Which strap?
I’m looking to buy a Moonwatch, but uncertain which strap to get.
Bracelets are nice in formal situations, but am leaning towards nylon or rubber or leather. Rubber looks good, but am concerned about being sweaty on the summer. Leather is nice, but could be too ‘dressy’ and less ‘sporty’ Nylon looks ideal, but does it look a little ‘downmarket’ after some use? Any thoughts from owners on what they are actually like in day-to-day usage would be appreciated. |

Most buyers would purchase a new Speedmaster Pro on the bracelet and then purchase straps separately. Some day you might want to wear it on the bracelet.
As for straps, I prefer the OEM black calf and deployant clasp that are currently standard on the Speedmaster Pro with sapphire crystals. It's smooth, black calfskin, so not overly dressy but still classy enough to partner with the Speedmaster. I don't have many photos of mine, but here's one: ![]() I also enjoy OEM black alligator and deployant. I'm guessing these are dressier than you would prefer. ![]() ![]() I haven't owned or tried one yet, but I'm guessing you might find just the right vibe with the OEM black fabric strap and deplyant that are currently standard on the Speedmaster Pro with a Hesalite crystal. Not my watch or photo, but here's a decent image of it: ![]() You can purchase all of these directly from Omega, and in UK you're also fortunate to have a stockist called Swiss Watch Spares, who specializes in OEM Omega bracelets, straps, and clasps/buckles. He has tons of stuff in stock, so I recommend checking his web site and perhaps contacting him to discuss options. |

I bought it on the bracelet but after a while switched to Omega Rally strap with deployant.

Thanks. Buying on a bracelet and then adding a strap does seem logical

Definitely bracelet and rubber. I wear the rubber in summer. I like the leather straps but it limits where you can wear it. No swimming or hot/humid conditions.
