Omega does not make watch straps they buy them from strap makers. As can you. Check out the 'Sales Corner' in the 'Community' section here at: www.timezone.com. There are usually a number of sellers of watch accessories including quality straps. I tend to avoid the place unless absolutely necessary as I don't need another watch. This site: http://www.ofrei.com/index.html I don't know but it may be of some interest to you.
