    Full size titanium smp300 blue face.

    Love the Titanium bracelet, but would love to find a suitable strap.

    This hirsch gold almost works buy ultimately is a bit off I think.

    Tough to find a color match for the electric blue, almost purple, face.

    Any ideas?

    Tried that (it's on my speedmaster). Was not in love with that either

    I'm not so sure about that combo - the electric blue tends to look a bit weird with black natos, and the "Grey Border" nato is an acquired taste that tends to a tough match aesthetically.
    Note: none of these pics are mine, just found on web.....

    Maybe on a blue isofrane:

    Of on a blue Omega rubber (on SMP chrono, but close)
    [​IMG]
    Or somehow retrofitted onto a PO rubber (on a SMPc here):

    On the non-curved ended Omega deployment strap (on SMP Blue)
    [​IMG]
    It looks FANTASTIC on mesh, but you said straps, not bracelets:
    [​IMG]
    Possibly the new blue cordura Omega deployant (nee deployment) strap (on a SM300 Master Coax)
    [​IMG]
    And it could look fantastic on one of the Jean Rousseau coated nylon or leather natos - they are the OEM manufacturer of the Omega coated nylon and leather natos

    But yes, the bright blue dial and polished bezel is a bit tougher to match a strap with. Let us know how you decide and post pics!

    @rwilner...just putting this out there...a black nylon Rothco protective band ($5). Not too many people are a fan of this type of band (I'm a fan because it protects my Speedy Gonzales at work). Anyway, just an idea...

    @yinzerniner, you win the award for most helpful strap post ever.

    I think the codura is what I'm going to look for.

    I'm really not a big fan of the way Rubber feels. I do like isofrane...but I think it's a bit odd looking in an office environment, which is where I am most of the time.

    I would do the mesh, but I have a mesh on my ploprof already and I love variety!!

    Mad dog, cool idea but not for the office!

    No worries, just wanted to lend a helping hand since I'm a certified strapaholic.
    And I'm not sure if you've had a chance to try on or review the Omega rubber straps but they're of a totally different elk than others. They look like leather from any distance more than a couple feet away, and the newest ones that are fully waterproof have a nice wavy liner that helps a lot with cooling.
    I have a Hirsch performance on order to use with my Longines Legend Diver, and they look like they might actually take the cake over Omega for summer wearing comfort on a leather or leather-like strap, will post my views when I get it. The George, Tiger or Robby in blue could look striking with your piece:

    Actually I have a Robby on my citizen grab and go. The tiger looks like it could be a winner too, and its only a fraction of the cost of an oem omega

    I will see if I can find one locally and check it out.

    No worries @rwilner...showing up at the office wearing a seatbelt on your wrist could be undesirable. ;)

    Did you go to the Natick boutique yet? The service guy at that store is great and he will try every strap on for you

    Good point
    I want to go look at deployment straps but I'm scared to walk out with a Spectre AT
    Last time I bought the cologne

    I went to look at an SMPc and ended up buying the NATO only. Thankfully.

    I could be talked into a planet ocean chrono i think.

    I really do not need another omega Diver :)

    Thanks. I also purchased and tried a few other options...(hard to tell what would look good without trying)

    I've looked on the Jean Rousseau website as well as a general google but can't find mention of these natos? Where did you find them?

    Isn't it blue and green should never be seen? Looks good to me though.

    Just swapped out my bracelet on the AT for the OEM blue croc strap.

    Pretty happy with it so far.
