Speedy 60th on distressed leather strap
I appreciate the bracelet’s original design/aesthetic + robust modern construction and clasp, but have found the feeling from the look to be a bit stark on the wrist when it comes to styling the piece with attire - an entirely different purpose, of course. So, I have typically worn with the grey/black Omega nato as posted previously, and occasionally with the dark brown factory leather strap that comes in the kit. However, I recently spent some time fitting a distressed leather Hodinkee strap to the piece, including placing the polished Omega logo pin buckle for use on the strap, vs the brushed metal pin buckle that came with it ... and this is my favorite luck thus far. Really warms up the piece and the contract between the polished facets of the case and the soft light brown leather, really stirkes me. Have really been enjoying the piece anew with this setup.
When it comes to leather straps or nato the options are endless.
What ever mood you are in you can have a strap to match. A bracelet is a bracelet. Obviously there are some choice in bracelets mesh vs beads of rice vs a oyster style etc, but a lot harder to acheive.
Wow very cool ideas there
Love the green leather/suede in first pic, and is that a purple nato on the Tudor!? My fav color - but I have never seen a Nato in this color!
Very good combo, my friend. The strap adds some character to the Speedmaster. [nt]

nice!
love this combination so much, can you tell me which strap are you using? i saw on hodinkee website but its 20mm wide.
It is the Hodinkee strap - 20mm
Originally bought it for use on Exp II and Speedy 145.012, but, I was eyeballing it and noticed that it fits this watch nicely as well, to my surprise! I then noticed that several other 20mm straps I have also fit it nicely.... which made be think - perhaps the lug spacing is more like somewhere between 19 and 20mm (and of course the materials of some straps are more flexible than others). I don’t have calipers but wouldn’t be surprised if the stated 19mm is a rounded number, as many are in this realm.
