anyone managed to fit a DSOTM strap on a ceramic seamaster?

dinexus · Apr 28, 2020

Coulda sworn I saw someone selling a Ceramic Seamaster a few months back with a DSOTM strap, but I can't find any proof that anyone's ever been able to get one of these to fit the case - seems like the strap is just a hair too thick, and I'm worried it might rub or damage the case if it's compressed to fit.

I mostly wear my Seamaster on a NATO, but would love to get it on a the DSOTM if possible... Any recs?

A chap over on TRF fitted the DSOTM strap to his 300.

Omega lists both the DSOTM and the ceramic SM lug to lug width as 21mm and so it should not be an issue. I wear both on NATO straps of the same width and swap around without a problem.

It's not the lug width, it's the thickness of the strap itself, which makes contact with the 12 and 6:00 sides of the case. I actually have the deployant version, rather than the pin buckle version pictured above... Wonder if there's a difference in thickness?

Any pics of the deployment strap on the ceramic pro ?

The case is ceramic. Why would you be concerned that a Kevlar strap would scratch it Even if it is a tight fit? That’s supposed to be one of the main benefits of a ceramic case (and bezel), that they are more scratch resistant.

Not sure, honestly. Maybe I'm just paranoid? Guess I have a hard time believing that even an abrasion-resistant material could stand up to prolonged contact with a semi-abrasive (nylon/cordura) material, but I guess the only way to find out is to give it a try.
