Non omega straps
Hello,
I have a deville w 20mm lug-lug and am contemplating getting a speedy w 19mm lug-lug. Are there any non omega websites that sell decent quality leather and/or rubber straps? |

I agree.
I purchased a nice strap this year from Veblenist: https://veblenist.com/ Depending on what you want there are straps directly from Omega. They come at a bit of a premium, but sometimes it's nice to have factory stuff. Here's a black rally-style strap from Omega with a pin buckle for $330: https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/o...material=10323 Here's a brown leather strap similar to what Omega puts on other "Heritage" versions of the Speedmaster (1957 re-issue, original First Omega In Space, etc.): https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/o...material=10323 Also, check out this Racing model from Bulang & Sons. Every time I see a Speedmaster on this strap I think I need to have one for my Speedmaster Pro: https://bulangandsons.com/products/r...-watch-strap-1 I like to wear my Speedmaster Pro on factory black alligator with a deployant clasp. You can have this for about the same cost as kissing three or four frogs before finding something aftermarket that pleases you. |

Agree with this. The Omega black crock strap with deployant is tough to beat. I just got one for my 145.012 and it’s amazing. Pricey but worth it. Other after market deployants the metal hits your hand. The omega one it does not. Makes a big difference in comfort. I’ve tried after market and finally went omega. |

Dangerous9 But a really good custom strap will cost more than OEM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Camille Fournet has been my goto for third-party leather straps.

I purchased this curved custom rubber strap for my Speedmaster from Wristbuddys for about $100.00. Very high quality and fast, courteous service.

I'll second the endorsement of Camille Fournet. My experience with them has been great. I will say, though, that I have passed over CF on a couple of recent purchases simply because CF has yet to introduce quick-release spring-bars in its offerings. Maybe I'm silly but I'm better off when I can avoid poking a spring-bar tool between the strap and lug.
