Strap Inspiration

[AlleyCat]

I’m wanting to fit a new strap to my latest purchase, but could do with some inspiration as I’m struggling to figure out what. To give you an idea at the moment I’m feeling possibly a NATO strap, not sure on colour, or maybe a brown/tan leather strap. However I’m very open to all suggestions!

Naked watch for reference below

That is a tricky one, I would consider something pretty, like a nice turquoise shagreen strap.

Light coloured dials work well with tan and brown dials. Black gives a more formal look but I’m quite into dark blue currently. Go for a croc or reptile print strap for a bit of texture.

Tender, who're a small, British denim / workwear brand, do a couple of straps in oak bark tanned bridle leather. This is my watch when it was new a couple of years ago.



They're available in an undyed tan leather (which starts out light and darkens to a deep brown) over time, brown, and black. You can get a one piece NATO style, or a two piece design. They only come in an 18 mm width, but since that's a vintage Omega, you should be OK.

Tender sell them direct for £45.

I think you could put a variety of straps on that, maybe not a striped NATO, but a plain one or a Perlon would be fine. Or for something a bit different www.cheapestnatostraps.com do a nice tan ostrich leather strap which might work.

Not a great pic, but watch is similar, with black and grey Nato:

Thanks for all the replies, really appreciate it! I went for a brown croc leather strap, which I’m really happy with. But I may still look at some NATO strap options in a few months! I like to have some choices.

By the way love the Seamaster ^^^^ above

Here she is, tried to get a photo that showed a bit more of the strap, hence the slightly odd angle.
