French Paratrooper Type Watch Strap

Better then any natos I’ve used. Holds right and tight with out being overly constricting. Material is comfy but also grippy preventing it from sliding up and down your arm and wrist. Only thing I don’t like is that unlike nato Strap, you have to remove springs bars to install. No biggie since they include spring bar remover and some extra spring bars. The hook part can be tricky to attach until you get the hang of it. Already ordered a second one.

Great band, goes on my stuhrling original watch very well, watch came factory with green leather strap that wore out quick as it was stiff (but I've noticed I'm too hard on leather straps and no longer keep them on any watch that factory has them as only option) this one goes well with the yellow indices on the dial and yellow accents on the minute and hour hand while keeping homage to the factory green with black buckle and other black accents. I bought some of these for a replacement to some nato straps for other watches I'd replaced bands on, but wanted a more unique look/strap. The lock/tightening system is awesome

Easy to install and comfortable, however the strap is pretty long and hard to adjust and clasp it just right I also don't like how narrow the band looks, but that's kind of a flaw of the Casio being a smaller watch, and not a flaw with the watch band itself.

Perfect replacement strap for the 18mm Citizen beater field watch I got for Christmas. Super comfortable and fits better than traditional nato straps. The price is fantastic and it came with a watch pin removal tool and 4 pins. I wasn't expecting that and I am pleasantly surprised. You really can't go wrong with this watch band.

I have a larger than average wrist and this strap was STILL way too long. The only way I could use it was to cut off 3 inches of strap and use a sewing machine to re-sew the end clasp. Now it fits perfectly. I only gave it three stars because of the fact that I needed a sewing machine to make this thing usable. The clasp is difficult to slide into the buckle with one hand. It takes practice and is still frustrating to use. Good design in concept, but not in everyday use, IMO. This is an elastic strap, so there is always compression on your wrist, something I'm still getting used to. If you can get this at a low price it might be worth checking out but I have an extensive watch collection (normal person stuff, non "luxury") and this is my least favorite strap in terms of function and fit. However, it looks great with my 'Batman' Casio Duro and my all-blue Casio Duro, so it's worth keeping.

I have two, and they are both AMAZING! One on my Shinola, totally changed the way the watch looks and feels. I have another on a Seiko Mod that is amazing. I find myself putting these watches on over others since these bands are super comfortable.

When Erika’s was sold out I started looking elsewhere and found this. I really wanted a green strap with the red stripe. This fits the bill and is way cheaper. The Shade of green is exactly what I was expecting based on the image. It looks pretty great on my Aquatico Bronze Sea Star. I’m almost gave it 4 instead of 5 because I had trouble keeping the slider in the same place as I was putting the watch on. As my first parachute strap I don’t know if this is normal. The other thing was how long the strap is. As others have noted, it is long. I have 6.75” wrist and the buckle/slider ended up in the same place as a NATO strap. Check out the pictures. It doesn’t bug me but I could see it being an issue for other people.

Very disappointed. The strap is cut way too long. Even when cinched up as far as possible, it is still slack and loose around wrist. The spring bars included with the strap are cheap frail junk. They break while being installed. The other parts are cheap stamped metal. Do not trust your watch to this strap. Spend a little more and get a better quality strap.

Great purchase. Compared to the official NDC patented straps, these are a little lower in material quality and less likely to age well and retain elasticity over the long course. That said, for the price being asked, you can just buy a few extras to swap around , there are no complaints!

Stabil, wertig, passen prima!

Después de haber cancelado la compra ya qué tenia varios días de retraso, sin más ni más llegó, se ve muy bien, siente muy bien, creo que podrían mejorar los herrajes por unos de mejor calidad, los qué trae se sienten delgados. Ahora debo ponerme en contacto con amazon para ver que procede.

I have other parachute style straps, but this is the first one that is continuous. I think this makes it more secure in the sense that with the other versions of the strap that I have (that look like more traditional, open-ended watch bands) if one of the strap bars break or if the latch comes undone, your watch could potentially fall off. This is more like a traditional NATO strap in that if one of the bars snaps out the other bar will keep your watch on your wrist. Comfortable, secure, attractive. You can’t go wrong.

Great quality watchstrap, and also beautiful, but you gonna need a big wrist to wear it right, mine is 7in and the watchband barely holds the watch in place even with the adjustment at maximum.
