Just a few months ago NYC-based Worn & Wound introduced their Model 1 Horween watch band, and the crowd went wild. The campaign was so successful, it allowed the young brand to strengthen their relationship with the Chicago-based tannery, resulting in the new Horween Leather NYC Nato watch strap. Traditionally made of durable woven nylon, Worn & Wound’s upscaled take uses the famous leather instead, for a slightly more sophisticated look. For the tradition-driven enthusiast, the straps’ unfinished edges retain the rugged spirit the Nato is known for.


Thanks to the slim nature of the Nato design, the narrow strap is a great way to freshen up a vintage Submariner or new Shinola. Available in three conventional colors—olive, black and graphite—with the option of matte steel or black PVD hardware, the NYC-made Nato straps are now available from Worn & Wound for $59.
