    Hello, I searched and came up empty. I just purchased a 41 Black Aqua Terra on a steel bracelet and want to get the rubber strap. I was about to buy from my AD, but wanted to check here to see if there’s a more cost-effective place to source one. I emailed Jomashop and checked a few other sites, but they don’t seem to stock these.

    Thanks.

    Not the OEM, but I went with a Hirsch Performance on my AT 41 -- there's a deployant option, but I went with the buckle. Not the OEM in terms of perfection of fit, etc. but a very well-made strap that didn't cost 1k+ (in Canada).

    Rarely will you fine new Omega parts and accessories from a third party cheaper than directly from Omega/Swatch. Third parties and some dealers will mark them up quite a bit.

    You can call Swatch Group directly to order most Omega accessories and some parts along with a small shipping charge. You will need the part numbers, and keep in mind that they will not sell some parts to end users. A regular, non special edition strap and buckle/clasp should be no problem. You will need to have the part numbers for the strap and the buckle/clasp and possibly the serial number for your watch.

    Just contact Omega (email) and they will forward your request to a Swatch Group rep who will instruct you on how to place your order.

    Thanks, guys. I want OEM & don’t mind buying from my AD who is not marking up the strap. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing a better price elsewhere.

    I just ordered a blue rubber strap for my 38mm blue dialed Aqua Terra from the Omega boutique in Charleston, SC.

    The price was $250., which surprised me quite a bit as I've usually seen them from $350. to $500. online. They also quoted a price of $250. for a buckle, which I also typically see online for $350. to $500. I spoke with Matt. [email protected] 843-722-2073

    My reference was to the website you posted, their parts are marked up many times over MSRP for the few I cross checked.

    100% the above link is over priced…..


    But the OB in Atlanta and my favorite AD (Moyer Fine Jewelers) https://www.moyerfinejewelers.com/ is very reasonable in the prices.
