  3. Hello from Mediterranean EU As currently here is as hot as it can get in a typical summer, wearing a watch with solid link bracelet is somehow not that comfortable as it should. Nor is the Explorer 1016 with solid link/folded link bracelet (in my mind) compatible with a sweaty wrist. So I tried a spare NATO strap I had for another watch, just out of curiosity on my MBW Explorer 1016 and here is the result: Watch: MBW Explorer 1016 ETA 2824-1 gen Spring bars- gen spec. "FASCI" Bracelet NATO 18mm The NATO strap was in my watch parts case for about a year. I had purchased it together with another colour combination in order to test which one would sit better on another vintage watch (heritage gen with 18mm lug width). So, I was tempted to try out the navy blue & yellow NATO on the Explorer and the result surprised me positively. I know the width of the strap should be 20mm but if you examine the current combination, a bit thinner NATO (18mm) is less dominant on the Explorer, allowing the case to "shine" more than the strap. If we speak about the experience of wearing the watch in the hot summer, the NATO strap allows the case to sit a bit higher on the wrist, so more air circulates around wrist and watch, further the weight of the 1016 is reduced for sure by 3/5. Personally, I think the Explorer 1016 is best worn with the solid link/folded link bracelet but a NATO strap brings in some diversity. As soon as the temperatures fall, the solid link bracelet will be back on the Explorer.
