OEM Omega NATO Straps – the 2018 Update Part 2: the Olympic Edition

Tonight Omega expanded its -by now- vast collection of NATO straps with 24 new variations in celebration of the 2018 Winter Olympics. While most of them are very country-specific, I already spotted a few that I think will also look good beyond the Olympics. In this third installment of our Omega NATO update (part 1, part 2), I’ll fill you in on all the details.

Please note that all of the straps pictured below are available in two sizes, one for watches with a lug width of 19 or 20mm and one for watches with a lug width of 21 or 22mm. I have tried to link them to specific countries guided by the list on Olympic.org, but since colors nor flags are not my strong suit I appreciate any comments you might have.
