Strap for Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial 42 Stainless Steel / Diamond / Black / Alligator

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean reference 232.18.42.21.01.001 features a 20mm lug width, measured between the two case lugs. This measurement is standard for the 42mm model and fits perfectly with any 20mm strap available on the market.

For the Seamaster Planet Ocean 42mm we recommend a quality alligator strap with natural grain if you seek elegance, or vegetable-tanned calf leather for durability and patina development over time. For frequent water use, premium FKM rubber is the most practical technical choice. NATO remains true to the model's military heritage.

The Seamaster Planet Ocean 232.18.42.21.01.001 features a screwed lug: insert a small screwdriver into the hole on the case lug and turn counterclockwise to loosen the pin. Once removed, the strap comes off easily. Slide on the new 20mm strap, align the holes, and secure the pin by turning clockwise until fully tightened.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Seamaster Planet Ocean 232.18.42.21.01.001. Online you will find 20mm straps in alligator, calf leather, NATO, rubber, and other materials, all adaptable without case modifications. Choose according to your style and usage needs.

An authentic leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) on a Seamaster Planet Ocean typically lasts 4-7 years with regular use, provided you protect it from excessive perspiration and prolonged immersion. Vegetable tanning improves with use, developing patina and character. Rubber and NATO straps last longer, 7-10 years, thanks to their resistance to environmental factors.
