Finally pulled the trigger on my first expensive watch. I was originally looking to get the Speedy but when I tried it out at the AD. Didn’t cut it for me but I fell in love with this one. Looks better in person. What are some good options for straps? Nato or rubber (similar to oh omega rubber strap)
Also, thanks to the bowl for helping with some watch knowledge and advice

Rubber for sure, combines extremely well with the Seamaster

A black curved rubber strap goes super well on the white dial Seamaster. There are a couple options, including the manufacturer, not sure which is best as I have never owned this one.
It’s a really sharp look though, it’s what I would do if I owned it. I actually copied that look with an old Zelos I had (since traded).

Congrats! I personally like Tropic straps for a bit of vintage look but Zealande is also great for modern rubber straps.

Gorgeous addition mate. I think rubber would look great but I'm biased to Nato because it's so darn comfy.

I have a zulu NATO strap on my hydroconquest. I'll probably get a rubber Horus strap for my Monaco when I do if you need a brand for rubber.

Everest is great but they don’t make curved ends for omega

Potentially stupid question, but if you buy the seamaster on the rubber strap can you buy the steel bracelet from omega separately? I’m thinking of buying one and think I’d prefer rubber strap for now, but my preferences often change and it feels like rubber would be easier to get after the fact

That’s a very rare occurrence and not due to the rubber. Id say in most instances go with the metal unless you have a one off like a gold buckle or a diamond encrysted rubber strap

Great choice. This will be a future classic from Omega. I have one and it is probably my most worn watch. It is great on the bracelet and on rubber.

I have this watch! It’s so awesome. I’ve kept the original bracelet - don’t think a $30-$100 strap is a solid replacement for that pricey and comfortable bracelet it came with! But they all look good. Enjoy!
