Yeah.... And 19mm natos too. But they are difficult to find (I've bought them on eBay in the past)

That's what I thought, but I recently read a review that it was 21mm. I'm not sure if that's correct, but the bracelet looks slightly wide - I'm not sure if it's an optical illusion due to the design, or if it's really slightly wider than standard.

Don't worry, I'm sure Omega will have 21mm NATOs that will fit perfectly.

I wonder about the mesh. I know not everyone likes it, but I think this watch would be perfect on mesh with the Ploprof style clasp.

22mm nato should look fine if it's 21mm.

That's a very good-looking watch.

I don't understand the practice of putting a diver's model on strap that can't handle a soaking, however. :shrug:

+1

$200 NATOs aren't intended for working divers either.

Thanks for posting Andrew, looks better on a wrist, but those lugs are still pretty damn long.

They do Art. I'm actually thinking that might be a good thing given that the watch is 41mm. Hoping to try one on at my local boutique in the next week or so and we'll see.

I think the lugs are too long, the crown much bigger than the original... and can't help but wonder what the lume will look like in 40 years. Also if I picked one up it's bracelet all the way!
