yes, I'm tired of the typical NATO with a one-color variation of the stripe. Bracelets are one way of customizing mass-produced watches. In this case it's a blue HNS NATO with a Sashiko wave pattern. The picture isn't as clear as we'd like, it's just a little blurry. But the fact of the matter is that it is definitely different and unique. HNS has several templates and I have purchased two so far. I love this NATO watch and I think it suits this watch - just the 3 hand Vestal Alpha Bravo. The belt itself is good. It is made from the typical ballistic nylon long used for NATO straps and has good hardware with a stainless steel buckle and pin and two clasps. This is a good strap made of good materials and will give your watch a new look. Solid four star product.
