The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is one of the most strap-friendly watches ever made. Its black dial and chronograph registers work with almost any leather.
What size strap does a Speedmaster take?
The Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional (42 mm) takes a 20 mm strap. Other popular Omegas: Seamaster Diver 300M (42 mm) is also 20 mm, Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M (41 mm) and Planet Ocean 600M (43.5 mm) are 21 mm. See the full Omega lug width guide.
Best strap styles for a Speedmaster
- Racing strap: the natural partner for a racing chronograph; try black with white stitching or a red underlay.
- Brown or cognac patina: gives the Speedmaster a vintage, tropical-dial feel.
- Grey or navy calfskin: understated and easy to wear every day.
- Rally strap: large round holes for a bold 1970s look.
Thickness
The Speedmaster case is fairly thick, so a lightly padded strap balances it best. Taper the strap from 20 mm at the lugs to 18 mm at the buckle for a classic profile.
