Strap Options for Seamaster 300 with 21mm Lugs

Just wondering if folks have found some good options for their Seamaster 300 with the 21mm lugs. I have seen a few pics with rubber fitted ends on Instagram and was curious what others have done. I like it on the Nato, but sometimes nice to have a lower profile without the nato.

thanks for suggestions in advance!

Good news is there are quite a few great choices. I have the Omega 21mm Leather Nato on mine and really like the look. I'll post a pic later.

Nice, looks great on the tan leather.

I'm in the same boat.

I have mine on the Bond NATO 80% of the time, with the rest spent on the bracelet and a cheap Gulf Racing styled NATO.

Tried to squeeze a 22mm Seamaster rubber strap on, but couldn't get it to fit properly.

Mscott842 has an Everest rubber strap on his, looks amazing.

Looking for something in tan leather to match, but still haven't pulled the pin.

Amazingly versatile watch.

Thanks, looks good on the leather. Wonder what Everest strap fits. That would be perfect!

You can use a 22mm nato on it.

I actually use 20mm straps fine or 22mm
That SM300 is really 21.5mm

I’d like to see Omega make a OEM Gulf Racing NATO. Nice looking strap!

The 21mm lugs have been the bane of this watch for me from day one. My problem is trying to find a 21 or 22mm strap that fits the watch AND is in a short length (6.5" wrist). That has proven to be almost impossible... Didn't like the bracelet so off it came. Haven't been able to find a good looking, comfortable, and reasonably sized strap yet... two or three years of ownership down the road. I hate nato/zulu so that's not an option. I'd really like to find a nice, high quality, 22mm rubber strap I could squeeze in and isn't too long but no luck there yet. Not really interested in putting it on a custom 21mm and 110/70 sized leather strap since it's a dive watch and that doesn't feel right... sigh... I'm frustrated with this almost to the point of selling the watch... which is a shame because it's fantastic otherwise.

Thread dredge. After much deliberation, I have mine on a canvas with tan stitching. First post so can't post pics but can PM if you'd like.
