary T.
I've purchased several NATO bands from here, and love all of them! Fantastic quality, material and workmanship. Very pleased!
Robert L.
First nato strap ever, and it matches the colour scheme of this seiko recraft ssc513 perfectly.
Jason R.
The colours are great and go with everything. The steel hardware looks great in polished. Also, the keepers don't add an unnecessary bulk.
Mihai D.
Great texture, very nice colors and very comfortable. I enjoy it very much.
Donald E.
I've been replacing all my favorite colors from other nato manufacturers with BluShark. I won't wear any other.
Leonardo B.
Brilliant strap!
Garth L.
I purchased the blacked out version of the Vintage Bond NATO for my blacked out chrono. It’s a stunning combo. The length is perfect for a good wrap over the second bar on my 6.75” wrist.
The finished holes and clean edging shows high-quality attention to detail.
Patrick B.
I think it matches the watch perfectly. It gives it s bit of flair.
Michał B.
Looks pretty cool, good quality :)
WIlliam M.
This is a watch band, specifically a nato strap, that got me enthusiastically wearing a watch again. I’m a 50 yo guy and the fun this strap brings to the day harkens back to my underoos as a kid. A bit much but true.
Ricardo G.
Really like the strap, very comfortable and feels quite durable as well.
Bruno A.
Order it because many people recommend it so I decided to give it a try. Pretty happy with the result because i order 3 NATO just for a specific model and they all look great. Already considering my next purchase. Thanks for the good work, keep on going.
Jayden H.
This is a very wonderful nato straps. it’s totally worth this price. I ordered five that pretty match my mdv106.
JOHN D.
The original BluShark straps are excellent. They are well made and use better hardware than straps I've owned from other manufacturers. This particular Bond version pairs perfectly with my Seiko SKX007.
Terry E.
What a good way to give new life to a fifteen year old watch, and replace a dated bracelet. Quality top notch!
Michael G.
This is probably my 10th BluShark NATO strap. Fantastic quality. Long lasting and very comfortable. The vintage bond NATO is a nice compliment to any diver's watch
Juan A.
A perfect cold war couple: my soviet Vostok Kommandirskie watch and a Blushark Bond Vintage strap...
Chris A.
Fantastic products!
I now have 5 BluShark bands and it’s like having 5 new watches!!!
Anita M.
The most comfortable and durable straps I've had, I have already purchased a lot of originals from blushark and will definitely come back for more:)
Kenneth B.
Ordered my first NATO strap (an unbranded el cheapo sue me I knew nothing at the time) when my OEM band finally bit the dust. I couldn't wear the cheap strap for more than a few hours before the stitching starting rubbing my skin raw. I decided to educate myself in strapology and in the process read some good things about BluShark and eagerly ordered a few to try. One for the Citizen, one for the Seiko 5 and one more because it was free. I've been using these straps for a few weeks now all day everyday with zero discomfort. I will now wear BluShark straps exclusively. Everything about the BluShark strap screams quality and that's just the original. The next watch I buy must have at least 20mm lugs because I'd really love to try one of the AlphaShark straps.
Kenneth T.
go for alpha premier when you can...
Carlos D.
Great strap, top quality at a great price. I'm super happy.
George T.
First experience with any nato bands. Great quality of fit and finishing from Blushark. Really pops on my Steinhart 42mm OMV.
Alan B.
These are hands down the best thing you can do to have a little fun with your timepieces! Best strap material and the hardware is best I’ve seen.
Chris B.
Best nato straps around!
Ryan M.
It looks good on just about every watch I own.
Scott G.
This is the only place to go for Straps!! I own several now. On this Bond and Soviet watch combo; The PVD hardware is out standing. These straps are tough and hold up to the elements! I keep coming back!
Thomas J.
I bought 3 straps for my Seiko 5 SNK803 and I think this one is my favorite. It adds such a nice touch to the watch and is very comfortable to wear. Thank you BluShark for making an outstanding product.
Brenden G.
Great feel and durable. I just don't think the color is for me. I'm giving it a try, but gray/black and gray/black/blue just speak to me so much more. Giving it a try today and hopefully it stays on for a week. Living NATO strap life! So easy to change the look of your watch moment to moment. Nice quality, durable and comfortable. I love the brushed steel hardware, it matches the bead-blasted finish on my Seiko SNK809 very well.
Jonathan P.
This is like my fifth strap from BluShark and I love it!
Only thing that would make it better is if the colors were darker, like more on the maroon and darker olive side
Adrian P.
Superlative product, highly competitive price, Fantastic service!
