Strap for Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch CK2915

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch CK2915 has a lug width of 19 millimeters. This width is specific to this original reference and it is important to measure it with precision using a digital caliper, as CK2915 lugs have a characteristic tapered shape. The depth of the holes varies between 3.5 and 4 millimeters.

For the CK2915, an alligator in cognac or brown tones represents the most coherent choice with the original history of the watch. Alligator leather features a large grain texture that pairs perfectly with the vintage case design. Valid alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan, which develop a fascinating patina over time.

To change the strap on a CK2915 Speedmaster, it is necessary to remove the lugs using a specific tool (spring bar tool) or by relying on a watchmaker. Insert the tool into the lateral hole of the lug, release the internal spring and extract the lug from the case. Insert the new strap into the seats, ensuring that the lugs are fully clicked into place. Always verify that there is no excessive play.

Yes, any strap with a 19mm lug width is compatible with the CK2915. It is important to verify that the hole depth is between 3.5 and 4 millimeters and that the strap thickness does not exceed 4.5mm. Custom bespoke straps guarantee a perfect fit and construction quality that honors the historical importance of the watch.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the material and use. High-quality alligator or shell cordovan, with appropriate maintenance, lasts between 3 and 5 years of daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf can last 2-3 years. Factors such as exposure to sweat, humidity and lack of protection from UV rays accelerate aging. Rotating between two straps significantly extends their lifespan.
