Leather strap for 41.5mm AT 8500?

Hi,

I have an Omega AT, and thought I'd might get a leather strap as I'm feeling somewhat bored with the watch ATM.

From what I've read I need a 21mm strap?

Looked a bit online, and every strap I find seem kind of expensive, 200-300USD.

I'm after a brown strap, light brown.

How much is an OEM Omega deployant buckle?

Thanks.

Great pics and watch sir. That watch is awesome. Looks so good on so many different straps. I've almost bought one numerous times...when I look at your pics I wonder whyi haven't taken the plunge.

Looks great, especially on the brown strap. Is it 21mm ?

Take the plunge Steve! Here are a few more to push you over the line :)

Love this watch. So much value for the $$..especially if you find one here for sale.

The display back and 8500 movement are fantastic.

As much as I love it on straps, the bracelet is the best. Looks great and is super comfortable.

And yes it's 20mm.

Is the strap definitely 20mm wide? I have a 41.5mm 2500 AT and that is 21mm wide, as confirmed in the official literature. Must admit, it's been a real pig of a job trying to find a leather strap for it!

Nice pics so far Jay and Steve. I can definitely confirm the strap size you need for the 41 mm AT is a 20 mm strap. Here's two OEM options that are 20mm for my new AT Golf. These ATs are such nice and versatile watches. I've had all three colors (black, opaline and grey) and still can't decide which one I liked best - they are all great! Thanks, Gil

Thanks guys. The AT is just so photogenic :)

Gil...all three huh? I've thought about trading mine in for the gray. I can see why it's a tough decision. Love the black /golf.

Hi Jay - yes crazily all 3. I could have any color and be happy. I started with Opaline, then grey and now black. No regrets when flipping but if I had to choose again, it would likely be Opaline since there are usually other dark/black dial watches in the collection.
