I just bought a stainless Globemaster and selected the bracelet version. It was a real toss-up between the black leather band and the bracelet, yet I ended up with the bracelet. Being the kind of guy that wants both cake and ice cream..., anyone know if Omega sells the leather band/deployment buckle? Any pointers appreciated. It's a gray market watch if that matters.

 

The different strapping options available for the GM MC is right up @Longbow 's alley

 

Omega definitely sells strap/deployant separate. $280ish for clasp, $400 for alligator.

Was at the Omega Boutique in the Seattle area last week and quoted $280 for the deployant clasp, and the alligator strap (blue and black, not sure about other colors) for $400.

Congrats on your acquisition! How about some pics?

 

If you want to save money on the strap I recommend this eBay seller: vnhandcraftart. I've bought several from him. They are not the same, but for 1/10th the price they are just as good. Place the order...forget about it...and it will show up a month later.

 

Strange. I missed this despite you using the "@Longbow" thing.

Anyway. The black leather OEM strap on my blue dial SS Globemaster isn't black, it's a very dark blue. I don't remember seeing a true black one, but the white dial model (130.33.39.21.02.001) looks like it might have one. I purchased an extra dark brown strap for mine but I have to say it's not as comfortable as the OEM one supplied with the watch, is less well made and has a different hole pitch so hard to find the right fitting (for me).

As for the Deployant clasp you could try one from Watch Obsession in the UK (£32.75) if you can't stomach the full Omega price:-

There are also plenty of other straps that you might want to consider (ever thought of shark mesh?)


Good luck

Longbow

 

I tried on the white dial last week. The strap is dark grey.

Ah, so that explains the strange washed-out image on the Omega website...the strap really IS grey.

@Benjo74, I seem to have lost track of your original story...did you buy in the end or are you still looking?

 

It's a very dark grey, almost black but definitely grey.

I didn't buy yet - heading to Blowers in London on Monday to close the deal. Assuming all is well with the Globemaster, and assuming they don't change their mind on my trade-in, I hope to be posting a photo of the new watch on Monday.
