Should be no problem! My Zenith and Omega were interchangeable.
Is it possible to adapt a conventional pin buckle strap to fasten with a deployant clasp?
I ask because I have an old Hirsch strap that I really like which is no longer available. I'd love to have it on my Speedy with a deployant clasp but I didn't know if it could be done. Somebody on here, I thought, is BOUND to know...

Something like this should do the trick.

I’ve tried and had no success, the lengths are all wrong and the clasp ends up in the wrong position. By all means give it a go, I guess it depends on the strap itself, the buckle, and your wrist size.
I've done it on a couple of watches that I have with new Hirsch straps - pin buckles removed. One is on a Hirsch deployant (can't remember which deployant) and one an Omega copy.
I've done it the other way with one of Eddie's 2-pice nylon straps so you may find something with the right lengths.
You need something like this.
This is the first one that came up on the ebay search:

To some extent it will depend on the clasp; some seem to be hybrid types that work well with a standard tang buckle strap; others will need a specific strap as Paul mentions above...
If the latter, and the straps you’re looking at are cheap enough, you might be able to do something with two straps using the two buckle sides?
