BARTON Leather Military Style Watch Straps - Choose Color, Length & Width - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm Bands

Very good quality leather and buckle.

Better than expected.. will purchase another soon 😊 i like the uneveness of the leather color- shows more character

Le produit a répondu à mon attente pour la souplesse in et la bonne qualité du cuir.Point négatif : la partie du bracelet soumises à la pression de la boucle n'est pas renforcée; conséquence, elle s'amaincit avec risque de rupture à la longue.

It's a decent looking strap. I think it'll look better with age. Looks way better on my Bell & Ross Aero GT than the previous cloth nato strap I was using, which made a very expensive watch look cheap by comparison. Because it's so inexpensive I'm thinking about trying to make it look aged and distressed and if I screw it up I'll just order another one.

The leather is thin, but I don't think that's a problem, as otherwise this won't work well as a NATO style strap. I wish the 18 mm strap was 0.5 cm longer for my 18 cm / 7 inch wrist as currently it ends just shy of the second keeper.All in all, so far, so good, although I've had it for less than a day.

10”, gingerbread color, with modificationsGood band for the price, improved with modifications.This is a thinner band, but seems to be holding up ok. Paired here with a Citizen Garrison, 37mm watch, 7.25” wristModifications include:1) removed 2nd layer of material under the watch. I know this is a “nato” style strap, and the 2nd layer is a part of this style. I just didn’t like the extra height it gave the overall watch. This is no fault of the band necessarily, just a style decision on my part.-removed the 2nd fixed keeper (loop holding excess strap). I wanted a floating 2nd keeper as the fixed location of the 2nd keeper didn’t allow me to tuck the excess strap.-salvaged the keeper from the removed 2nd layer to create a floating 2nd keeper on the band itself.-patina’d and darkened the leather. I first bent and handled the strap. I folded it over on itself, rolling it in my fingers for the length of the strap to stretch and “break” the leather surface. I then scuffed it lightly with a green scotch brite pad. I spot burnt it with a lighter, very minimally. Then applied a light coat of Mink oil for boots, and placed it in the oven (200*, 15 minutes). I did 2 total rounds of mink oil and oven treatment. The result is a deeper, richer color with more character. I can also see the patina setting in nicely in just one week of wear.Time will tell if this band is durable enough. I am seeing additional coloring and patina set in since my original modifications, and am happy with it. Hopefully this does not mean the band and keepers will wear out quickly, but overall I think it is a good buy for the money and a good addition to my citizen.

Very soft and feels high quality on the wrist. Little difficult to mount if you are using fat spring bars. But this is no problem at all.
