Hey!

Picked up the rubber strap for my Speedmaster Pro. Medium size, model 032Z017245.

I am aware they make this in a smaller version which I haven’t had the chance to try, model 032Z017246.

My question is, does this look silly on me? I love the strap, and I love that there isn’t multiple holes showing, and I also like the fact the metal clasp doesn’t drag along my desk, but I can’t get over the fact the foldover clasp is all the way at the end of my wrist.

I’m considering exchanging for the smaller size, but again I will be doing that without the opportunity to try it on. The issue is, this one fits my wrist perfectly and is super super comfortable. Just wondering if it looks absurd with the clasp in its current position.

Appreciate everyone’s thoughts.

I think it looks great. I alternate between the same bracelet and the stainless bracelet and love both. And, since you said it's "super comfortable" even better. Just enjoy it.

Looks great! Why would it look "silly"? I think the folding part is where its supposed to be, on the flat of your wrist and dont seem "absurd" to me. The most important thing is that its as you say " fits my wrist perfectly and is super super comfortable " dont get any better than that.

Overall it is a great combo with the white dial, black rubber and folding clasp.

That is the perfect position for the clasp and I wish my strap was more like that than centered. I make my clasp that position when on a bracelet. The reason is because when the 6 o'clock side is as short as possible, the watch head doesn't slide down when raising your arm to tell the time. Try wearing the watch upside down, and you'll see how annoying the opposite position is.

The clasp is where it should be. I think this strap size is the right fit for you

What you really want to avoid is the excess strap beginning to come out from under the rest of the strap. I have a 6.5” wrist and ended up ordering the small version for that very reason.

I think it looks great. Was torn between rubber and leather as an alternative to bracelet. Went leather in the end and love it.
Will leave on leather until the weather cools then swap back to bracelet

Do people think that the Omega logo part of the clasp is supposed to sit center of the wrist? Isnt it obvious that the blades on the underside of the clasp is suppose to be centered to the wrist...

It's okay just like you're showing in the pic.

What matters most is comfort. The hinge part of the clasp is curved, supposedly seamlesly matching the curve of the wrist. If the hinge pierces your wrist, then it is a poor fit. If you center the clasp head to the middle of your wrist, then the curved end will protrude past your wrist curve.

If you are not satisfied with the fit, just buy a tailor-made shorter aftermarket Omega deployant-compatible strap, there are plenty of options out there.

Just to add my 2 cents, the fit looks rather ok. I would get a custom strap that is by 1 cm shorter to move the clasp a bit closer to the center. But as I say, if it is comfortable for you, then it is a good fit.
