Love the PO but not a huge fan of the striped NATO, mesh, bracelet or even rubber like isofrane would look badass on it but those NATO look a bit more vintage Submariner-ish
Got tired of rubber. Metal bracelet makes this particular watch look huge. Just got this strap few mins ago and so far love the look in person. Other reasons...rubber or metal don't really like my single watch winders. This will fit there nicely. Tried different colors as well. Did not like 'em.
Makes sense.... The watch is for diving. Has more playtime in a summer for me. Needs some splash of color. I never wear it with the suit (too large) Longines Heritage Conquest and Cartier Tank cover such scenarios.
it might look better on a black/orange NATO to match the colors on the dial. NATOs are fun to swap in and out and can be less bothersome on the wrist than rubber, especially in the summer. If this was the LMPO LE the NATO would match nicely, but in the end it really only matters if you like how it looks on your wrist
Agreed on a black and orange. Unfortunately, omega boutique only had this one, gray and black, black and brown leather. True. Feels much lighter and more comfortable on a wrist than the rubber. Ultimately, I would love the regular style in a dark blue leather, but it is $800+ and not practical in a summer.
orange second hand tip and red stripes don't work for me. great strap and great watch, just not together.
There are other non OEM NAto's that may look better with the PO. Even a greenish one would look good matching the lume. Nice watch wither way for sure.
If you like it, that's all that matters. But I really can't figure out why Omega even made this strap. There is virtually no red in their stable. Would have preferred them to make some blue NATOs, which I guess we sort of have now with the new Solar Impulse.
Omega's site shows the blue PO GMT with the all black NATO. Not sure how I feel about it. I suppose the tan leather would match it though.
In the boutique I saw the Titanium SMP300 (retro) which has a blue face, displayed on the tan leather NATO - it looked fantastic
