NTTD fit, too loose/tight

Obviously some people like their watches looser or tighter. The NTTD mesh is an odd one since the design makes the bracelet lay more oval, resulting in a pressure point from the back of the watch and the clasp. Bracelet is the small.

For me, the bracelet leaves no pressure on this hole, but has a big gap on the sides, this is all the way on one side. When in the middle it's less noticeable. The watch slides up and down the wrist but doesn't rotate. It's more comfortable, but looser than how I normally wear my watches.


On the next hole, the side space is better, but now the clasp and watch are squished on the wrist. Not terrible, but leaves a light mark on the skin. The watch can't slide around either, but I can push it up and down. The fit looks better, but I'm not a fan of the sandwich - like pressure. Also notices that the bracelet and clasp run on each other quite a bit scratching the inner side.


I've read that this is a known issue with the bracelet, curious if anyone ever found a solution. I've been bending the bracelet which made the fit better.

I've also tried wearing it backwards, and since that flips the clasp on to the ulnar side which is naturally smaller, it is a little comfier.

Have you tried the other length of the bracelet? Omega has two sizes for the NTTD. Try it out in a boutique, it could help.

Yes. I have the small one. Tried the regular and the overlap was quite far.

If you won't make the mesh bracelet work for you, then Uncle Straps has some nice titanium bracelets for the NTTD, may be worth checking them out.

Yeah, me too. Loved the watch but the bracelet just didn't work for me, and I HATE aftermarket and nato straps. So I sold it to pay for my FOIS.

That is just kinda how it is unfortunately. You get used to it in about a week or 2 of wearing. You can also slap on the NATO if you want to.
