I’m considering putting my 8900 white face/orange bezel on a rubber strap for summer. What are some different options you all are wearing that one on? I’ve seen it on the black w/ orange trim Omega rubber. I do like the nato option they sell, but really don’t want to make it sit any higher.

I’d want to bring some blue in—big fan of orange and blue. That said, I might not bother with oem Omega. Great straps but way overpriced. A good quality aftermarket will do just fine.

Agree. A lot of different shades of blue would work, something like the navy from artem would probably look fantastic (not technically rubber). @jwold recently purchased a strap for his PO from Zelande that looks sharp. There are a number of Tropic options that come in various colors that look classic (synchron makes one).

White and black would also work pretty well as options with your watch imo. Blue and orange is just such a classic complimentary pairing though, if you could nail the right color blue it'd be pretty fantastic looking

Any aftermarket integrated options that you were able to find?

I got the Omega rubber black orange accented, a Hirsch waterproof dark brown leather, and Barton black rubber. I switch between all along with the original steel. I cant make up my mine which is best. More of a mood thing. They all work fine. I did not feel a need for integration.

I love your Meisterstuck--I have one too

My current config: the blue alligator/rubber that comes with the blue dial model.
How is the water resistance of that band? I may need to add yet another strap…

I actually don't know. It's rubber lined, and has been wet from rain with no issues but I haven't taken it underwater. If I plan on swimming I'll probably swap to my other full rubber strap or the bracelet.

Debating getting the gray and orange strap for the Creamsical. @sah you have the black and orange, how well does the orange trim match the orange dial numerals?

Hey @Scooterino36, I have the grey-orange Omega which I wear on my creamsicle sometimes… I really like it as an option, and it’s a solid, good looking combo imho…to answer your question specifically about the matching of the trim and dial numerals, I don’t think it’s the same color, but they match/go-with each other very well. Pics from past use…

On my black and orange rubber, the colors are definitely different. I dont think mine was designed specifically for the creamsicle. I noticed the difference when I first got it but I dont think about it 2 years later. Im actually more concerned about all the lug scratches from changing straps so often.

all black with white stitching
The metal bracelet of the Creamsicle is most beautiful, but the rubber strap definitely feels the best to wear for day after day use.

Does anyone happen to know the part number for the creamsicle nato strap (orange/white/grey). I've been scouring but no joy yet. TIA. I have one coming in from a fellow member, though I think the blue rubber is gong to be a winner.

I dont know the part number, but you could call/and/or order from an Omega Boutique. I got my rubber strap that way from the Bellagio Boutique in Las Vegas.

However, I would worry that with the NATO strap, the watch would be sitting extremely high off the wrist pushing 20 mm. Definitely could not be worn with any kind of long sleeve jacket and expect to slide easily over it.

Thanks. That’s where I ended up after searching quite a while. Found an almost lookalike version n etsy but think it lacked refinement in the colors and stitching and likely the fabric. Stopped by the OB today and ordered. Took them a bit to find it as well. It’s not in the catalog.
