Ghosts of 21mm!!! Strap Recommendations Please
Anyone have any recommendations for soft leather straps (non Nato) for my Seamaster Heritage 300? Why oh Why did they have to make this watch with 21mm lugs?!!!
Having a tough time finding anything decent that doesn't have quick release pins (which always seem so short). Would even prefer a sturdy suede. Thoughts?

Why not OEM on a deployant clasp?
Alternatively, I have been browsing options from Veblenist lately. Hodinki may have some good stuff, too. |

This is a 21mm Hirsch Tiger. First of all, it is not a soft leather. The bottom is actually rubber. I post it because I too was hesitant to go with a quick-release pin system, but I tried it out with this strap and have been very satisfied with it. It feels very secure and I have no fear of the pins giving way. I would definitely recommend giving Hirsch a look. They have a number of 21mm options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I second this. The OEM barenia leather strap is fantastic.
Otherwise, most of the OEM rubber or leather straps with thick attachments ("curved") originally designed for the Planet Ocean will also fit the 300MC, though Omega will not say this officially as they are slightly thicker and may interfere with the bezel - you might also need curved spring bars. |

Omega OEM leather on deployant is the best in the business IMO. Not cheap but worth it
