Very pretty watch. I have one that's for 17.5mm lugs (Omega case) and asked about US vs Metric lugs and there seemed to be some ambiguity about if there were English sized lugs at all.
English watches have metric sized lugs. Go figure.
Is it a US or Euro case? If the former, Tom will be along in one of his guises very shortly to enlighten you about 11/16" widths, if the latter then you need a 18mm strap.

I actually did try a 17mm strap and was still not satisfied with the small gap that showed. Maybe I will look for a thicker 17mm and see if that does it.
Interesting you bring that up. I have a CK2390 that is identified as "international collection" and made perhaps in the late 40s... and has 11/16" lugs. So at one time... they had both. Be interesting to see what much earlier Omega-branded cases measure. My pre-WWI Omega doesn't count because it is 3/0 size in a Canadian case.
C1953, 17.5mm lugs. Didn't bother me so much until I wanted to put a bracelet on it- finding the correct endlinks was a pain. Finally sourced them from a member here and the thought was that they were 11's that were cut down to fit the 11/16 lug width.
It's clear that the bracelet and end links I have on another watch I just got are... about that size. (Never thought about it until now.)
