I'm still debating this strap, if only it was a tiny bit cheaper I'd pull the trigger.
To clarify - have you guys gone for the 20mm or 22mm? as Nato's tend to be a bit oversize.

I've put a 22m on my Noob 42m PO. It was a bit of a tight fit to get it on, but after a couple of days it's bedded in and is fine[emoji106]

I got my Phenomenato strap some days ago. The quality and wear comfort are excellent.

That's encouraging to see! As I have a PO also and was debating which size to get as the lug width of 20mm opposed to the Spectre's 22mm caused even more distress! How much of a battle was it to get on?

I presume you were referring to my post? It's wasn't a major challenge, just a bit stiff. I didn't need to force it or anything. Hope that helps. [emoji106]

Hi guys, found 2 versions of the polished Bond strap on PhenomeNato's site - the HD is slightly thicker at 1.35mm vs the normal at 1.20mm, which is closest to gen in terms of thickness?

Gen Omega is 1.4mm thick, so actually thicker than both, but the material is a little different. So the "standard" Phenomenato feels a bit softer than the Omega, and the "HD" feels a bit thicker, regardless of their thickness.

I've got the standard on it's way (22mm) for my Spectre. I tried to find the thickness of the gen but came up blank so went for the thinner as I knew it would be the most supple. Looking at those sizes now, I'd probably have gone for the HD. Time will tell

Made a little mod to my Phenomenato strap


Very cool. I tried that with a cheaper Bond Zulu Nato, replaced the keepers with the Omega replica keepers. However the replica keepers were quite sharp and would fray the Nato, which disappointed me. It's what drove me to invest in a genuine Omega Spectre Nato. Let us know how it holds up for you.

Can't decide between the standard and HD. Anybody that owns both, which one do you prefer?

Standard will be sufficient for most people.

I am way too scared to mod this into something that resembles gen. But in the off chance that I'll be dead bored, I might pop up in here with my massacred phenomenato.

Hey guys, I was looking into getting the Bond Nato from Phenomenato (after hearing many good things!), but I'm not too sure whether I should go for the 20mm or 22mm version? I've got a SPC300 rep, and I'm not sure which would fit it better considering that the lug width is about 21mm? Thanks guys!
