Hey guys, I just purchased a Speedmaster 3220.50 yesterday (absolutely beautiful watch). I've always wanted a Speedmaster, and have always appreciated their versatility when it comes to straps. However, the 19mm lug width on this model poses a problem, as 19mm straps seem hard to come by.

I'm interested in rally racing straps and NATOs (mostly leather). I know some 20mm straps will fit, while others won't (I have one of each of those). I also have some 18mm NATOs that could work, but the fact that they aren't the perfect fit kind of bothers me. 20mm NATOs could probably work, but I'm not sure on the leather ones the effect it would have. I was interested in Crown & Buckle mostly, but open to other options as well.








Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thoughts, opinions etc?

Thanks in advance,
Dalton



Obligatory wrist shot

 

I have the same watch and i keep catching the button for the bracelet, i am now ready for a change of strap. I think black leather will do me. Trawl ebay through thousands of straps is a good idea.
here is the leather strap which i think looks the best on a speedy and probably what mine will end up wearing. (Borrowed photo)

 

Gunny strap Lemans racing, made to order.

 

I really like this one from The Timetraveler, wears really nice too.

 

I have same watch...


And these should have quality 19mm straps at reasonable prices.

Giuliano's straps are works of art and he can do pretty much what you want. I've just received one of these and it's a great strap. He has a very good reputation in the Heuer world:

Hi,

the strap from the "First Omega In Space" will also fit, because the FOIS although has 19mm strap stops
This brown is darkening off after a while ... if you want a picture from after half a year - just ask!
