Am I late to the party.............?
Well, lovely watch, great catch and in cracking condition. The EQ was sold until the mid 1970's so it's not unfeasable that it came on the n27 14mm deployment, I love these bands and have one on my ed white (a rally version) at the moment
I really don't think that strap choice necessarily needs to be absolutely right. As mentioned I have my 64 ed white on a mid 1970's chronostop rally at the moment, it looks awesome!
The Chronostop came with a mesh or a Corfam strap (both on the adjustable clasp). Corfam was a synthetic leather made by DuPont.
Firstly the OP watch is amazing, correct strap or not, can I call dibs on it?
Secondly I have two chronostops that both came on leather deployment straps. Old catalogue pictures show them with rally straps, mesh bracelets, ordinary bracelets etc.
Play nice, there's nothing wrong with someone questioning what the correct strap for a reference is, but similarly ensure you do so in a respectful way.
I think we crossed the line from questioning, and into dictating.
Which given I'd made no claims as to originality, was just straight up weird. 馃槈
I think otherwise, which is why I changed the title, someone presented an alternative theory and put it up for debate, there's nothing wrong with that.

The original design of the cases and the left crown was a specific design and marketing ploy at the time by Omega in that this watch as accurate to 5 seconds per months as opposed to the best chronometer movement by omega at the time of 3SPD and as such the owner would not need to regularly adjust the time.
