Until this week multiple OBs and ADs have told me they’ve been on backorder from Switzerland . This was corroborated by emails from Swatch.... specifically the rubber strap seamaster 300m buckle

Omega/swatch wouldn’t say why they were backordered for so long. I imagine some sort of production issue rather than intentional.

Huge congrats! My fantastic Omega AD provided a rubber strap along with the metal bracelet almost right away free of charge last January! Now I seldom wear the metal bracelet. The blue on blue is awesome!
