Key Points from the Discussion

The strap featured is identified as an older type of nylon, often called a regimental or perlon strap, distinct from a NATO strap.
Vintage perlon straps are noted for their softness and 'rich' feel, which makes them comfortable to wear and less likely to cause damage or scratches to the watch.

The colour of the hands and strap match well.

But this vintage perlon straps are so soft, that there is hardly any damage or scratch risk. They feel like soft cloth, even silky. Best. René

But it is not a NATO, this is an older kind of nylon strap, sometimes called regimental strap. You can search for them by the generic name of perlon straps, and find some nice vintage ones at good prices. The material is softer and had a more “rich” feeling than a NATO strap. Regards. René

I'd compliment it at a pub! Overall, maybe though, I'd choose a non-Nato.
