Speedmaster Professional strap wearers

+1 for the Bob Davis butterfly, more than happy with it on my Speedy.

Sorry, an old(er) pic, probably would have been better with the clasp in focus too, but hey ho, you get the idea...

The Speedy is a pretty big watch, and to have the leather band taper to 16mm seems a bit odd, and seems to wear much narrower than 16mm bracelets, such as a Rolex oyster or some of the vintage Speedy bracelets.

If you're buying an OEM Omega strap and deployant, I'd recommend the 20mm to 18mm variety.

The OEM folding clasps on the steel Speedmasters are 18mm.
It is only the all gold models that have 16mm

No, the SS Omega foldover deployants come in both the 18mm and 16mm sizes.

They were 16mm until a few years ago, but are only 18mm today.
You can probably find some old stock with 16mm at the ADs, but ordering a new will be with an 18mm.

The yellow gold Speedy Moon is still with 16mm buckle.
(probably because they were all made some years ago)
