In Response To: blue strap ()

: I was wondering is this include the buckle ?
: and is anyone know how much it will cost me ?

The blue sharkskin band shown in that photo is part number 021 97498079 and *does* include the Omega buckle. The USA retail price when I bought one a couple of years ago was $93.00.

But you can buy a blue sharkskin strap from any number of makers that fits the watch equally well. Get a 20mm strap for the full size SMP or an 18mm strap for the mid-size SMP. Most of the Hirsch genuine sharkskin and shark-textured leather straps are waterproof up to 100 meters! The Omega sharkskin straps are *not* water resistant.

If you get a non-Omega strap that takes a 16mm buckle, you can order the Omega buckle separately from www.ofrei.com for about $15. But many heavier straps require an 18mm buckle, which is not readily available separate from Omega.
