Yup, Officially all the Blancpain Natos, for all the Bathyscaphes ( and Fifty Fathoms ) now have the fabric keepers, even the Sedna Gold version.

Jomashop and some other sellers show the old versions in stock. There is a black/ceramic nato strap on the Bay, think it's around $1200. I tried to get an Olive strap with gold fittings to go with my gold Fifty Fathoms last time I was in the London Boutique, they had the black/gold available, I'd have to order the olive strap seperately and i think the total came to a little under $4k.

Ended up getting a canvas one with brushed "Rosey" gold off Amazon instead.
