    I just got an Aqua Terra 41.5 mm Golf Edition from my fiancee as a gift w/ the steel braclet. 231.10.42.21.01.004

    Looking into rubber options since I sweat a lot, am active and live in Texas..

    Any idea of what could potentially fit? I would preferably like to stay OEM and would want it to fit with the 94521833 deployment clasp.

    Thank you community!

    None of these rubber straps will fit the Seamaster he is using, as all are either wrong size, or are meant for other watches (Planet Ocean, Speedmaster, etc).

    The only rubber strap that fits the 41.5mm AT is going to be the blue rubber from the 2220.80 series, 98000210.

    I learn something new every day :thumbsup: thanks

    edit: I have a 2220.80 Seamaster and use the Isofrane rubber strap. Am I missing something?

    What's the issue with correct width rubber straps from other models? Springbar to case distance? I would assume the rubber has some give to it so curved strap options would work on slightly different radiuses from different case sizes.

    I'm not much of a help then if you intend to stay OEM but can only offer you an alternative. Why can't you guys post photos for God's Sake[​IMG]The watch belongs @lloidl & my 1st impression was " Hey !That's not bad at all! "
    That's a Rubber b from the Sub mounted on thinner spring bars to provide flexibility because the lug holes of the AT do not line up 100%

    IMG_1207.JPG Here's the ExpII on an Isofrane. I now have this watch on a Rubber B (much better) but no pics yet. I have this strap on the Seamaster, but again no pics. I guess I have some work to do.

    Fit issues. The integrated straps do not work with how much thinner the AT case and lugs are, spring bar holes are in the wrong position, etc.

    Vulcanized rubber has essentially zero give without re-molding the ends. Every single rubber strap Omega offers at this point is for a specific model of watch (POs have a different strap for even chrono and 45.5 time only).

    To add to @w.finkenstaedt see here for clarifications on Omega rubber straps:

    AT and SMP have similar case diameters, lug hole to case distances, lug length, so similar rules can be applied to both.
    Right now there's not a single curved-end OEM Omega rubber strap that will fit the AT the OP posted. You can do some home remedies like bending springbars, boring out the springbar holes in the straps, or other DIY surgery to try to MacGuyver a solution but there's none right now out of the box.

    Isofrane is a different story as it's not OEM with deployant. I was speaking of deployant only for the OP.

    Plus an isofrane would look awful on something as elegant as the AT.

    Wow thanks for all of your prompt and detailed replies! I like this community already.

    I like the idea of having a turn-key solution like the Blue rubber one you suggested w.finkenstaedt... if only it came in black as blue would look odd on my watch with a black face / green accents.

    I agree the Isofrane would look odd on a watch like the AT as well..

    Well, I may have to solve this problem by purchasing a Planet Ocean and going with leather / steel for my AT :p
