Here is what it looks like from the underside of my wrist:Īnd here it is from the topside. As you can see in this picture, on my small wrist there really is no overhang: ![]() The strap flares down rather aggressively once it leaves the case. Now look at the Seamaster in the same position, the watch head doesn't droop:Ī note about the fit. Here is a picture how a watch usually will droop on my wrist when I have it horizontal: The rubber strap has the perfect amount of "give" and structure to secure it on my wrist in generally the same position, no matter what. Like I said before, I have a 6.5" wrist, so usually 42mm watches look large on me. This rubber keeps the watch in place the best out of any strap/bracelet/nato I have ever had. I have a small 6.5" wrist, so the weight of most watches + steel bracelet = slip city. Using bracelets, even with the Glidelock Clasp, my watch would always slide up and down on my wrist. On a hot day, my wrist with my watch is one of the first things that seems to sweat. These do work though, I will vouch for them. I thought it was marketing bs to have these types of "vents" on rubber straps, mainly because I have never owned a decent one before. If I am correct, the keeper is titanium and integrated into the strap, so it does not flex at all. I should also note, the fixed keeper branded OMEGA is 100% stiff. Keeps the perfect length of tail out of the end. This is one detail that I will miss on future straps that I own. It plugs in right where the triangle hole is as seen here: This little gem is to keep the floating keeper locks it into the strap tail. The floating keeper has this little peg that sticks out. No gaps, tight fit, and no movement anywhere near the lug area. It also lays with the bracelet extremely comfortable and pretty flat for how beefy the clasp is. It makes it feel like it belongs to the watch in an integral type of way. The profiles resembles the lugs of the watch head in a tasteful way. I can see why these are backordered as they don't feel like an item that can be rushed. It's very robust and they did not skimp on the machining. Simply put, it's the best clasp I have ever used. Something about this hue of blue in both the watch and the strap make it extremely versatile for my lifestyle 99% of the time. I allow myself one nice watch, and I want something I can wear with anything. Having said that, I need a watch I can wear literally daily, 7 days a week. I am not trying to brag, remember, I only own one of these at a time, I don't have a collection of watches. I have had the lucky opportunity through selling and trading around to experience many brands and models from Rolex, Omega, Panerai, IWC, etc. I only own 1 expensive watch (this one) at a time. Without them, the band would be way too bland (looking at your previous Planet Ocean rubber strap).Ĭolor: I am typically a black dial/stainless bracelet type of guy. The brushed vertical lines break up the satin base of the strap nicely. I am not the biggest fan of the Bond style bracelet, and have admired AP's Offshores with rubber straps because of the simplicity of the band. ![]() Anyway here it is.ĭesign: The reason I liked the rubber strap over the bracelet is the simplicity of the strap. The reason for the review is just fill the void I seemed to have run into when trying to get more info on just the rubber strap. I don't mind the look of the new bracelet, but I prefer the look of the watch on the rubber, and I also wanted to try out a rubber strap as I have never had a dive watch with a rubber strap. When I was researching this watch, I knew I wanted it on the rubber strap if I did end up purchasing one. ![]() This is my review of the Rubber Strap that comes on the new 2018 Seamaster 300m.
