I recently received a request to demonstrate a strap change from bracelet to rubber.
Although more expensive tools can help you change straps efficiently, you don't need any fancy gear to do so. I use a worn out spring bar tool to show this.
I hope this helps with your strap changing needs.
Check out my thoughts on the rubber strap.

I’m not sure what it is about Omega’s spring bars but I can’t remove my metal bracelets from either of my watches of theirs! I respect how easy you made it look
A-ha! Thanks very much. A clear demo that doesn't waste the viewer's time with unnecessary preambles, but dives straight in. It was a succinct and comprehensible exposition. Bravo! You've got teaching chops! 👍😀
Thank you for your kind words!
Nice one! For beginners, I would recommend putting some taps on the lugs so you won’t scratch the lugs by accident.
for anybody at all 👍
It is mind boggling, that at this price point there's no quick release system on the bracelet and the strap. That would cost them pennies, ok, maybe few dollars more, that they would pass on the customer anyway, so why?
Tag and Longines have some on their watches. I wish it would become standard across the industry.
But then there would be no scratches that people would have to send in for servicing to get polished out
Finally a clear tutorial without unecessary parts!
Thank you this did the trick even on my first generation 2504.50
Thanks for making this video!
@@JB-ou6fl Thanks for checking it out!
literally can not get the strap to come off and I am about to smash the thing. Appreciate ur video but this system they have is a rage inducer.
This is a big reason why I might not purchase for my AT. A year later does it get any easier changing the strap out?
same for me, stupid system
Hey man, thanks for the vid! Had my 41 mm AT for 3 months now on a bracelete and wanted to changed to the rubber one for the summer. Can't find the original strap in omega's web site. They have like diferent options but not the one that comes with the AT? Where could i find it? Or do u have any recomendation fron other brand? Thanks mate
I had to call a boutique to order it in. I just told them I wanted the OEM Aqua Terra strap for the 41mm version.
Could you please show how to put the clasp and rubber straps together?
Thank you for this video, you make it look so easy!
Great video! Thanks for the info! Question, has the rubber maintained its elasticity/flexibility in the past year?
Yep, it hasn't changed at all.
Is it possible to use Omega Seamaster 300m's rubber strap on Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra? They both have 20mm between lugs but 300m has green rubber strap and Aqua Terra doesn't :(
Unfortunately I don't own any Seamaster 300 to try it, so I honestly have no idea.
yes it fits the aqua terra
PLEASE RESPOND. I have the watch, took the bracelet off the other day, and GOOD GOSH I could not get it back on the bracelet without a second spring bar tool.
On my omega diver, I have changed the bracelet more times than I can count, swapping it to lots of different straps, and put in the bracelet back on. For some reason the Aqua Terra case just doesn’t seem to let one end of the spring bar sit down while pressure would be put on the other side to get it back in (on the bracelet). Spring bar tweezers would do it, though I don’t own them. Luckily I took it off with someone that had their own spring bar tool so I could hold one in each hand and pinch the damn thing back in.
Am I being ridiculous, or is it genuinely impossible to put the bracelet back in with a single spring bar tool?
I only use one spring bar tool. Make sure one end of the spring bar is pressing against the wall of the lug, this will help you keep one of the sides pressed down which should give you enough room to push down and slide in the other side.
Are you using the original spring bars? If you're using aftermarket spring bars, some have tiny differences in manufacturing that may cause them to be too big or too small. If you're using your original spring bars, it could be an issue with those.
Great video, very helpful! I’m considering this rubber strap but not sure if it’ll be too large for my 16.5cm wrist ??
My wrist is about the same size and it fits comfortably. I'm not sure if they do, but Omega might have shorter length options.
Thanks for doing the vid
Thanks. I was nervous as it was so tight....(lol).
So great and beautiful watch ⌚️ 😍 👌 😊 ❤️❤️❤️👍
Where can I get the original blue rubber strap? Can not find it anywhere. Only other omega straps on their website. Cheers!
You would have to call them up and order one or go into the boutique in person.
Have you been successful on your search? Bc I'm also interested in buying an original rubber strap for the Aqua Terra...
And how much is the original rubber strap at omega?
Is there a reference number for that exact strap or a certain name?
I just called an omega boutique near me and asked them to order in a black Aqua Terra rubber strap for the Aqua Terra 41. You will also need to make sure you ask for the small steel endlinks pieces and the clasp if you don't already own one.
Is the Omega fold-over clasp hardware compatible with the Artem sail cloth strap you reviewed?
The clasp from the bracelet or the one used with rubber straps?
@@welcomewrist Can you use the folder-over clasp hardware from the Omega rubber strap on the Artem sail cloth strap?
@@bellerophon9116 I just tried this with the Loopless Artem strap and it is indeed compatible.
@@welcomewrist Great!
hi!! do you know how to open the buckle (where it says OMEGA)
There are two buttons that you press, then the other part of the clasp is friction fit, so just lift it up.
thx
By this way you leave a tiny scratches inside the lugs by a tip of a springbar…
Is there an alternative method to avoid scratches?
Greeting! Where to buy these bracelet links?
The bracelet came with the watch and I purchased the rubber strap from Omega, but I had to order it through the boutique.
@@welcomewrist Today I also wanted to order the original buckle and rubber bracelet in Omega, but the two metal links do not come with the bracelet
@@marinkoperis the metal end links are seperate pieces that you can order from the boutique.
How much for this rubber strap?
Here is the cost breakdown in AUD:
Rubber = $380
Clasp = $380
Steel end links = $240 ($120 each)
Total = $1000 (tax is included in the price in Australia)
This is so stupid, I can only open one spring bar. As soon try to open the second, the first closes. The engineer who has designed that belongs in hell.
It can be a little finiky, but once you get the hang of it, you will be a pro. Try to keep pressure behind the strap/bracelet so the spring bar doesn't slide back into place.

Where did you get rubber strap, is there an outlet or web site for them or is it from omega themselves.
From Omega themselves
How much was it if you dont mind me asking?
