gran Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 What is the best or most comfortable deployant for leathers straps out there regardless of brand and make? Typical OMEGA deployment can be a little uncomfortable due to its too great curvature The strap and closing mechanism on a watch is the final but important factor making a watch beautiful and enjoyable to wear I am sitting here with my 4th generation 42mm OMEGA PO on a genuine OMEGA leather strap with genuine fold, push buttons, flip lock deployant. It is nice but is it really comfortable enough? I have to say that in my experience that both the metal BRACELETS and oldfasion buckle straps are the most comfortable on my wrist My hypothesis: I suspect that true double deploymants are more comfortable than single ones are What is your experience with deployants?

mastrmindalliance Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I wear at least a dozen watches with deployments and the most comfortable (rep or gen) would be the rep Tag calibre1 deploy: I think that it's so thin and fine is what makes this one so comfortable. Edit: sorry, you said leather. Will post back with a leather strap on (if it's still as comfy heh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchnRoll Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 For me it is the Breitling deployant which is very similar to the Tag seen above. It's sturdy, comfy and I really enjoy wearing it on the Skyland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theflyingdutchman Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 hublot ... True! No issues at all! But AP is a nasty little MF-pain-on-the-wrist-bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytox Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 My Chopard one is pretty smooth to wear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactower Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 The deployment on my Rolex DSSD, by far the most comfortable, esp since I can micro-adjust it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gran Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 The deployment on my Rolex DSSD, by far the most comfortable, esp since I can micro-adjust it. Is that on a leather strap or a SS bracelet Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactower Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's the SS band deployment on the DSSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thogaa Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 The Breitling dep on Ocean Diver straps are brilliant - not leather though And the worst: AP rep deployments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 hublot ... +1.. The Hube lot Is without a doubt my most comfortable deployant. The quality of the rubber strap Is quite Impressive to boot. Good thread topic Gran Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: sorry, you said leather. Will post back with a leather strap on (if it's still as comfy heh) I compleatly agree with you, my tag carrera deployment is the most confortable, next is the butterfly style deployment. I don't like the regular style deployment, don't make a nice dome and wears out the straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vafarmer70 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hands down Breitling Ocean Racer Deployant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have to say that in my experience that both the metal BRACELETS and oldfasion buckle straps are the most comfortable on my wrist My hypothesis: I suspect that true double deploymants are more comfortable than single ones are I agree. I'm not too keen on strap deployants which have the surplus strap on the inside of the strap, as I feel it holds the watch too firmly in place on the wrist, but that's just my preference to not have a watch too tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I must agree that the most comfortable deployment clasp out there has to be the Omega that fits the vintage rubber strap I wear on my 2254.50. Also this clasp gives me the largest degree of flexibility as far as adjustment on the wrist than any other I can think of. A truley brillant design IMO. I am also fond of the SS clasp on my Ocean Racer strap on my BSO Heritage. Both of these deployments are VERY comfortable. Another that I like for super light weight and comfort is the deployment clasp on my PP Aquanaut. That one (Not pictured) is super small in comparison to these two, and very lightweight as well. In fact the whole outfit on the Aquanaut is superlightweight and extremely comfortable. Watch case, rubber strap, AND deployment. In fact rubber straps for weight and comfort are pretty much my favorite feel and fit. Which I guess, the reason I wear these three watches so much more regularly than many of my SS bracelet equipped watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangle Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 My gen Breitling deployant is really comfortable, but my Chopard rep deployant looks a lot nicer, there is something about the chopard which looks so "classy". My SS GMT2c bracelet is my best all metal strap but I have it extended using the addition 5mm easylink, I would love to try a rolex with the glidelock.
