·I blame James Bond. I mean seriously, a dive watch with the tuxedo? Shameful!

·I think a sailcloth strap works better with a dive watch than leather. Here's an Artem strap on a BB58 for an idea

·Its an entry level watch anyways, so you may wear it on a rubber band or a pice of string

I thought the string was bad, but now we're putting these on rubber bands??!?

·I still prefer dead animal skin over string.
That seems to fit the theme here at Omega forums pretty well, I think everyone would agree!

·Pierce Brosnan completely pulled it off, though.
I think the smp looks great on rubber, fabric, leather, whatever. And depending on your 'business', a white rubber strap might be just fine.

·It is a dive watch, steel/rubber only. Thus, wear it correctly at the weekend.
In work if you can’t hack it get a work watch to suit.
All the pictures above are just wrong.
Admin - close the thread, no more to discuss here. 😉

I like this grey suede strap. It's very business casual, matches the colorway of the OP's watch, and will also go with just about any business casual outfit choice.

·That caught my attention too. Not sure if the glossy dial of the new gen SMP will detract…

·For business casual at the office, just wear it on the bracelet unless you personally dont like how it looks with your outfit.
In that case, I 2nd the sailcloth suggestion.

To each their own, and again I know old rules are gone, but it’s an odd combination. I wear mine on weekends/evenings/outdoor activities, etc.
I never found it to be comfortable with a dress shirt/sport coat and always have issues with it not sliding nicely under my cuff.
Go with rubber for your business casual needs, it looks WAY better than leather on this watch IMO.

·I know anything goes these days…but…I would never put a leather band on this watch. Not for dress code “rules”, just because IMO it just looks strange and out of place on a diver watch head. It is not a dress watch and never will be and honestly they look weird when someone tries to dress them up. I have yet to see one on leather and think “Oh…nailed it, looks great”.
I'm curious if you believe this about GMT watches that have a 24 hour bezel.

I do not own a Rolex Batman, but if I did I definitely would not put a leather band on it….but that is just me, I’m sure there are people that love it.
Then again…WTF do I know I’m turning 60 this year so my brain is chock full of useless trivia and old habits that die hard. You do you, it’s a brave new world and almost anything goes.
If Kanye’s woman Bianca whatever can go to a party naked and we see it in the media I guess the watch band doesn’t mean jack sh**! 😏
