Which strap for an Omega Speedmaster? Our recommendations

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is the most famous chronograph in history. Its flat-link steel bracelet is iconic, but the Speedy also looks magnificent on other straps. Here are our favorite combinations.

Technical Specifications

The Speedmaster Professional uses a 20mm lug width. Reduced versions (38mm) use 19mm. Check your reference with our measurement guide.

The NATO: History Speaks

The Speedmaster and the NATO have a shared history. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin wore his Speedmaster on a Velcro strap during the Apollo 11 mission. Since then, the NATO has become the go-to alternative strap for the Speedy. A grey NATO on a black Speedmaster is a timeless combination.

The Rally Strap: The Perfect Match

The Speedmaster was born for motor racing. A perforated leather rally strap is therefore its natural companion. The perforations add a sporty and vintage touch that enhances the chronograph. Look for a 20mm rally strap in our leather straps.

Vintage Leather: The Lunar Spirit

A distressed brown or cognac leather gives the Speedmaster an irresistible retro charm. This combination evokes the 60s-70s and works equally well with jeans or a sport jacket. See our vintage straps.

Rubber: For Sport

A 20mm FKM rubber strap transforms the Speedmaster into a versatile sports watch. Ideal for those who wear their Speedy in all circumstances.

Our Selection for the Speedmaster

  • Classic: Grey or black 20mm NATO
  • Vintage: Cognac perforated leather rally strap, 20mm
  • Dressy: Smooth black calfskin or alligator leather
  • Sport: Black 20mm FKM rubber

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the NATO suitable for the Speedmaster?

It's one of the best combinations out there. The thickness under the case is minimal on the Speedy thanks to its flat case back.

Which rally strap for the Speedmaster?

A smooth or suede leather rally strap, 20mm, with medium-sized perforations. Cognac, dark brown, and black are the most suitable colors.

Can the Speedmaster go in the water with a leather strap?

The Speedmaster Professional is only water-resistant to 50m. With a classic leather strap, avoid immersion. Opt for a rubber or nylon NATO for aquatic activities.
