Was getting to the point where I was about to buy something so I bought a blue/grey nato from omega to scratch the itch. Came in a really nice package. But a question. Did I buy the wrong size? It came with 2 sets of spring bars, neither of which fit. One was too small and one was too big. The strap is 21-22 and seems a little tight with the original bars. Thoughts?

The distance between lugs on your Seamaster is 20mm. The correct size for the Omega NATO strap for your watch is the 19-20mm option.

Well dang it. They seem to be completely out of stock of the 19-20mm.

Looks great! If able maybe return it and wait it out for the correct size. Great color choice.

a metal file to increase the space between the lugs? kidding! 😁 the color/design on that strap is a perfect match for the watch! 👍

Perfect excuse to buy a new watch to fit the strap...

Just put my 2018 300M on a NATO this weekend. I had it on rubber.

I love that blue smp without the wave dial! Beautiful

You can have your local watch shop make curved spring bars out of the ones that are too big. That way both the spring bars and the NATO strap will fit your watch.
