NATO and the Madrigal collection form an unbeatable alliance Balmain has adorned its Madrigal timepieces with colorful NATO straps, marking a first for the Swiss watchmaker. Embracing modernity and comfort, these textile straps complement and accentuate the collection’s sporty spirit. A harmonious interplay of colors, these straps come in five distinct shades that perfectly complement the hues of the dials. For the first time in its history, Balmain is offering watches with NATO straps in its Madrigal collection. With roots in 1970s military watches, these now-trendy straps have earned a reputation for durability and infuse the watches they adorn with a spirit of adventure. The new Balmain NATO straps are a perfect match for the Madrigal collection, accentuating its sporty spirit, exemplified by the latest-generation Swiss chronograph movement that sets the pace for these 42 mm-diameter models. Thanks to their soft, supple fabric, they’re also extremely comfortable and pleasant to wear. Decorated with clearer lines, the new Madrigal straps are available in a wide choice of colors that perfectly complement the hues of the dials. The versions with steel bezels are available in two types of blue, ice or dark, and in deep green, while the pink PVD bezel perfectly complements the bronze reflections of the brown model. Finally, in a play of elegant contrasts, the yellow PVD version is paired with a black strap and dial. Both modern and classic, the new Madrigals can be worn at any time of day, from the workplace to leisure activities to elegant evening events. They will suit even the most discerning of wrists.
