Besides a black NATO of course, I have found this on google:



A sports watch and a NATO are always a brilliant combination.

at the risk of being ridiculed can i cut the nato so i dont have to fold it at the end

[EliStone]

Of course you can but still you should not

I have this rubber strap sat in my basket at Cousin's but I'm currently resisting hitting the 'buy' button....:)

Love my smp on the omega rubber with deployment......

[Rob The Yid]

Nice watches, thought you weren't bothered anymore though mate, the one above would be the only other I'd wear! NATOs are GAY

[Barney12]

Looks excellent on the rubber! That gets my vote.

I'm a big fan of an SM on leather, to be sure.

This is vintage, but my 2255.80 looks great on leather too! Please excuse the lint.

stop teasing me merlin!! :)

I have a blue rubber oem strap with deployment on eBay at the moment if anyone is interested. It's a great combo!

[Zero Cool]

Maybe something like this:

[ODLOWEND]

I was surprised how sharp it looks on a 4 buckle NATO strap in black.

I have ordered a couple of Maratac in different colours/styles to figure out the killer combos.

This actually looks really good, suits the dial and style of the watch perfectly. Always wanted a 2254, this has just pushed me further along!

What a Beauty :!: I think this is the best dress you could put on SMP (white, black, or blue)! The sportiest look you will find on any omega. I have the same rubber strap for the last 5 years now and still have not gotten tired of it. It is my go-to choice for summer time or when I head out to the beach. Couldn't say more about brilliant this strap is by Omega!

OEM rubber as per that picture or original bracelet only IMO.
Anything else you'll get bored of quickly and put it back on the bracelet or wish you'd bought the OEM rubber.
Just my tupence worth having owned 4 2254's.

I rang the Regent Street boutique to order this strap and was told the 98000085 isn't for a 2254 and also doesn't come with a buckle. But the 98000037 leather look rubber and Omega deployment would be perfect (and about £200 more!). Did anyone else have difficulty getting the buckle? Did you have to specify the part number for it??

Also the leather look strap, on Ofrei it says it isn't waterproof. Why make it rubber then??

They are talking rubbish.

The seamaster 20mm strap and planet ocean 20mm strap differ at lug ends, so don't fall in to that trap.

For your seamaster, you want a 98000085 strap with 9451-2012 olympic buckle.

These (sold together) can be had from Omega Westfield for approx £100.

I called Westfield Omega and had a similar conversation with a female member of staff who refused to accept that the SMP rubber can be fitted with a buckle! I politely finished the call and back yesterday, chap called Sean was right on the ball, he has subsequently ordered me a rubber strap (98000085) @ £90 and thrown in a buckle and spring at for free!! RMSD @ £10, so £100 all in, delivered!! Think that's rather good personally.

[Dibergio]

I got my strap on Friday, I'm really pleased with it. :D However it's still not 100% - they fitted the PO buckle which has a thinner pin. Stupidly didn't notice until after leaving the Regent Street boutique.

I went back in there later and pointed it out. I was then reliably informed by a very sure of himself man that the PO strap is a better fit for the SM :roll: (despite me telling him otherwise) and that it is highly unlikely the right buckle can be sourced. I gave him the part number and he said he would get his colleague to chase it up. I get the feeling nothing will have happened so am gonna give them a call again.

Why does it have to be so hard?? :evil:

It does look very cool though, it's like a new watch all over!

[b2s]

She looks good on mesh too.

[bigvic]

Just fitted a Hirsch Mobile on mine, quite surprised how good it looks. 8)

[no.3]

you could strap a 2254 on to your wrist with a turd and it would still look good.
some great options on this thread

[DimGR]

i would like to see a picture of an orange isofrane on a 2254.50

anyone ?

Got my replacement buckle fitted last week - it took about a week to arrive (I found Fatima to be very helpful). Unsurprisingly it's now much sturdier. Really loving the rubber. Have just bought a grey G10 though as well :)

[wildheart]

I had mine on Mesh and the Coramide

[eye4detail]

A black, matt and smooth strap suits this watch best imo, be it rubber or leather, but any other type just doesn't look right

Looks class on that rubber strap, shame they don't make them in blue, would look good on a 2531

[trisdg]

I did not think that would look good on a mesh.

Thank you for proving me wrong. :-)

[bigjohn7]

Sorry no pics but i like the original bracelet on mine.but really like the look of the rubber divers .

[pjsayer]

The rubber is nice, but too much for the money. Bracelet all the way for me...

If you are then get a NATO.

After seeing this thread, I may have to see if my Bremont rubber strap will fit on my Seamaster or my Sub :)

Update -Strap too wide, but also would need to purchase another buckle :(

[UKWatchGuy]

I'm thinking of ordering one of these for my 2254, do they come in standard and XL length?

I like to wear my bracelet and rubber straps 'fairly loose' and have a tail of at least 2cm after the last keeper.

Looks gorgeous on the omega rubber, maybe I am biased as I have the PO on the rubber with buckle.

I think it's the fact that the strap is "sculpted" to the case that makes all the difference

I was told it was £110(rubber strap & buckle) when I was in store Westfield.
when I tried to order it a week later, they were asking £165 !

What's the going rate currently for buying from boutique?

My post is over 13 months old, and while I normally wouldn't bother replying to a thread resurrection such as this, for anyone who genuinely wants to know the current price from Omega Westfield, last month I was quoted £170.

I like to wear my bracelet and rubber straps 'fairly loose' and have a tail of at least 2cm after the last keeper.

Think there is just the one length. I've got 7" wrists and have it done snug - there is about 2cm after the last keeper.

It's been over a year since I got the OEM rubber on it, and it's amazing. I put the bracelet back on for a wedding, but apart from that the rubber hasn't left. The edges aren't as crisp anymore, but there hasn't been any visible wear on the 'notches'.

[UKWatchGuy]

How do you remove the buckle, is it attached by a mini springbar to the tail end of the strap?

I have finally fitted the Omega OEM rubber strap on pin & buckle, very easy job but took less than 5 mins once the lugs were taped up.

I have not encountered any of the problems reported by others such as 1) the spring bars had to be 'bent' slightly [spring bars must have been fractionally too long to start with if you had this issue] or 2) the bezel rotates more stiffer than before [bezel is still stiff but NOT noticeably more]

The Omega rubber strap has totally transformed this Seamaster into the most comfortable wearing and most Toolish looking watch in Seamaster current and past range. The rubberised leather strap on deployant does not look as nice and is too dressy for a Tool watch, even though the deployant is a nice touch, just a shame the rubber strap did not have a deployant fitted as the tail ends are thin enough for a deployant to be added.

The only possible 'concern' is where the tail end of rubber strap gets 'bent' to fit the tail under the 2 keepers, I wonder if this will cause the tail end of the rubber strap to degrade and weaken over time - any long term wearers of this Omega rubber strap voice their experience/opinions?

Looks peachy on an omega nato. Thought I might regret the price but ridiculous tho it may sound, I’m pleased as punch.
