Watchmaker Georg Jensen is known for his simplistic yet well-detailed designs, two of the designer’s finest examples being the Koppel 317 and 318. They’re modern and perfect for just about any occasion, but if you’re looking for the timeless face with a more standout strap, this is perfect. Georg Jensen’s dropped the 317 and 318 with NATO straps to really switch things up. The prices are welcoming and the designs work well with the colorful straps. Really well actually. (via GQ)

The Victorinox Swiss Army Original watch is really a great looking timepiece at an affordable price point. The details are immense and the design’s really well thought out.

The stencil-cut dial looks great and also shows the date. It’s water-resistance to 100 meters and comes with a matching NATO strap available in navy grey, commando black, desert beige or khaki green.

On September 22, 2011 in Monaco, Harry Winston will be offering up this one-off Midnight GMT Tourbillon as part of this year’s Only Watch charity auction. The bezel discreetly bears three distinctive arches of the Harry Winston’s New York Salon atop a platinum case crafted exclusively for Only Watch.

The NATO watch strap has turned into a pretty iconic accessory and this latest design really trumps most of the comparable varieties out. These nylon straps have some selvedge denim inspiration behind them and come in both a 18mm and 20mm fit, though I’m sure a lot of folks would love to see a 22mm version as well. (via highsnob)
