What is your ideal existing/non-existing perfect rubber strap for the speedy?

I have seen multiple rubber straps paired with the moonwatch and have yet to see one that matches well to the moonwatch case contour

They were either too bulky, or off proportion to the shape of the moonwatch case, or integrated to the case, or just another generic strap design used by many other brands

Share your thoughts of how the ideal rubber strap should be...

There is a Seamaster Pro 300M strap in black that is about the most perfect, I can’t tell you what the exact reference of it is but it works with the Omega deployant and is very low key in its design yet fits the Speedy. It doesn’t look like anything it just blends in and let’s the moonwatch shine

I felt Zealande straps for SMPs was a perfect aftermarket solution, if they made one for speedies that would be da bomb. To me, the criterion would be 1) strap length coz of my small wrists, 2) not too thick and chunky rubber 3) case-strap integration is a bonus because old school tropic straps are equally charming

Yes i agree that the SM300 rubber strap look great on the speedy, however the build of the strap do not mesh with the case shape of speedy 🙁

Yes strap length is huge, i wouldn't want to have one that over extend. I am still searching the the ideal "non-integrated" strap, non bulky as you mentioned, and non generic looking

Every so often I put this on. Quite like the contrast between styles and colours. 😀

I am big fan of Barton elite silicon straps. I have tried lots of different rubber an silicone straps, but Barton always wins. Lots of colours to choose from too.

for some reason the pic is not showing on here, but when I edit, it shows. 😵‍💫

Eitherway here is the hard link: https://i.postimg.cc/xjGsfz9G/IMG-2737.jpg

I'm a fan of contrast as well, and think this pairing of yours looks great here. The white rubber complements the faded bezel followed by the subtle white batons.

Great choice! Always felt that straight lugs end rubber fits better on the speedy

Looks like Barton offer a range of colored silicon straps. Another straight lugs end rubber strap under my radar 😎
