Crown & Buckle makes some of our favorite leather watch straps, as well as some of our favorite NATOs. In fact, the Crown & Buckle Supreme NATO, a “seatbelt” nylon NATO, won our Editor’s Choice award in 2018 for Best NATO Strap. This is strap even accompanied us into the field for some serious testing and performed admirably.
Just the other day, Crown & Buckle released three new colors of the Supreme NATO ($34) — Burgundy, Frost and Auburn. All three colors are available in 20mm and 22mm widths for now, and feature a choice of brushed or black PVD hardware (+$2), a 29cm length and top-grade ballistic nylon. Best of all, upon special request, Crown & Buckle will provide you a Supreme NATO without the extra layer of nylon that sits beneath the watch head, effectively giving you a seatbelt-style single-pass strap.
Other colors, including Black and Gunmetal, are still available from 19mm through 22mm widths.
