Does the Hamilton Khaki Field look good on a NATO strap?
The Hamilton Khaki Field looks excellent on a NATO strap — possibly better than any other strap style. NATO straps have the same military origins as the Khaki Field itself, and the two are a natural pairing. Olive and black are the most authentic color choices; khaki and brown NATO straps also work well. The Khaki Field's case back is engraved with Hamilton's 'since 1892' text, suggesting it respects its history — and so should the strap.
