I like them but they really start to smell if you get the wet too much

You need PU coated cordura if you want it to not take water and smell. Its whats sometimes used in motorcycle clothing.

Wow that Laco looks great in that strap! Shoulda made that one of my top 5 for the givaway. I always wanted the type B dial, but that full lume white dial with retro hands on that strap 👍

I've never actually bought a Zulu strap, I just prefer the NATO hardware but a watch I bought recently came with a quality 5 ring Zulu & I never realised that the hardware helps to hold the tuck down really well compared to a NATO, I've enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. I did convert it to a 3 ring though to reduce the bulk a little.

So many exhibition and nicely engraved case backs nowadays a quick release 2 piece is the way to go for me . Great quality and look ,seems worth the premium price but would like to see how they look after a year or 2 to be sure ,

True2022 - Good point. I recently bought a relatively high end leather Flieger Strap from ( of all places) Aliexpress. $39USD on Ali, but it would sell for around $100USD min in a boutique and probably around $70-$80 on eBay. It arrived a month ago, looks *incredible* on my Seiko Flight Master and is only now starting to really wear in. I can tell already that strap will be be going strong in 10+ years. I normally pay no more than $10 for a canvas strap and I have never been disappointed - but I have been pleasantly surprised!

Looks like a perfect summer strap for my Vixtorininox INOX. Hopefully they have a 21 mm strap. I feel like if I tried to put on the single past trap I would end up losing all my Spring bars.

Oh man, I really covet some Vario Straps. I think they are priced fairly for what you get (not that I have owned one, but it's pretty easy to see the quality and attention to detail in YT reviews such as this one) however, being in Australia, the conversion to AUD + postage + tax + duty means they come in at roughly double the listed USD price for me. 😶 Bummer! That brown leather / black cordura 2 piece looked TERRIFIC on your Laco and the military green single-pass Zulu on the Diver (Spinnaker?... I didn't pay close attention) looked great too. The Harris Tweed straps they offer? They are incredibly distinctive and give watches such a Unique look. Great products I think. I'm waiting for "the" watch that deserves a Vario Harris Tweed strap so I can justify buying 2 or 3 other straps...just to save on postage.! Another great vid. Dave. You always seem to come up with something that I'm really interested in knowing more about. Thank-you for your hard work.

Yes we have customers who buy 3-4 straps at a time to enjoy a better discount. :)

VARIO : Yup. It's just part of the realities of being in Australia. It can make an otherwise good deal not so good unfortunately, especially when the shipping component is a large portion of the overall price. Keep up your creative spirit at Vario! You guys are putting out some terrific product!

Nice straps! I bet if you waxed it for extra water repellent results it would be the ultimate field watch strap! 👍👍

David Schwartz - Do you wax your nato and / or leather straps? I know of the various leather treatments available, at least here in Australia, but I have wondered about products you can use to "seal" a nato / zulu.

Vanguard Coffee House I have not personally but the process from what I’ve seen seems pretty easy by using beeswax. Saw some how-to vids on KZfaq and was going to try it with a canvas jacket but had not gotten around to it.

Ali express sells silicone keepers in all colors and sizes to eliminate the long tail problem, works great.

I never found the solution to the issue. I didn't like the look of silicone. I had considered an additional Cordura keeper but maybe its a bit too much?

I modelled these after G-Shock's Cordura strap and they didn't add the rivet on the backside and could slide through spring bars but I thought the rivet would make it more sturdy and hence opted for it.
