Please help me find a strap for my CK 2998 Pulsometer

How about shell cordovan?

Have you thought about a Milanese bracelet?

I bought one for my C-case Connie (also 19mm lug width) and its nothing expensive - aftermarket by Geckota (...)

a JB Champion might be out of your budget, but the Forstner Komfit reissues won’t be...

Thanks I have a Rios in brown but for me it has the same downsides as other leather straps.




That Geckota mesh looks nice. Thank you for the input. But the price is rather low for a metal band. How is the quality?

I thought about a Komfit but to me it rather seems like a gimmick than a strap I would wear the watch in every day.

Hi,

I made a thread about the watch some time ago. So as you may know, I have a Speedmaster CK 2998 Pulsometer:

I love that watch... almost everything about it: The size, the look... but there are two gripes I have about it.

The first one is the readability. In a certain lighting it can be hard to read. But that's no big deal for me.

The second one is a bigger problem: the strap. Don't get me wrong. It fits the watch perfectly and I am afraid I will never find a better looking one. But I am just no leather guy. I don't like the feel of it and also how vulnerable it is. I even thought about selling the watch!

So do you have an idea for a rubber strap or metal bracelet? I read about people who use the the Speedmaster Racing bracelets with the FOIS - which should have the same case as mine. But they are a bit to expensive for me and some guys also reported that they scratch the casing.

Then I found some pictures of the watch on the 40 mm Speedmaster Racing rubber strap. That would be a great solution but I generally don‘t like big brandings on my stuft:

I also thought about getting an Omega Nato since that is about my budget (150 €) but there is none with all three colors the Pulsometer uses.


So I am grateful for any 19 mm strap idea other than leather for 200 € max that would let me enjoy the watch more!

They won‘t sell straps separately but offer them to you when you send in your watch to let them change it. So you have to have the officially matching watch.

That is a line of shit. Send that information to Omega in Bienne (or Biel, if you prefer) and they will shut that shit down forthwith.

Whoever told you that deserves to be fired.

Sorry I should have been more specific. I didn’t contact an OB or boutique, I contacted the German Omega support. They told my I can order the straps in a boutique and that they themself don‘t send out separate straps.
