Want a new strap for my omega AT

[matt3001]

Had my AT for what must be 8 or 9 years now. Maybe more...

(Steel bracelet, white face, blue hands and markings exactly like this one: http://bit.ly/18VsDBL)

I'd like to get a rubber strap for it.

Exactly like this one.

Is this possible? How do I go about doing it?

Take out a mortgage then head over to your friendly local stockist if you want an original. Bear in mind that cost price if you need the clasp as well is upwards of £350 for an original, which is an absurd amount for a bit of moulded rubber!

Assuming your strap is 20mm and not 22mm, then there's one on eBay for £245, unused inc clasp.
There's a strap only alternative for £145, and you can buy 18mm clone clasps for £20-25.
There's other non-OEM blue rubbers straps and clone clasp for £40 ish, from the US – so a bit of delay on receiving it.

Try watch obsession.co.uk and see if Gary has anything suitable from Hirsch.

A mate of mine has the same watch and put his on a blue and white NATO strap. Think he bought a pack of them on eBay for about £25 and as much as I was against liking it, it looks pretty smart! He wears his moon watch on a NATO quite a lot aswell.

Much better look than a rubber strap on a AT

How would I know if it is 20mm?

I mean I have measured it and I am 90% sure it is 20mm but with such small tolerance it could easily be 22mm if I am measuring from the wrong point?

Will the PO type straps definitely fit an AT or is that just something for the Omega shop to advise on?

As far as could see Watch Obsession had no blue rubber that do have it in leather though.

I have ordered myself a rubber lookalike from USA for my Seamaster Pro only want it when I go on hols just to change the watch a little, also can still wear it in the pool or the sea

I've bought a few PO straps and its the clasp that costs. Luckily I had the clasp as bought my PO on the croc leather.

I have not paid over £125 for a strap new from an AD. There are Omega rubber straps with a buckle but I'm sure they are only black.

Nice watch.

I am not overly concerned about cost.

Giving my watch a freshen up will be cheaper than me going out and buying a used PO - which I always get very close to doing!

Just spoke to the Bond St store and they are quoting £295 all in.

New strap and clasp
