I'm still loving my beautiful Apollo 8 after 3 years but I do occasionally wonder what I could switch out the current black/yellow racing strap on the deployment with.....

I've seen some cool yellow leather options and I'm intrigued to see it with some of these PVD shark mesh types (but the 21mm lug width can be a tad restrictive).

What have other members tried on theirs?

I put it on a Genteel-Handmade yellow goat strap with grey stitching, very summery. Didn't feel the need for the 'holey' racing look, just personal preference.

When I had mine a while ago, I had a yellow omega nato with the white outside. Went really well and kept it all omega which I liked.

I do like the yellow strap options above however

Whilst I like the Omega yellow Nato offerings, it seems such a shame to cover up the exhibition caseback and taht beautiful movement with a strap!

for my, the OEM black with yellow middle line Nato is all what i want!

Update: Nylon fabric/leather is now my preference.

I wish Omega would do an all ceramic black bracelet for both the Speedy and the Seamaster.

That would be a cool variation, but probably not cost effective.

Will be something new, but i don't feel it will be so safety. Cos even in real life, the bracelet gets dents and scratches more than the case itself, which make the ceramic very subjested to chop!

No more so than the case. It'd take a very hard hit to damage the bracelet. Regardless, I'm thinking more along the line of a one off or limited edition model rather than a replacement for the traditional steel bracelet.
