Congratulations on the Daytona. Imho NATO's are reserved for subs only and don't see it working on the Daytona. It looks perfect on a bracelet or if you have to change the bracelet the oysterflex so maybe a rubberb?

I have found the premium blushark natos to be the best quality/price point. However, I wouldn’t wear my Daytona’s on a nato. Possibly rubber oysterflex, but not nato.

Never saw a daytona on nato in the flesh …. But some random pics i found on the net make it look like its a combination that could work and not inly for a sub

I think that’s a great idea.
I’ve worn Phoenix nato straps for years. If it’s good enough to be an issued military nato, then it’s certainly good enough for me. |

I guess there are thousands of speedmasters on natos…
I personally leave my Rolex on factory bracelet but each to their own :) |

Blushark has a wide variety of Nato's. You should def check them out! Their premium straps are a bit shiny, but very soft on the skin.
Don't forget to share some pics! |

I’d opt for a RubberB over nato in the daytona

Perhaps Sail cloth? Artem Straps is a good place to look if you're interested.

I’ve always struggled with NATOs but recently I’ve found Bark & Jack to be really comfortable, also the Haveston single pass straps are really nice with a more canvas like texture.

NATO on a Daytona is sacrilege in my opinion. |

IMO works well for a vintage manual wind version, less so on modern. The polished case and bezel looks a little off with the strap, I think.

Keep it on the metal bracelet. I find modern Daytonas do not look good on anything other than the OEM bracelet, or maybe oyster flex. Definitely not the strap monster that the Omega Speedmaster is.

RubberB over nato.
I just don’t see the nato working that well with the Daytona. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
