Aftermarket straps with folding deployant clasps

[RS404]

Anyone know where I can get a leather racing strap with a fold over deployant? I want to recreate what I have on my Monaco on my new Speedmaster. Can't buy a normal strap and fit a deployant as there will be a notch showing where the buckle end meets the clasp.

Something like this?

Thanks I did find that one, but they're made to order and take about 4 weeks so wanted to see if there's any off the shelf options about.

I use this Heuer style clasp (the type that clamps one half of the strap so you dont have holes). This is the 16mm version, but others are available, although 18mm currently out of stock.

You can then use a Heuer style strap or have one made from the likes of strap tailor.

Here's just one, they are listed in the 'buckle-option' for each strap

I bought this over Christmas for my Moonwatch and it came in a few days, they have other leather options also.

Omega 98000024?

Prices have increased and availability decreased, but see this TZ thread.

Bought the Monza strap and 16mm deployant from Watch Strap World as recommended by HenryTudor336. Just what I was looking for, thanks very much.

I also bought this over Christmas but from the Boutique in the Trafford centre, £145 but they said 10-12 weeks for delivery, I presume someone is walking over with it?

Great!....glad it worked out.

Personally I think the Heuer style deployments are great, I've converted a lot of straps to this style. You can get the perfect sizing and then grip the strap in place, I also think it gives the straps a nice clean look.

Seems sorted, but there may have been a fallacy in the original conundrum:

Can't buy a normal strap and fit a deployant as there will be a notch showing where the buckle end meets the clasp.

insofar as the notch of a tang buckle strap doesn’t show with a deployant where the tongue side of the strap overlaps it on the wrist.

With this type of clasp, the buckle end sits on the outside with the clasp closed.

Yep, I see the difficulty with that type.
