STAIB mesh is awesome. Have been thinking of getting one myself for a long time. I like what Trog has done here!

Thank you! Yes, it does. When I bought the watch, it came on the NATO. I then went to the Omega boutique and ordered the short version of the Milanese bracelet and asked to see their brown strap in crocodile.

It paired perfectly and I had it on the strap until a few weeks ago when the Milanese came in. When I went in to have the Milanese fitted, I dealt with a different sales associate. He was quite taken with how well the brown croc strap looked with the watch.

They have other shades, such as a tan and golden brown, which I expect would also look terrific.

That’s an advantage of Omega over Rolex, a wider range of strap/bracelet options available from the manufacturer.

I’m really enjoying the watch on the Milanese, but will periodically change things up. At the moment, the Milanese is my favorite. For anyone purchasing the watch, I’d recommend getting on the bracelet then adding whatever else you like.

And, if you buy at the boutique, there’s a good chance they’ll throw in a strap, though you may have to pay for the buckle/deployment, as Omega prices those separately from the strap itself.

I wear mine slightly snug on cold days (9 months year in UK) & drop it down a hole in Summer or when I'm hot.

The milanese is a perfect marriage with the titanium. I have the NATO but it is unworn.

Enjoy your new watch.

I have recently ordered and received the stainless steel version of this milanese for my blue dial 300M and it too is really comfortable. I have tried the NTTD with the titanium mesh and it really is in a different class, such a stark contrast in weight (all day comfort) and the color palette is exquisite. Aesthetically the best modern Seamaster diver in my opinion

Seems like most people trying on the titanium bracelet is their first experience with a high-end milanese. Unlike those from Staib, Omega’s milanese has a break-in period. After a while, those gaps should disappear, and it will form around your wrist nicely.

Keep in mind, this is titanium. This metal is very difficult to manufacture because it is very unforgiving to cutting tools used to shape it.
