Fabric-strap watches
References in the Grail Atlas catalog factory-fitted on this strap or bracelet type.
Fabric straps (NATO, ZULU, perlon, sailcloth) are the casual end of the strap vocabulary. NATO straps (single-piece nylon, secured through both spring bars) originated as British Ministry of Defence issue in the 1970s and became iconic on the Rolex 5513 Submariner worn by Sean Connery in Goldfinger — though the on-screen strap was actually a regimental band, not a NATO. Perlon is a finer braided alternative. Fabric straps are inexpensive, fast to swap, and reduce a luxury watch's formality dramatically — which is either the appeal or the contraindication.
