Hello Everyone

I am looking for a replacement strap for my new watch, the NATO is OK but I would like something else that turns this into a more "bussiness" like watch. I would realy like to go for brown leather.

Would you guys be kind enough to guide me into what size the new strap needs to be? Any sugestions on colors and models are gladly appreciated!

You can see more info on the watch here: http://www.omegawatches.com/collection/speedmaster/moonwatch/presentation/speedmaster-apollo11

Thanks

Andres

 

The lug width for Speedmaster straps are 20mm. Hirsch straps are an option that i'll recommend and seem to be a community favorite - http://www.hirschstraps.com/

Thanks a lot for your input, I am leaning towards this strap: http://www.hirschstraps.com/collect...-crocodile-suede-leather-watch-strap-in-brown

It will look kickass in my opinion, bad thing is I have to wait till March to get my hands on the watch

Cheers

Agree with @DLT222. I think the NATO strap has no style. I replaced mine with a Titanium braclet and could not be happier.
Looks like it should have been there in the first place.

 

Any chance you could post some pics of the watch with a titanium strap? I though about this but my main concern was that the color of the strap wouldn't match the color of the watch

Would you be kind enough to tell me what model would work? I am only starting at the watch hobbie....

Best Regards

 

Not wearing it today, but will post a shot or two when I get home from work. I believe it is the same bracelet that comes on the Seamaster Titanium but will confirm from the invoice.

 

The X33 bracelet fits and I have it on mine. If you search here for the 45th you will find pics of it.

 

I think @hkrauss has taken one of the more beautiful pics of this combination, many of us, myself included, put the X-33 bracelet on the 45th, and think its a perfect match. Omega part # for the bracelet is 020TIZ000765

 

That looks awesome! Thanks for the info and reference #

It adds quite a lot of value to the final assembly (in terms of how my wallet is hurting) compared to a leather strap.... but my guess is that this stap will last forever

Will have to sleep on it for a few nights, I was pretty sold on the leather strap before this

This was my first post on this community, thanks a lot to everyone for their input and help

Cheers

Just joined the forum to see the pics of the 45th on bracelet. I own this watch and have it on NATO righ now. I also have a custom brown gator strap coming to go with the titanium deployant.

Any day I'll have the bracelet it's been shipped, but the pics here on this forum make me very nervous. While people are saying the sky walker bracelet fits it sure doesn't look like it to me in these recent pics. The end links are higher than the lugs and there is a gap at the case. I am concerned I wasted a lot of money on people saying this fits.

It looks to me like the bracelet is loose that would mean a lot of metal to metal wear as the end links and case rub against each other.

 

The X-33 bracelet fits well, its perfectly snug between the lugs, and also flush against the case. This is the same fit as the standard stainless bracelets for Speedy Pro's. Given the Speedmaster Pro has twisted lugs, it means its not going to have that absolute machined perfect fit along the twist. You are over thinking this @gttime

 

Thanks for the input. Makes me feel much better. In a couple days I'll have the bracelet in my hands.

 

Looks good to me...

Also incredibly light. Incredibly.

 

Yep, first thing everyone says when I take off the watch and let them handle it is "wow, this is really light"

 

Absolutely outstanding on that bracelet.

I haven't even liked the look of the 11/45 until i saw these pics! Nice work. The nato was such a stupid idea (imo).
