Hello Everyone,

New to the forum, in love with Omega (i have a few vintage ones), and just found a nice original Omega strap in a shop closure sale. It was in their stock, they did not remember since when. My guess is sometime, and probably for a quartz watch, given the shop usual prices. It is 18mm at the widest and 12mm between the tenons. I cannot seem to find other straps like this one, and after a long search, i still have no clue as to which watch it would fit. Constellation ? So I turn to you good people ! Can you point me in the right direction or explain me what the deal is with that attachment type ?

Greetings from Paris!
Jessica

Hi Don, the logo is indeed stamped, as is the material used (croco). I looked carefully if there was any serial on the clasp, but nothing.

I am imagining that this would be for a watch with a protruding center tab (which would fit between the tubes) instead of two typical lugs. It doesn't look familiar to me.

Thanks Dan, i came to the same conclusion but i don't even understand how the two would attach. One tenon is hollowed out; the other as well but not through and I cannot see if there's a thread. Mystery strap...^_^

Can you take closeup photo of both sides of buckle? That may have value but the strap itself is useless without the specific watch.

A pin or screw would enter through the side with a through hole. You would need to determine for yourself if there are threads (and find the correct screw) or whether a friction pin is needed. Given that one side has a blind hole, I think there are probably threads.

But as @SOG53 noted, if the buckle is legit, it's probably best just to salvage it and re-use it. It may not be easy to find someone who needs this particular strap.

Nice original gold plated buckle looks unworn. Can put it on another strap looks small maybe 12-14 mm

Oh sure ! That's for me, not to resell !

Indeed ! and when i saw it in the store that was closing business, i did not hesitate ! It is brand "new". Just have to find the watch it pairs with now out of sheer curiosity. I could indeed at the very last resort use the buckle alone. But i am perseverant...^_^

I suppose you could look into the watches with integrated bracelets - where perhaps Omega made some strap for a fit like below?

Thank you both, I also found this, and everything seems to point towards a leather strap for a constellation...The image is from a listing on ebay, and it looks really close to what i have on that strap.

Thats a spare link for the metal bracelet like @Endshake photo above. I dont think it will help you regarding a leather strap. I have not seen the Manhattan style watches with leather strap, only integrated bracelets- but maybe there are some with ladies watches- I would search for that but I dont think this link will help you
