When I put the Deepstar 39mm on a NATO it felt as though the strap made the case feel much thicker and more top-heavy on my wrist. Switching back link to the included link Tropic rubber, the difference is remarkable and it highlights just how much a specific strap can help to manage the way a watch interacts with your wrist and link manages its own bulk. The rubber wears flat and comfy on my wrist while also perfectly suiting the overall style of the Deepstar.

Speaking of IWC, if you know a little bit about TOPGUN (the link real-life Navy Fighter Weapons School) then you know that IWC link watches loom large in that world. There are special IWC models that are only available to instructors and students. IWC calls these "Strike link Fighter Tactics Instructor" (SFTI) models and they come in both Mark XVIII and Chronograph variations. These watches appear in droves in this film.
