As a former soldier in the British Army I'm used to wearing a NATO watch strap. For five years I wore the standard issue NATO Strap on both a G10 Watch and then a CASIO G-Shock during active service overseas. As a climbing instructor for my regiment I'd worn my NATO strap in testing conditions from the frozen peaks of the Rocky mountains in British Columbia through to sun drenched escarpments surrounding Gibraltar.
The NATO strap was a tough and reliable companion in all weathers and conditions.
Later on in Civvy street I was fortunate to travel the globe and my NATO strap was on my wrist when I surfed in the warm pacific waters of Indonesia and Australasia.
It was during this time that I started to wear multiple straps across several watches and the NATO strap became a stylish accessory to my outfit on a night out or even an interesting conversation starter at a business meeting with clients.
I love watches and I enjoy accessorizing my collection with alternative watch straps. (I've got some nice watches but my favourite is still the Seiko Pilots G2 Chronograph on a desert khaki NATO Strap that I wore as a Lynx Crewmember in Northern Ireland)
I've worked in Ecommerce as a business owner and Consultant since 2002 and during the last two decades I've worked with hundreds of brands and manufacturers to bring stylish and technically superior products to market.
This combination of product knowledge and reliable manufacturing contacts resulted in the birth of NOTO Strap store in 2018.
Our values:
Treat our customers as we want to be treated: respectfully, honestly and earnestly.
Use tough and durable materials and high quality manufacturing processes
(We use stitching with 600D thread instead of cheaper heat bonding along with solid steel instead of spring pins on buckles where possible to ensure strength)
Stylish Designs
We have hundreds of colours and patterns and finishes to choose from which means there's a strap for every watch and moment
