Icon7 Omega Seamaster 2531.80 & Isofrane

Hi Everyone,

Here is a photo of my Omega Seamaster 2531.80 on my new Isofrane 1968 strap.

I bought the strap direct from Isofrane and have to say that the quality and workmanship is simply superb. Marvellous.

They are quite expensive, but I think worth it. I recommend them.

I think it gives my Seamaster another new look and another choice on what to wear it on? I think the two look quite good together?

Till next time...

It looks very good indeed! Thank you for sharing!

My only thought is that, perhaps, it would have looked better had the rubber band been blue instead but this mix looks nice nonetheless!

I've been considering a new strap or bracelet for my SMP as well, but I can't decide. Let us know how it feels once you get some wrist time with it. The blue they provide isn't dark enough it seems...?

Looks great!

Are these the ones who originally made the same looking straps for Omega in the 70-ties?

Hi,

I think they are? In fact, I'm pretty sure they are? They certainly look the same. (But someone will know better than me.)

Isofrane were used by a lot of top name brands back in the day. I'm just glad they are making them again.

Till next time...
