Looking for thoughts on the Omega black rubber strap for the 42mm Planet Ocean

If you're concerned about thickness of the rubberstrap, there's this version that will fit the 42mm 2500 PO.

has a taper, thinner, and all around more comfortable.

I'm thinking about getting the Omega black rubber strap for the 2201.50 42mm Planet Ocean. The model number is 98000144 for this version of the PO but I think Omega has different model numbers for similar looking rubber straps depending on the watch they go on.

I'm looking for thoughts on this rubber strap from a comfort and fit standpoint. I already know I like the look, but I'm concerned it might be too thick and not pliable enough to be comfortable. Some rubber or FKM straps don't have enough softness or pre-curved shape to comfortably wrap around the wrist. It's an expensive strap for what it is but I don't mind paying the money if the fit is comfortable. But it's wasted money if it's not comfortable.

Any thoughts would be welcomed. See the photos below for the type of strap I'm talking about.

Thanks!

BTW - I know Zealande makes a strap for this watch but I want to stick with Omega if I'm paying more than $100 for a strap. I already own a straight end black FKM strap that fits nicely and looks pretty good if I'm going the non-OEM route.

I bought a couple of straps for my SMP and other omega watches from Tempomat Straps , they have different options in FKM rubber and normal rubber and their price/quality is very good.


hope it helps

Have you considered the Aqua Terra strap? I used to use it on my PO LMLE - incredibly comfortable, tapered, deployment clasp and IMHO, looks fantastic.
