Seamaster 300 strap ideas

Picked up the new Seamaster 300. I love the watch but wasn’t crazy about the OEM brown leather. I swapped it out for this one but am curious if anyone has ideas or photos of a waterproof option. NATO, canvas, rubber?

Wow, cool Omega!

Pretty exciting to see the first one here. How is it so far?

For a strap, I think the first one I would order is a genuine Tropic in Black: https://www.tropicstrap.com/

Here's a photo swiped from the web fro reference:

Great combination there! Both of those look fantastic.

If the lug width is 20mm, I think the nttd nato would look great on this...or its knockoff on watch gecko.

I think the C&B Chevrons work very well on the SM300:

What’s your take on the faux, too much, just right etc

My favorite rubber is zennor in watchgecko I use for my seiko beaters. Not sure it’s nice enough for that but sure is comfy

It’s a bit too much (too dark) but doesn’t bother me too much.
