Hello everyone!

Just curious if anyone seen (or has pictures of) the new 300M rubber with folding clasp from Omega? My AD just got the email from Omega yesterday so I have a couple on order. Looking forward to it as I prefer the deployants.

 

I was wondering if such combination is possible. Would definitely buy one!

 

My AD received the new straps today. Will try to get them on ASAP!

 

Just saw preview of the Americans Cup Omega 300m. It comes with rubber that has a new feature quick release. They said this strap will fit the other current Seamasters with 21mm lugs.

“The watch is presented on a metal bracelet with an additional rubber strap, both featuring OMEGA’s new patented Quick Change system. It is driven by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9900 and is presented in a special presentation box in the colours of the America’s Cup.”

Is there a part number for this?

 

I'll try to get it to you. I haven't been able to get to my AD due to work.

 

Someone from Warsaw posted this in another thread.

 

Will this clasp fit an SMP 300 rubber strap?

 

It's a different strap for the deployant.

 

My SA at the OB said they're currently only available in black. He said he wasn't sure it would fit the diver 300M since it's an integrated strap. I guess this is for a PO?

 

I did

The strap is obviously different for deployant clasp than previous pin-buckle one. First of all the half without holes has different ending and no keepers, while the other half has different holes (standard round opposed to previous rectangular). It works with all standard OMEGA foldover / deployant clasps, so if you have one it's enough to buy the strap.

Very curvy pin in the previous one was a real pain in the a** in my opinion, very difficult to close and open, that's why I got rid of it a week after purchasing. Ended up with Snoopy 2 strap with deployant (the new version of rubber was not available at that time, which was summer 2020).

Here below photo of previous version, easy to spot differences.

 

Where you able to get this put on? Any pics? Thanks!

 

My AD is closed today, but I am planning to head there tomorrow. I'll post some then.

 

If you wouldn’t mind inquiring if Blue is available and sharing the cost that would be helpful too. I called my AD over the weekend and they have them on order. They “think” it’s available in blue but not sure until they receive the straps and think it will be in the $500 range plus taxes.

 

My guy at the OB said it's only available in black right now.

 

If these straps are anything like the rubber strap with deployment that is on my Omega Speedmaster Racing, the strap will be very comfy and with the added bonus that most of the clasp will not leave an imprint on your arm as the excess strap will be under the clasp.

I did not think I would like the rubber strap that came on this Speedy before the watch arrived but it makes the watch feel like it is not even on the wrist.

 

$500 is most likely the cost of the strap and deployant. Normally rubber OEM straps are around $250.

 

It is indeed available in both black & blue. My dealer had ordered both for. They are $500 + tax.

I did decide to pass on the black since my white 300M is already on the rubber w/tang. The $500 wasn't worth replacing it IMHO. However the blue was only on the bracelet, and now on the deployant.

 

Nice! I don't suppose you have a part number for the blue? Do you know if it's available without the deployant, or only sold as a kit? I have an Omega deployant I can use.

I am not sure if it is available as strap-only. In my case, it came as both from the factory in one package, but perhaps your OB/AD can check.

Side note: the deployant buckle was scratched by the Omega logo (where the pin is inserted) on both rubbers from the factory! My AD had to swap it out. Be sure to double check if you order one.
