Thanks - I had tried on the leather strap pictured above a few months back and wasn't crazy about it. The DSOTM black strap is definitely an option.

Just arrived - I'm really happy with it. It looks awesome in person and makes a great 50th birthday present. 馃榾

I'm looking for a strap (with deployant) to switch it up a little from time to time. I tried on the black dial version with the perforated leather strap while on vacation last week - I didn't really care for that strap. Would the Silver Snoopy strap with the white stitching fit this one? Spacing on the lugs on this is 21mm. Anyone have any suggestions?

Happy birthday. Looks great. Enjoy

Does anyone know if the spring bar ends of the DSOTM strap are straight or curved? They kind of look curved from the pictures I've seen but other Omega cordura straps look straight to me.

From what i know, only black, silver and blue.

I have the black. It鈥檚 nice. And for a rattrapante, value for money.

I think you got the alligator strap which is original to the white dial. The black racing strap with hint of orange is original to the black dial.

If anyone cares, I ended up ordering the strap and deployant clasp for the black-dial Speedmaster Racing (this one: https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-...ronometer-chronograph-44-25-mm-32932445101001) as I liked the little touches of orange in the perforation holes on the strap. I tried it on at the local AD and I think it will work for me.

Did the racing black strap work on the white dial?

Work as in does it fit? It absolutely fits, as the white-dial and black dial are the same watch (outside of the color scheme) with the same lug spacing.

Sorry for confusion. I mean work as in the visual/aesthetic sense.

Maybe, when convenient, post a pic for our viewing pleasure.

Letting the picture percolate in my head.

Seems like the white stitching works better than the hint of orange.

Oh well. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

True indeed - if it wasn't, Omega could never have created the White Side Of The Moon!

No worries - the strap hasn't come in yet (apparently the deployant clasp is back-ordered with Omega). I will post up pics when I eventually get it.

I agree that the black strap with white stitching would be ideal with the White-dial. I may eventually order a custom one from JR to get that.

Am mulling putting an all white leather strap on it.

Love the color but should lose the date. Some might say then it looks to much like the Daytona but that would make me happy. Also much cheaper and easier to buy.

Agree - love the watch, but when I tried it on I wished it had no date.
