Deployant strap swap C5 anyone - brown for black?

Post by Steve D »

As above, I have a brown deployant strap on my C5 slimline and would like to swap for a black one. Anyone interested?

Okay then, no takers lol. A question, can I just buy a generic black deployant strap that fits on my clasp? Any recommendations?

Should be able to, presuming you are referring to the Bader deployant, not CW's earlier butterfly deployant.

You just need to get the right strap lengths, for a good fit.

This Black Omega style one might be suitable.

The strap Guy has pointed you at should work beautifully if your watch has 20mm lugs, as the Bader will be 18mm - these straps taper to 18, so should work very well. You may also find that the Omega strap lengths sit the Bader clasp slightly better on your wrist than the standard CW one does.

If, however, your watch has 22mm lugs, be aware that the Omega strap still tapers to 18mm. CW straps taper from 22 to 20mm - not 18, so it won’t fit the Bader. I find that I need to look carefully before buying, or get custom made sizes for the 22/20 fitment.
