    This strap is for an Omega 2502.50.00
    Any information on purchasing this strap & deployment clasp is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Are you looking for an OEM deployant clasp, or aftermarket, because there are some makers of both straps we could point you towards that are every bit as good quality wise as the Omega originals but at a much more reasonable price point.

    There is a 20mm strap with deployment clasp on e-bay for a very reasonable price, but I am wondering how strange it might look on my watch gap wise, since my watch is supposed to take the 21mm strap.

    For the strap your best bet is going Hirsch, they make excellent straps in 21mm sizes http://www.hirschag.com/en/hirsch-bracelet-assortment/#

    Its a German company with an exceptional reputation among watch enthusiasts.

    For the clasp, your best bet is RHD. Omega OEM deployant clasps are very overpriced, you can expect to pay 300++ on ebay, and I've been quoted $630 by a dealer. The RHD clasps have a great reputation for reliability and quality, and are very reasonably priced, check them out: http://www.mywatchmaker.net/deployantclasp.htm

    Between the two you'll fine the right style in the right size and get that perfect look for less than a third of the price you would pay at a dealer.
