Aqua Terra on OEM Rubber Strap and Deployant Clasp courtesy of Seth (superdog)
Most of you probably know that Seth is a huge Omega fan, as well as being a very generous guy and a true mensch.
When I got my new Aqua Terra about a month ago he sent me a brand new black OEM Rubber Strap and yesterday he sent me the OEM Deployant Clasp to go with it, also new. I mean, c’mon, who does that? Well, Seth does. Thank you brother, you’re one of a kind. I couldn’t wait to strap it on so here are the pics.

Looks awesome, Angelo! Love how it looks "integrated" but it's not. And the 8900 is quite the caliber from what I have read. It's a great watch and it looks great on you.
Seth, you're a super great human. |

He is definitely a class act. Omega makes fantastic rubber straps. I am looking for a used bracelet for my 42mm 300m for occasional use (the boutique charges $800 for the bracelet). That said, I love it on the factory rubber strap. It's so darn comfy.

Looks fabulous! Is it installed with the 6 & 12 ends reversed? I think the clasp should open downward.

Yes. I’ve always worn my watches on my right wrist.

Nice strap! Kind of want a rubber one now too..
Like others mentioned though, you’ve got the long end with clasp coming from the bottom at 6 instead of top at 12. Maybe if the watch slides over or you’re banging the clasp too much, might be worth changing the ends |
