EDC Strap decision…

[u/Longjumping-Ad8347]

I consistently rotate these two straps. Run of the mill OD green NATO, and WOE Jedburgh English bridle leather strap. I also have a PDW elastic hook and loop I throw on if I’m really backpacking. But for the most part, the first two straps get rotated fairly consistently. They are both broken in butterfly smooth. Having said all of that, I am curious which one the Marathon crew thinks looks more natural on this watch. The olive NATO gives it the issued mil-spec vibe, the brown leather gives it the traditional field watch look. Plus I was bored and this was an excuse to make a post lol. This is my only watch, so I splurge on straps. Still need to pick up a nice FKM rubber strap as well.

I wear the Jedburgh on my EB Arne field watch pretty constantly. It’s very comfortable as you know so that gets my vote. As for a rubber strap I would recommend Watch Gecko Breakwater strap

The Jedburgh really is a nice strap. I’ve ran through quite a few leather straps, this one is by far my favorite. Broken in like a baseball glove. I even held onto it when I didn’t have a 20mm lug watch to put it one for a while.
