Omega Speedmaster Professional on OEM NATO straps (click for full size)
There is now an updated version of this article available at http://www.speedywatches.com/oem-omega-nato-straps-2018-update/
Frequent readers of the SpeedyWatches blog will know: we’re big fan of NATO straps on our Speedies. Until a while ago we had to go aftermarket to get these, but Omega launched a full collection of exceedingly high-quality NATO straps at BaselWorld 2014. A week or so ago Omega launched a special page dedicated to these straps, allowing us to go through the various options and matches available.
Omega NATO strap 031ZSZ002056
First up is the 031ZSZ002056, a strap in black coated nylon fabric in the same construction as the one used on the Apollo 11 45th Anniversary: a thick and sturdy strap with fabric keepers – no hardware other than the Omega-signed buckle.
Price: contact Ace Jewelers
Omega NATO strap 031CUZ002058
Then there’s the 031CUZ002058, a brown Barenia leather NATO strap. Again, no hardware other than the Omega-signed buckle. We’d care to guess that this one will age very, very well.

Omega NATO strap 031ZSZ002044
Next up is the 031ZSZ002044, a NATO strap in grey-bordered black polyamide with traditional stainless steel hardware.
Price: contact Ace Jewelers
Omega NATO strap 031ZSZ002046
Then there’s the 031ZSZ002046, which is essentially the same strap but now with orange borders. This one would look rather smashing on orange-accented Planet Oceans we’d recon.

Omega NATO strap 031ZSZ002041
Third in this series is the 031ZSZ002041, again black polyamide but now with red accents.
Price: contact Ace Jewelers
Omega NATO strap 031ZSZ002045
In a more traditional look, there’s the 031ZSZ002045 in a color combination traditionally referred to as ‘James Bond’ – although recent research seems to have changed the consensus on the colors of the actual James Bond strap.

Omega NATO strap 031ZSZ002047
A variation on the one posted above is the 031ZSZ002047, in black/orange.
Price: contact Ace Jewelers
Omega NATO strap 031ZSZ002042
Last but not least is the 031ZSZ002042 in black and red. A vibrant combination!
