Photos help a great deal. Could you post one?

Let me restate your question to make sure I understand it. You have an Aqua Terra Big Chrono. I am guessing it is on a bracelet or has a strap with a standard buckle.

You purchased an Omega deployant buckle, which has a 20mm opening, if I understand you correctly. To use this deployant buckle with this watch, you need a non-tapered 20mm strap, if I have followed you.

If these are the facts, you have two issues. Most straps have a taper, including most Omega straps, say from 20mm to 18mm. Omega deployants require a strap without a "keeper", the leather loop that keeps the excess strap against your wrist. Both are relatively uncommon.

I suspect you may have purchased an Omega deployant too large for the straps designed for the watch. The Omega catalog that most ADs have list the strap and buckle combinations Omega sells with the watch. If they don't sell this combination, look for a strap that uses your buckle and doesn't have a taper, or contact Omega After Sales.

Failing that, I have a customer leather shop who makes straps to order for me, and does very well.
