Hello everyone!

I just got an OMEGA Speedmaster Reverse Panda as a birthday present from my dad yesterday. I recently posted another thread at first I was going to buy one as my own but I was so lucky to received it as a present. Currently I am wearing it with a brown leather strap. But I wanted to make it more outstanding so I am asking for help.
What kind of strap will be a perfect pairing with this Reverse Panda?

Here is what I am wearing with the Reverse Panda right now.


Thanks

 

More outstanding? You mean dressier?

A brown croc or matte black croc would look good.

 

More sporty. Wearing it with T-shirt, Denim & Sneakers

 

LOL

 

Thinking of getting something like this maybe a rubber strap would help it more sporty.

 

another idea is a white stitching brown leather strap or a black rally strap. Hard to choose all these.

 

I like the black rallye strap.

 

I like what you picked. Or try with a little darker brown in the same style. Here is a couple of pics of mine...

 

I like the brown strap you have it on.

 

Might make it a little darker

 

I would personally like it on a steel bracelet. (1171 with 633 end links I think? EDIT: nope!)

EDIT: I just noticed the OP has a Speedmaster Reduced which has 18mm distance between the lugs. My suggestion of 1171 defiinitely would not work as it is for Speedmaster Professional models with 20mm between the lugs.

 

The steel bracelet is not bad but I would want to wear the steel bracelet during winter but now its summer in my country and I prefer leather strap or rubber strap for summer.

 

To each their own. I find SS wears great in the summer, but then our "Average High" during summer months is only around 28 degrees C. I do live around a lot of fresh water lakes so humidity can be fairly high. I personally prefer SS if I'm in a 'sweaty' climate as I think leather generally turn a little more 'gross' when wet, but that might just be me. If my SS gets wet, I can easily rinse it off to get it fairly clean. If my leather gets wet, it tends to soak in (regardless of regular leather conditioning) and isn't so easy to clean.

One of my favourite black leather straps I bought years ago on the speedy

Plenty of sail cloth waterproof straps like the blue below in a heap of other colours great for summer

 

I live in Thailand in Bangkok. Its quite hot here outside around 38 up 40 degrees but throughout my day I spend more time indoor.

 

Both are cool!!! Love the holes on the black ones. What is this style strap called? (Black ones)

 

I will be there soon, April 23 and 24th. I have been several times before and have experienced your > 34 degrees. I am always shocked to see people outside in the sun, clothed in black colors with long sleeves and their faces covers. As a Canadian I think I would die of heat in a few hours...

 

Was a large hole rally strap IIRC

 

How about the Swiss Tropic? A current Omega buckle goes well with those, and it shouldn't cost the price of a used car in 18mm.

Here's a strap that has a sporty look but could still be used with business casual attire:



Bet it would look great on that Reduced.
