Much better with the buckle
Couldn’t be happier with the straps, well made - fast delivery and Jacko is a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended
I’ve had NDC straps before but this is my first single pass with buckle. Same great stretch material but with a more conventional buckle. Now my favorite NDC Strap.
I love how comfortable and sturdy this strap is!
Great strap-easy & fun to customise (scissors to trim, candle to seal, hot metal spike to make holes). Once you have the fit sorted the watch never moves & you forget you’re wearing it. The big advantage over a normal MN strap is that you can slip these onto fixed bar watches easily without tools. The soft, earth khaki looks old when new & the yellow stripe picks up the lume on vintage watches. And the slight ‘bunching’ that comes when you fit a 21mm strap to a 20mm lug is just part of the rough’n’ready character of the strap. Very happy!
How to fit an NDC Strap
Let customers speak for us
This is the most comfortable watch strap I ever owned, combined with the history a true masterpiece 🤙🏻
If you're looking for the original Marine Nationale strap, this is the one to get—it's the authentic version worn by the French Navy. The strap feels high quality, with a sturdy yet comfortable weave, and you can even personalize the metal hook with custom engraving for a unique touch. I’ve paired it with my Tudor Pelagos FXD MN, and it honestly feels like the strap was made specifically for this watch. Overall, I’m very happy with it and am seriously considering picking up another one for my Omega Seamaster Heritage 300.
The parachute elastic separates this from other straps — the material is more heavier and doesn’t have that sheen of cheaper elastic. The comparable-priced Erika’s is made from a different elastic and doesn’t come close. She makes good straps but the NDC strap that uses the Marine Nationale material is that much better. Watch the Urban Gentry vid if you’ve never sized these straps before. Watchistry, the collector who released a book on Marine Nationale Tudor snowflake subs loves them, too.
Compliments my green dial Citizen Promaster Tough to a tee, and very comfortable.
I had been looking for a new strap for a while but nothing really stood out to me like this one did. Rapid delivery, seems to be great quality and I’m very happy with how this strap looks on my watch. I’m about to order a second one.
Was recommended NDC and very impressed. Versatile, comfortable strap of high quality that's great for those times I need to wear over clothing. Cool collection of stickers and patches, quickly sent and well packed.
I have bought excellent straps over the years so the coin 🪙 was a definite purchase. Superb weight and detail and fast delivery

Much better with the buckle
I recently picked up an NDC strap and couldn’t be more impressed. From the very first impression, it’s clear that this is a high-quality, purpose-driven product. The materials feel robust and reliable – built to last, yet incredibly comfortable on the wrist.
The strap wears exactly how you’d want a military-inspired piece to wear: secure, no-nonsense, and adaptable. It sits close to the wrist without ever feeling restrictive, and has that unmistakable field-ready character. You can tell this design has roots in real-world use – it’s functional, practical, and tough.
Service from NDC was equally impressive. Communication was quick and personal, shipping was fast, and the strap arrived in solid, no-frills packaging that matched the utilitarian spirit of the product.
If you're looking for a strap with authentic military DNA, great wearing comfort, and excellent craftsmanship, NDC delivers in every way. A perfect match for tool watches and vintage pieces alike. Highly recommended.
It's a really nice, confortable and very good quality watch strap!
Perfect fit for my dive watch. Very easy to install and high quality materials.
