i am looking for a short, and thin Nato Strap, the one that came with my Alpin Startimer Pilot, is:
260mm (without the buckle)
and 1,1mm thick (i have found some that are around 1.2mm which is no problem)
when i was looking for new Natos i was surprised to see that most are around 290-300mm long the one on my Alpina is as said 260mm without the buckle it fits very well and comfortable. I wear it as a single pass ( no i did not cut the second Strap/ Flap to secure the watch) i wear the buckle and 2. strap flap under the wrist and because it is thin and not to long it is comfortable and not cumbersome. So normal Nato or single pass is fine. So in short i am looking for a short and thin Strap and really could not find the length I would prefer to not shorten it myself but would be open to it ( only if i would not have to shorten it between the holes)
thanks i am looking forward to you're recommendations and sorry for the strange question

It's too short for me at about 254mm. Maybe it would suit you.

If you’re looking for plain, green, black, or grey, you’ll have more options, and eBay.
Length is 290mm not including the buckle, but because they are so thin, you can fold them back over themselves at least 3 times without any real bulk under the wrist.
If that’s not an option, then cutting them is really easy. My preferred option for a clean finish is to clamp the strap between 2 coins, to give a rounded finish, then cut following the profile of the coins with a very hot thin blade.
Try Crown & Buckle Chevron straps, it is a single pass strap with a proprietary buckle that allows you to adjust the strap length. Best of luck with your search!!!
Strap Mill Canada makes beautiful straps that are always too short for me. SMC Strap Mill Canada is their website, but I think they sell them cheaper through Ebay.
As others have said, Crown and Buckle Chevron straps seem to meet your criteria. I would add Eulit perlon straps as another suggestion. The Eulit Kristall model is the thinnest. They are comfortable, breathable, infinitely adjustable, and tough as nails
+1 for the Eulit Perlons! I have both their Kristall and Panama straps. I love them both. No bulk whatsoever, no extra strap to try and find something to do with; they're adjustable to the exact length that you want which is great when your wrist expands and contracts in the summer; they dry fast; they're washable; and I agree with stratfan95: they are as "tough as nails."
Was just about to say (but others beat me to it) that Crown & Buckle chevron straps are adjustable and can be just about as short as you want. They are also single pass, and very durable. In fact, I’m wearing one right now…
