Strap for Seamaster Diver 300M Quartz 28 Yellow Gold / White / Bracelet

The lug width of the Seamaster Diver 300M ref. 2182.20.00 is 20 millimetres. This width is standard for this model and must correspond exactly to ensure proper aesthetic integration between case and strap. You can verify it by measuring the distance between the two attachment lugs at the case extremities with a digital calliper.

For the Seamaster Diver 300M 2182.20.00 in yellow gold we recommend alligator leather (cognac or palomino) to maximize aesthetic sophistication. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops patina over time, while shell cordovan offers intrinsic brilliance. To maintain its diving vocation, a technical rubber strap or blue NATO strap is perfect for sporty use.

Remove the two attachment pins using a spring bar tool (specific fork-shaped instrument), working gently from the rear of the case. Position the new 20mm strap at the extremities, align the pins and push until you hear a click. Avoid using a hammer: precision is essential to avoid scratching the gold or damaging the pins themselves.

Absolutely yes. Quality artisanal aftermarket straps — particularly those made in Italy with alligator or shell cordovan — are appreciated by collectors as aesthetic and functional upgrades. It is important to preserve the original Omega strap in case of future sale. A custom personalised strap adds value to the ownership experience without compromising the integrity of the watch.

A fine leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, up to 8-10 years with careful maintenance and seasonal rotation. For the Seamaster Diver 300M, we recommend not exposing the strap to prolonged water immersion; for water use, prefer a rubber or NATO strap. Periodic cleaning with a specific product significantly extends leather longevity.
