It’s the first day of Autumn where I live, and Speedmasters...

... transition from bracelets to straps today!

I have a couple of straps for my Speedmaster Professional, and I’m starting the season on one that’s special to me. This was the OEM strap that Omega specified in the late ‘90s for this model. It has been out of production for a long time now, but I really dig the style and I’m glad to have this survivor to enjoy with my favorite Omega watch!

Are you ready to make the seasonal swap to a strap on your Speedmaster? Let’s see them!

Nice strap! I am thinking of switching from the original steel bracelet to a leather strap. Hitting the Omega boutique today.

Nice. Brand new bits from the Boutique today?

I think the combo looks great. That deployant looks more intricately finished than mine does (in addition to the combo shown in this thread, I also have the 20mm x 16mm black alligator/deployant combo that Omega currently specifies for the Speedmaster Pro). Your new strap will take to the curve of your wrist before long, and quicker if you store the watch strapped to a little watch pillow overnight.

Thanks!

Yes, it is a boutique strap and buckle. A little pricey, but it looks sharp. Will take a little time to break in.
