Our entire collection of classic 18mm NATO straps fits this iconic model; however, we’ve chosen the black or gold hardware options, depending on the watch version, as the best matches, given that the watch case is black. You can also opt for the version with polished silver hardware, which will also look great, matching the watch’s side buttons which have the same finish.
