Strap Guide: Omega Seamaster 300m

Strap Guide written by @watcheswithchiri. Thank you Chiri!

Introduction

Introduced back in 1957, the Omega Seamaster was designed to be a tough, go-anywhere dive watch, built for underwater adventures and practically any environment, quickly becoming a favourite among watch enthusiasts. The design has evolved over the years, but it’s always maintained that rugged, versatile appeal. Over time, the Seamaster 300 has earned a reputation for adventure, precision, and reliability... I mean, it's James Bond’s go-to watch. With a solid foundation in quality and durability, the Seamaster 300 in green (the best version, in my opinion) is the perfect watch to pair with a variety of straps, from the super-tough sailcloth to the sleek, elegant Alcantara. At the end of the day, it's such a versatile watch that you can easily dress it up or dress it down, depending on the occasion—something that's not so easy to find in tool watches.

Hunter Green Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature

Simply lovely. The Hunter Green Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature Strap adds a refined "business casual" touch to your watch, making it versatile for any occasion. Crafted for comfort, this strap moulds perfectly to the wrist for a seamless fit. The rich Hunter Green colour pairs beautifully with the bezel and dial, showcasing a deep, elegant tone that reveals a striking emerald hue under the right light. A perfect blend of coolness and functionality.

White Sailcloth Signature

Looking for the perfect accessory for next summer? The Sailcloth Signature Strap is the ideal match for your Seamaster 300, transforming it into the ultimate summer watch. Crafted from durable FKM rubber, it’s incredibly comfortable and versatile for those sunny days. The crisp white strap makes your watch stand out and is sure to catch everyone’s attention. A dive watch paired with a tough, weather-ready strap? It just makes sense!

Cream Epsom Slim

Want to give your Seamaster 300 a softer vibe? Simple... just pair it with the "Cream Epsom Slim Strap." This sleek strap fits perfectly on your wrist and adds the versatility you need to complement your autumn outfits. In my opinion, this combo works for any occasion, whether you're heading out with friends or going to work. Want a recommendation? Get the "Spring Deployant Clasp" and thank me later!

Cognac Shell Cordovan Slim

Trying to achieve that old-money look? Easy, the answer is called “Cognac Shell Cordovan.” This slim strap gives your Seamaster a classic, slightly woody vibe (if that makes sense). Whether you’re wearing it while sipping whiskey with a cigar or enjoying a family barbecue, this combination is pure functionality, style, and quality. The natural color of the strap ages beautifully over time, enhancing and highlighting the unique properties of this premium leather.

Emerald Green Rubber CTS

OK... let's address the elephant in the room. It was simply impossible not to swap the OEM green rubber strap for the much more versatile and sexier “Rubber CTS Emerald Green.” This strap perfectly complements a watch designed for everyday use and is resistant to all types of weather, including diving up to 200 meters something that probably none of us (desk divers) will ever do! But jokes aside, the CTS strap is a step above what the brand offers in terms of quality and functionality. As if that weren’t enough, the deployment clasp is flawless, and together with the strap, it delivers a much more premium experience than the cost of this combo would suggest.

Sand Alcantara Signature

We can all agree that the Omega Seamaster has always been known as a functional, all-terrain watch. Given its reputation for toughness, you might think a material as soft as Alcantara wouldn’t stand up to it...and that could be true, given the textile properties. However, let’s be honest, most people would never wear this watch in harsh environments and would prefer to use it in everyday situations, which is why combining the watch’s ruggedness with the elegance of the strap makes perfect sense. The “Sand Alcantara” strap gives the watch a more refined aesthetic, pairing its velvety texture with the subtle waves of the dial, creating the perfect blend for daily wear. It’s like having the best of both worlds. And let’s face it... this combo is absolutely stunning.
