NATO on the 5960P was all the rage last year.....

Personally, I think there are better "casual" straps for the 5070 than the camo one.  But, different strokes for different folks I guess....

Enjoy!

Sacrilege? No.Just pure madness and a link with the Past.

A Nato on a 5070... I still have to find the good bars, and I think it will be a good option for this summer: Is that such a crazy idea? I don't think so. After all, the 5070 has some strong links with the Past, an era where 2 Subdials Chronos were someti...  

A sacrilege? No, not at all ...

even when I would prefer it on a "simple" nato strap - without camouflage. Great to see the 5070 together with brothers in mind. Thanks a lot, Nico. Oliver

I am hunting a light grey, and another black one, with some stitching.

I love these old chronos so much, and still have to try to find some 4 or 5 oldies... As for the modern, I have to do it again, with a Duometre, a Dato ( the first one, of course ) and a Vacheon. Maybe the G.O Rattrapante, too? Best, Nicolas.

Sure you can still ...

I agree

Pure madness. But if you like it with Nato, why not. Best, Kari

Thanks, Kari. When the weather is hot, which is not the case in France,

these last weeks, it wis worth saving yor croc. I don't see a bracelet on this watch, but a Nato, or an old leather tan strap, why not, indeed. Thanks! Nicolas

Raining in France?

 
 By: dr.kol : July 16th, 2012-10:58
You must be joking! If a couple of drops are falling from the Parisian sky, you call it a rain. But here in Estonia we are really swimming. I'm serious when I say that the water is coming from the sky with greater pressure than from our shower. A sign of ... 

Somehow puts the watch in context

I think it can be worn on a nato, why not? After all, it is a "simple" chronograph. Putting it next to other chronographs underlines that statement. A nice grey one would be best as darker colors would be too "aggresive" Well done! What a different betwee... 

Yes, this is one of the reasons which makes me love this Chrono.

 
 By: amanico : July 16th, 2012-09:07
Its obvious Vintage look. Count on me to enjoy my watches! :) Best, Nicolas

Funny , but actually

 
 By: cisco : July 16th, 2012-08:45
I do agree, this white gold version really reminds me of WWII chronographs, it is quite different from other 5070 regarding the effect done. I wouldn't put it on an ammo NATO but, definitely on a patinated leather, or NATO Leather. nice photo as usual Nic... 

You well know the provocative part in me, François. ;)

 
 By: amanico : July 16th, 2012-09:16
a " wiser " Nato should indeed do the job. Best, and thanks for your input. Nicolas.

Nato Everything

 
 By: Le Monde Edmond : July 16th, 2012-10:02
Dear Nicolas- you know I am for Natoing EVERYTHING. I love Nato in the summer, you can sweat and not worry about getting the leather ruined! However I would even love to Nato my Datograph however it does not work well: Platinum is too heavy. I think the s... 

A steel Patek... Do you want me to have more sleepless nights than I alreay have?

 
 By: amanico : July 16th, 2012-14:50
;) True, the 5070 has a heavy case. less dense than the Platinum Dato, though. But the centre of gravity of the 5070 is less high than the Dato, so I think it could work well. A combination to try, definitely. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Sacrilege no....

Agreed that the Camo is a bit provocative.

 
 By: amanico : July 16th, 2012-14:58
And that a classic Nato, in grey or black would work better. In Cordura, and we reach the excellence! Thanks, Asg, for your input. Best! Nicolas

So deliciously snobbish !

 
 By: dirost : July 16th, 2012-16:10
Hi Nico, Don't try to find any justification to the Nato in comparing the 5070 to older chronographs ;-))) (By the way, your Longines 30CH is a real killer). This idea to dress a 5070 with a Nato is just an ultra snobbish taste, very "Paris Rive Gauche". ... 

You're an excellent psychanalist, Didier.

 
 By: amanico : July 16th, 2012-23:06
That is certainly because I live on the Rive Gauche that I have all these strange ideas... :) These old Chronos are, in a certain way, the epitome of the elegant watch, for me. Very well balanced, not too big, nor too thick, and quite often, a suyperb mov... 

Wow. Thank you. ;) [nt]

I love it

My best mate 'retired' to Bordeaux (just outside st. Emillion) and sold his platinum travel time as he felt it looked too flashy for French tastes. I don't know if it's fair to show him how cool these platinum Pateks look on a NATO. Good choice.

White Gold, my friend, but yes, I find this combo very cool.

 
 By: amanico : July 25th, 2012-14:34
I just need to find a set of bars et voillà! ;) Best, Nicolas
