Key takeaways:<\/strong> a Rolex compatible strap<\/strong> or Omega strap is chosen first based on the lug width<\/strong> of your exact reference, measured in millimeters between the lugs: 20 mm on many models, but 21 mm on the 41 mm Submariner, for example. Then check the spring bars, and choose the material: NATO<\/strong> for security and style, perlon<\/strong> for lightness and fine adjustment.<\/p>\n\n

A Rolex or an Omega is most often worn on its original metal bracelet. However, a textile strap completely changes the character of a sports watch: a Submariner on a striped NATO, a Speedmaster on a gray perlon, a Seamaster on a blue nylon. It is also a way to spare the Oyster bracelet or the steel bracelet during holidays, sports, or manual work.<\/p>\n\n

You still need to choose the right size. For these two brands, the width between the lugs varies from one reference to another, sometimes within the same collection. This guide explains how to find it, what distinguishes a compatible strap from an original strap, and how to choose between NATO and perlon in our selections of Rolex compatible straps<\/a> and Omega compatible straps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
