First ever Speedy incoming, please post pics of your FOIS with straps!
After a long time admiring the Speedy, I pulled the trigger on a FOIS here on TRF. I'm super excited about the watch! While I wait for it to arrive, can some other FOIS owners please post some pics of their FOIS's on different straps?

There's a thread over on omegaforums with the different bracelets. I had my FOIS on the Speedy racing bracelet, Speedy racing rubber strap with deployant, and currently on the US1171 bracelet.

Someone posted on OF using the Planet Ocean 39.5mm Deep Black strap on their FOIS. Looks pretty nice.

The 40mm Speedy racing accessories and 39.5M Planet Ocean straps should fit the FOIS.

Thanks guys, I had never heard of Uncle Seiko before and just checked out that website. I'll definitely be picking up one of those bracelets!! Also loved the look of the black sail cloth and the brown leather. Really seems like you can't go wrong. Now to go find the thread on OF. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Have a look at Forstner bracelets, too. I reviewed mine here (scroll down a bit from the first post in this linked thread to see the full review): https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=771815

That NATO is nice! Is that an Omega factory issue?

Cool seeing the Pro and FOIS right next to each other, without the bracelet on the Pro. Is there any practical difference in the size of the cases? I know conventional wisdom is that the FOIS is better for slender wrists, but once either is on a strap or nato, I’m not seeing much of a difference.

Nice. Is this the Sedna reference? In these photos it appears to be a white metal of some sort.

The pro is noticeably larger on my flat 6.75” wrist. Wears smaller when on leather straps because the nato makes the watch wear higher on the wrist.

It can be a bit of a pain to find a strap for 19mm, but when you find a goodie, it really makes the FOIS shine. It’s a watch that just does so many things absolutely right.

Not FOIS but you can get the idea

Leather

Omega NATO (highly recommended in what we color you want the nato omega is top notch)
