    Hi, Having sold my GST Chrono a couple of years ago, I have been very interested in the new Mark XVIII because of the availability of OEM Nato style strap. Scouring the internet, I failed to see a picture of the strap so far. Can anyone share a pic of it please? i would be very grateful, thanks.

    Hi,

    I've ordered one in the Boutique here in Schaffhausen but they will only be available in September/October so there won't be any other than the official pictures until then. If I get the strap earlier, I'll post pictures here on the forum. Some forum members took pictures at SIHH in Geneva, maybe there are
    some showing the strap here, so stay tuned...

    Hi Tom, do you know the lug width for that watch/strap?

    Best regards,

    Hi Bob,
    I want it for the CF3 so it should be 21mm. But being textile I think it will fit smaller lug widths as well. I have squeezed the strap of the VC Aquatimer in between these lugs and it works, though the lug width should be 22mm I think. No one ever noticed...

    Thank you for the reply. I hope your strap will arrive soon. I honestly am very excited for you.

    There's a downloadable PDF of the new Pilot range on the site and toward the back of this book there is a picture of a Pilot Chronograph with a two-tone NATO strap.

    Thank you! In my opinion the black Mark XVIII looks great on the textile strap. I wonder why they have postet the picture there.

    Love that nato strap for Mark XVIII too. This combo here stands out the most for me:

    Pretty cool combo!

    Cheers Chris