Jonathan S.
nice strap just i wish they had the bond orange stripe for my watch
Roger S.
very well made strap, extremely comfortable and quality components even a signed buckle! The whole ordering process and delivery was quick and easy, only downside is you can't order just one.....it quickly becomes addictive!! I will be buying lots more in the future!
RICARDO S.
I've always wanted a vintage bond strap. This goes well with my Tudor by giving it the necessary pop.
Stormy P.
The quality of the other straps I have is no comparison to the BluShark natos. Keep up the good work!
Keith C.
Absolutely love this watch strap... Comfy, easy to install, sharp, seriously one of the best purchases I have ever made.
Kevin A.
Sexy product and feels great, will definitely make future purchases!
Vincent C.
I love this strap with my Seiko. Superb quality materials and craftsmanship, beautiful straps, the best I've found, and at a reasonable price tag. I don't think I'd buy a NATO elsewhere now that I've discovered Blushark. Cheers.
Anthony S.
Nice bond NATO on the 007
Vincent C.
Love the vintage bond strap. looks great on a number of my watches. Fantastic quality.
Kevin T.
Love the strap! Super comfortable and gives my chrono some serious style!
Norman L.
Just wanted to let you know that I received my Vintage Bond strap much earlier than I expected which was fantastic! I think that it's an incredibly well made, stylish strap that elevates my beloved Seiko SKX013 in a very fashion forward manner. I look forward to expanding my collection in the near future and I look forward to purchasing from the Alpha line as well for some of my premium watches.
Alex F.
Loving the bond classic! Very well made, will definitely last for years.
Vincent C.
I am new to watch collecting so it was cool to discover while reading the forums that people like to swap straps out, and that NATO straps (G10 to be accurate) are a favorite. So after reading more I decided BluShark was the way to go. I ordered three straps, two originals, the one pictured here being one of them at 18mm. The third a 22mm Orca.
I think this is a good example of how a nice strap can make even an ordinary old quartz watch look like something completely new and pleasing to the eye.
This strap is actually intended for a black dial/bronze case Vostok Komandirskie that has not yet arrived. Which brings me to another thing that I discovered is really nice about the G10, that they can be easily swapped out without tools, and shared across different watches in your collection. For a dress watch there are other strap options I'd look at first, but a G10 may be appropriate on my Bambino with business casual attire.
BluShark quality, materials, and construction are exceptional, with the Orca being significantly heavier gauge materials, not to say that the original is in any way inferior, just not as beefy as the Orca. Having a smaller wrist and medium size watches the original will seem to work better for me in most cases. But the 22mm Orca should should look great on the larger diver that I intend to wear it on.
As for the 11" length, it works fine for me, although my wrist is only average in size. If you have a very large wrist you will be using the holes closer to the end of the strap, with not much if any extra to fold under into that first loop. Not sure on that but something you may want to inquire about if you have a large wrist.
Great top quality products, reasonable prices, and am sure I will be back all too often :) I can honestly say that outside of the very expensive luxury brand NATOs I doubt you will find better. Certainly not at this price point. I hope that my review helps in tour decision. Enjoy!
Tim V.
The Blushark really jazzes up my Steinhart Ocean One. Makes me feel like a young man again!
Brady C.
Thanks! Breathed life into my 20 year old Swiss Army watch!
Adam L.
Installed to my Seiko Alpinist; the NATO giving much better confidence than the original strap. The Vintage Bond colors with the watch dial create a stunning combination!
PHL9853285 Chester D.
I’ve bought several NATO straps and this by far has the best quality Ive ever seen on a nylon strap. the buckles are of extremely high quality which surprised me. they’re even better than the buckles on the leather straps that came with some of my watches. would definitely be buying more soon!
A.C.I A.
Very good qualité, this vintage bond is perfect with my Squale ! Love it !!
Joel K.
The material is very high quality and color is exactly what you see on the website, which is not also the case when ordering straps from other companies! I’m a BluShark fan!
Timothy B.
Hi the strip are great will get more thanks.
William A.
This is my 7th Blueshark NATO strap and not my last. I highly recommended them.
Kyle H.
Love the quality and the comfortability! I have 3 straps in my collection at the moment, I will get more I just need to figure out how to get more wrists...
Adam K.
Great band! And such an amazing quality.
Very comfortable and beautifully done.
Will definitely come back for more.
Michael L.
Looks great, fits great! Top notch quality that is better than I expected.
Brian G.
Beautiful high quality watch bands. Highly recommend.
YingHao C.
Great strap! The quality is better than expected, super soft and wears nicely.
Eric M.
