Omega Band

[InVision]

Hi folks I want to get a new Omega strap for this watch. Can someone let me know what I am looking for and where to look?

Thanks All!

Mike

Nice dynamic, do you want a nos Omega strap? You could find a similar Hirsch or something and just switch out the buckle. An Omega strap would cost more money.

I am thinking an Omega exact replacement band. Is there a good place to source one? Thx, Mike

You can try ebay, I've seen a couple go on every now and then.

Hi Mike,

The Omega Vintage Watch Information site (register free to use the site) shows the case number for your Omega Dynamic III, as 166.0310, photo from the site below (all the leather straps shown on this site for the Dynamic III models with leather straps, show a brown strap)



Otto Frei in the USA has a brown 19mm strap which looks similar to the one in the photo, the part number is: OME-97672073. From ofrei's description "I do not know what to call this color, light brown is the best I can do. The material has a nap like that of suede.".

When I searched Cousins UK for Dynamic 19mm straps, black is not one of the colours shown. The brown strap shown, is the same as the one on ofrei.com.

Thank you Brian. That helps much.

Probably doesn't help much, but I recently asked my AD about a 20mm PO strap (croc) for my SMP and it was $800 strap only or $1250 with deployant (AUD). Yours is probably cheaper, but suffice to say, Omega has some markup.

The strap OME-97672073 from ofrei.com costs $118.12 shipped (this is with the Non California Resident Tax box selected).

Omega isn’t the problem. It’s the dealer who decides what they are going to charge the customer and their mark-up can be anything up to 50% over what it cost them to buy the item from Omega. And, sadly in your case the high taxes in Australia.

Here are O Frei’s prices for an alligator strap and deployment:

$348: Omega Watch Strap OME-98000008, Black 20 mm Alligator for the Deployment Clasp OME-94521613;
$228: Omega 16 mm Deployment Clasp OME-94521613

Non California residents do not pay tax, CONUS shipping costs $14.00, international shipping to Australia $32.20

Hey Brian,

Biggest problem is that Frei's are unable to export genuine Alligator (exotic skins etc.) I think has to do with some international sanction/law or whatever. From memory it has it on all the listings with skins that they are unable to export.

Cheers

BTW. Those prices for the strap and/or deployment are ludicrous. Frei's are even cheaper, I would get some more prices.
