Speedy Pro Lovers Weigh-in

Thinking of giving the bracelet on my Speedmaster Professional a rest during the winter months. The deployant clasp is on its way but I still haven't decided on which leather strap I want to buy. Many have suggested the Hirsch Medici, which fits nicely with its curved ends.

I will be wearing this strap both at work and at play.

Please weigh-in with your thoughts and suggestions. I am open to opinions on both style and color.

Thank you

The secret ingredient... is sweat! Several weeks before that picture was taken, I'd been on vacation in Kyoto and spent half the day walking around in 35C heat. The aging process took just a few hours. Once the top layer of the strap went damp... that was it. The following day I had it on a NATO strap to prevent further damage.

Here's how it looked when I first got it:

Holey!

Omega makes a very nice, black, curved-end rally strap for the 18mm deployant (OME-98000024). At $151 on Ofrei, it's way more expensive than Hirsch, but it's a relative bargain as far as OEM Omega straps go.

This might be in the running; thanks M!

B,

I've always liked a rally strap on the Speedmaster, of course I can't find a photo with a black strap on my old Speedy that DB2 now owns. ;) I have a black smooth calf skin version from Squinky like the photo below with a signed Omega SS buckle -it's yours if you want it, I've only worn it 3-4 times.