Color of the strap is great. The nylon is a bit stiff but hopefully it will soften after wearing it.
Kathy F.
Terrific quality NATO. Cool Bond look. So pleased with this purchase!
J T.
The best nato strap! Feels and looks great
Eric M.
A very cool option. Not too thick, folds easy and is very comfortable. No part of this strap rubs or starts to hurt after an all day wear.
McCrae Y.
The Absolutely Hottness!. A Vintage Bond Strap will change the game on any timepiece, but of particular "swaggness" is the Vintage Bond Strap from Blu Shark. "I pity the fool" who don't recognize the superior quality of Blu Shark NATO Straps!
Steve W.
Wanted a 20 mm Bond NATO for my 39 mm Steinhart OVM. Excellent, well made strap! Better than I had imagined. Thanks.
Noel M.
Great quality and very comfortable watchstrap. Hugs the wrist and suits a selection of my watches and looks great!
Jared C.
I now own 6 Blue Shark Natos and I love all of them. The quality is top notch. I love this vintage Bond on my Citizen Eco-Drive Aviator GMT. It gives the watch a very cool look. Fits perfect looks great!
Doug M.
Love the Vintage Bond on my SNZF17. The material is soft yet durable. I won't buy natos from anyone else!
Ferenc B.
Lovely colour combo with an outstanding buckle. Very strong wrist presence. I love it!
Gary K.
Purchased both Vintage Bond and Contemporary Bond 18mm NATO straps for my Timex Navi Harbor and they both look great. The Vintage Bond is a particularly good color match. Excellent quality for the BluShark straps, from the nylon material to the premium buckles to the rectangular holes. Best NATO straps from any that I've purchased so far.
Michael D.
Great strap for jazzing up a vintage Rolex. I bought a variety of NATO/Zulus from a number of makers. Blue Shark is easily the nicest I've found so far and the price is reasonable. I don't need to look anywhere else now.
Valdemars M.
Fantastic quality! And it's thin too, so doesn't add much height to watch on the wrist. I really like the colors, and that red part of strap is thin, unlike cheap chinese natos.
Also, gaps between holes are perfect, I wish this distance was used on Alphas too.
Gene L.
great strap, easily the best one that I own. Very comfortable and sturdy.
Gene L.
easily the best NATO strap i own. It is soft yet sturdy, and the thick buckle feels really tough and secure.
Marius P.
Perfect for the size and watch.
Shane F.
I have 5 or 6 blueshark straps and love them I last my first bond strap and had to get a new one and so I got the vintage bon strap too this time I think it looks good on my skx007k
Ferenc B.
Lovely strap, I expect more 24mm straps from you.
Jeremy J.
The bond looks so amazingly vintage cool on my Orient Mako XL. Very Sean Connery.
Njama J.
I had to go through a few of my watches for the perfect combination, but I found the watch worthy of the strap. The fit is exceptional and the visual look is exceptional. I can't get the loop because it's just not long enough, but it's ok. I love the vintage look, comfort and just different from most bands you see. Worth the investment.
Ian K.
I know what to expect from BlueShark NATO's! I love them and add such variety when u have a few watches! Love this vintage Bond on my skx007! Will be purchasing more in the future!
Ian K.
Loving this classic Bond Nato on my Seiko sarb017 Alpinist. Comfortable and durable!
Almethus G.
very nice strap and very classy looking one. it matches with my seiko turtle srp777 because the dial is plain so having a busy strap compliments nicely with the watch. i like that it is the rectangular adjustment hole and buckle tongue.
Whisnu T.
Nice color and fit with the watch
Dylan L.
Nice quality strap and awesome hardware but, what makes me enjoy wearing the Blushark is the personal touch that Joe, the ownwer expressed is priceless.!
Matt W.
This is a great strap made with premium nylon and a great buckle. Very comfortable to wear and looks fantastic with any watch.
Louis P.
Perfectly reliable, definitely enjoyable. Sharp customer service. I will surely buy again from Joe.
Carlo J.
My name is Bond, Vintage Bond. Great strap, looks awesome on my Seiko SRN055! Will do business again.
Walter K.
I couldn't wait to put the Vintage Bond NATO strap on my Seagull 1963 hand wind chronograph. I think it looks great. I can't wait to shop with you again.
Brian D.
Looks good on any watch. Quality is one of the best on the market.
Dan K.
Vintage Bond for my Vintage Chronograph.
Kyle L.
Everything I always wanted in a NATO.
emilio y.
Finally i took a picture. I really like this strap. Top quality.
Thomas S.
Fits my small wrists perfectly.
