Leather Zulu One-Piece

The stitching on the band they sent me was bkack. That doesn't match the product photos. That said, this band is soft leather and very comfortable to wear. It looks great with my watch. I have a smaller, 6.5"wrist and there are four holes left so it will go a lot smaller and four holes the other way so it can get a lot bigger. The brushed metal matches my watch ring perfectly.

..and when I say perfect, I mean it. If it were possible to give this product more stars, I would. Bought this for my Seagull 1961 Chronograph and it is just absolutely amazing. The leather is both soft and sturdy, plus it is just slightly elastic, which makes the fit absolutely perfect. I was hoping the color would be just a bit brighter than how the pictures looked, but it is right on. The length is absolutely perfect. With nato straps, I usually have trouble finding one that is long enough for my wrists with enough extra length to do the proper fold over style of wearing it, but this strap is absolutely perfect in that regard too. The black pvd coating was a smart and beautiful touch that just puts it over the top for me. This is the perfect leather nato for my needs and I will be happy to purchase another color for the next watch I buy. I am absolutely amazed at the overall construction and quality here for such an amazing price. Keep it up guys, you're on the way to being the only brand I buy from.

This is objectively a well-made band. It has solid hardware, good stitching, and leather that will break in nicely with time and is not too stiff out of the package. As all NATO bands are, it is easy use and wear. Slip it through, secures, and go. It is a good value at this price. If you want to try a leather NATO, this a good choice. Next for some personal thoughts on this product. I do not ding this product its one star for a personal preference for the "single-pass" NATO design over the double. I cut the second-pass loop off with a pair of scissors. I have plenty of NATO straps I have done this to, and I do not see this impacting the durability of the band. I think I prefer the feel of the single because it is what I first used, and it allows more free adjustment along the length of the strap--which leads me to my next point. This band is very long which is not a problem. My only note is that I think the manufacturer should have a few more hole punches that can make the watch band smaller still; I will need to add a few holes as the band stretches from use. I do not think of my wrist as being particularly small, but I am wearing this band on the smallest hole. Designed in USA. Made in China.

I've got the coolest watch in town and DRINKS are ON ME because THIS STRAP not only does *exactly* what it's supposed to, but because it looks FREAKIN GREAT (and feels great) doing it. LOOK AT MY PHOTO and I DARE YOU to say otherwise! (For those curious, the watch is the Citizen Brycen Chronograph.) Installation is simple and may require a couple shifts of the watch up &/or down the band to place properly. The leather is strong yet somehow soft, like a man who has come to terms with the nature of the particular beast that he is and will assert himself when necessary or, conversely, hold his tongue without ever feeling inadequate. The Benchmark NATO watch strap is the budget leather strap by which all other budget straps are judged: it is tough, reliable, and most importantly handsome (like me). In fact, this is the SECOND of these straps I have ordered (the first going on a vintage USSR Raketa Kopernik) and I BET MY BREAKFAST I will order ANOTHER for MY SON when he GRADUATES AN APPROPRIATE GRADE to purchase him a timepiece. If you're on the fence about ordering this watch strap, just buy it bc you can return it and get your money back. You have nothing to lose. But my point is you'll probably keep it because it's quite good. Pray for America

I have thick wrists, to the point that it’s difficult to find bracelet-style watch bands that fit. That’s why I’ve gone entirely to using NATO-style bands. This one looks great, but it starts out large and stretches almost immediately. I have it on the tightest setting right now, and it’s almost too loose to wear comfortably. If you have a good leather punch handy, you can always put a new hole in and adjust it to your wrist I suppose, since the leather and metalwork are all of high quality and it looks very nice. But it is annoying just how loose it is out of the box.

I wanted a leather band in a color that matches my watch case. Great NATO band, made of real leather. Comfortable and well-made.

I bought this to swap out the nylon strap on my Boderry Voyager as it was very rigid and not very easy to remove from my wrist at the end of the day. I was a bit skeptical of this band given its price point but after seeing so many reviews, I figured it must be decent. The leather is thin but not overly thin. It has a matte finish that feels almost velvety (not sure what the right terminology is for this leather finish) that looks nice but you can tell it is going to scratch up easily leaving lighter marks in the leather which I think will contribute to a classic aged look. Overall, I think this was a good choice.

It fits well, is nice and soft, looks great and holds the watch really well. Only thing is I wish it were a little bit thicker. It's not flimsy-thin, but it's on the verge of being too thin.

Great product . Fits my 44mm PAM perfectly.

I am using this with a classic Seiko skx007. It is replacing another leather NATO band I had for about 5 years of constant wear. I tried a couple other brands and they were either too short for my wrists or way too flimsy. I like this band very much. The quality is great, it works like a NATO band should, it is very comfortable, and the price is good for what you get. Recommended!

Very good well priced item that lasts quite well for my work watch whilst making it look smarter too.

Grand correa, justo lo que quería. Mi bulova hack vwi subió de nivel con esto.

Looks nice but thin leather. I'd be lucky to get a years wear out for this in hot weather. Also weirdly long, I have a standard sized wrist and have about 1cm+ of overhang. I'm returning for something higher quality.
