Omega Fold Over Clasp (and strap)

Post by mattcantwin » Thu Jan 10, 2019 11:21 am

When Rob (at Topper's) told me he had a previously owned PO for sale, I was intrigued by the included strap/clasp.

I've only tried the watch on with the bracelet; loved the change at the end links and the fit of the watch on the bracelet.


However, the watch arrived on strap and after wearing it I've decided to leave it on the strap for a good while.


Solid construction.

The two button release and Omego logo are polished, the rest of the exposed parts brushed.

Closes securely and won't release if only one button is depressed.

Tail end is hidden, the look is clean and tapered thickness from the lug end of strap makes it comfortable under the wrist..

Bottom line:

I've always been put off by the cost of the Omega OEM strap and clasp, but it may well be worth the cost...

providing, of course, you hit the right fit on one of the existing holes.

It’s a fantastic option, although a pricey one to buy. Nice.

I've got the same clasp on the OEM rally strap for my Speedmaster. Great option when you want a change from the bracelet.
