- A quick video showing the traditional method of installing a 5 ring zulu watch strap.
This method ensures no undue tension is placed on the spring bars of the watch.
I'm using my Seiko Turtle SRP777 as the model, and a nice strap from Nato Strap Co.

Genuinely didn't expect to see anyone do it right. That's a first for me.
Ohhhhh. I didn’t know about the step where you feed the end back thru the ring. This is awesome. Thank you.
Awesome. You are one of the very few that know what you are doing.
You wouldn't think this simple, instructional video would get the hate that it is. Clearly a lot of people can't tell NATO from Zulu straps.
I was wondering why my strap was uncomfortable to wear and kept slipping, now it fits perfectly, thank you.
Six years later and THANKS!
Finally! I've seen dozens of 'how to's on the five ring zulu and have seen dozens of ways to do it 'wrong' in my opinion and finally, this video makes sense. Thank you. I almost cut one of my rings off ... it was "locking those two suckers" that I wasn't doing and couldn't see how that would be comfortable. Cheers
this isn't a zulu strap. its a G10 style nato. zulus are single pass throughs without the foldover fabric. far as natos go u usually only pass the strap through the buckle once. the way he is doing it only shortens the strap for ppl with smaller wrists and honestly tying it through the last buckles like that doesn't offer anymore security than normal.
I've got an incoming leather zulu and this one just gave me an idea how work it on
Love that Turtle bro. I just got one to mod over Christmas. Great friggin' watch.
I have a problem with the holes fraying. I wonder why they don't reinforce the holes with a metal ring
there are moments, when I just feel glad I have learned something new, regardless of how ignorant I was, there are moments when I'm frustrated I got something wrong, because I just had no clue where to even look for the knowledge...
...but with this strap, I'm just a plain idiot xD no other way to sugarcoat it
Wow thank you!
Funny thing, I see a guy complaining that the two keepers in the end of the lower band of ZULU strap make rattling.
I just got a zulu band for the 1st time. I guess I must have super large wrists because if I do it the way in this video, then I only have the very last hole to use. If I just tuck it through the 2 rings, then I have 4 holes to use.
yeah its hard to find them in the right length if you have over 7-1/4" wrist, nato strap co sells xl zulus if you want to try one, my wrist is 7-3/4" for reference
@@thewristfund1595 My wrist is 8 1/4 can only get the strap in the first hole on the band also when I thread it like you have shown.
The best thing about this video was the music.
Thanks for this! The pictorial instructions were so confusing. Lovely watch too:)
Jaliya48 glad I could help!
Still can't figure out why it's designed to be uncomfortable...
Actually, it's not uncomfortable...just different. Doesn't take long for it to become natural.
perfect!
Thanks. I would have preferred a voiceover and not the generic beats.
Thanks.
Thanks!
Thanks for this!
This makes my strap too short.
My condolences
thx a lot! Now I know for what are the 5 rings! :)
thats not a zulu strap, thats a Nato strap.
No, it's a Zulu five ring. NATO straps are thinner with squared off, smaller buckles.
Looks like the most uncomfortable, bulky, watchband a person could come up with.
And yet it is not
welcome to the army, son.
Thanks for the uneccesary music & crap editorial.
You're welcome!
I think that is actually a 5 ring NATO, not a Zulu.
"Zulu" refers to the thicker material and bulkier rounded hardware style. You can have a 3 ring, 4 ring , or 5 ring configuration with Zulu straps. Of course with anything you can just disagree with me and think what you want!
@@thewristfund1595 Oh no, not disagreeing, just pointing out common knowledge. A proper ZULU doesn't have the retaining strap that keeps the watch from sliding off. A ZULU is just a single strap. I wear either occasionally.
Well... we disagree! hahahhahhahahah
He's right, though. That's a nato in the video, not a zulu.
According to this one site you have it wrong. 3 Ring Zulu is one strap. 5 Ring Zulu is similar to Nato.
www.natozulu.com/content/11-zulu-strap-vs-nato-strap-difference The round hardware, and beefier Nylon, makes the strap a Zulu.
This is a nato band, not Zulu.
Nato strap, not Zulu bro. To be more precise, its a G10 watch band - original version was Admiralty Gray. Look it up.
A real nato strap has *square* keepers and there is no extra loop on the second piece of material to lock the strap behind the watch. Phoenix currently makes the official British Military issue nato straps and they do not sell any zulu straps at all. Specifications for NATO straps also include welded seams, not stitched. For all these reasons the strap in my video is not a nato strap. I'd gladly be proven wrong with whatever documentation you have to the contrary. I appreciate your interest!
What video are you looking at "bro" ? It's a ZULU, look it up.
Soon out and slow the hell, down and shut the crap music off ,it all looked like a magic trick better yet ,dont.
Not a Zulu...
That’s just another way not necessarily the right way. I wouldn’t like the rings digging into my wrist. Maybe some people do. Just wear it the way that’s most comfortable to you.
Yeah this is a NATO strap not a zulu....
This IS a 5 ring ZULU
ok...
Can you show me a NATO with 5 keepers? Anyone? Anyone? ... Bueller?
Shite
Glad I could help!

I used this watch and a Bond Zulu in AFG.
I wore mine fighting off drunk Latharios in Cancun...where it was serving me well...until I spilled tequila on it... which somehow set off some sort of weird molecular event resulting in an elastic failure causing my bikini bottom to fall to the floor. However, my watch was still intact after much hand to hand combat during the beachhead landing(s). I'm sure I won..they looked beaten to me...and my landing craft suffered little damage, having taken on no large artillery units during the skirmish..
