Speedmaster Professional Strap Ideas

I’m relatively new to the Speedmaster Professional and would like to see what strap ideas you guys have come up with. I currently have an Omega OEM black leather strap with deployant.

Also where is the best place to buy straps online? I will be in Miami in the very near future so that is an option also!

Not a “professional”. But still a Speedmaster.


Mine generally spends all of its time on either Hirsch leather or a Haveston red stripe.

One of my favorites is this double rigged omega shark strap. I don’t believe these are currently available from Omega, but they pop up occasionally on the bay or on forum watch sale sites.

I love straps but I always end up going back to the bracelet for some reason.

I'm partial to the Speedy on an OEM NATO. If you do not already have one, you should be able to order them online directly from Omega. However, this is one of those watches which will look great on most any strap as well as the bracelet.

I replaced the ss bracelet the first week I got my speedy. I bought a brown leather strap from bas & lokes.

Love the toad strap on my Speedy by Combat Straps. Aaron's straps are first class!

I think Speedys look really nice on black racing straps. B and R bands has a nice one.

Great suggestion, that’s what I was looking for. Just placed an order for a suede vintage camel strap!

I purchased a leather "cognac" rally strap from Bands r Bands last year. I love it, plays up the racing tradition of the original speedmasters.

Between the original bracelet, oem alligator, and black nato, I've recently fallen in love with my newly acquired oem rally strap OME-98000024.
Gives a nice sporty/casual look and feel.

I have worn my speedy tuesday on a bulang & sons strap from day one. The omega leather and nato have remained unworn.
