Time to read 7 min
Introduction
In 2021, Omega took their Seamaster and made it fit for today's James Bond. It was the 9th time that the two collaborated and this time around, Omega made the watch you see on screen part of their main collection. Dubbed the NTTD Seamaster, this watch was (and is currently) available from Omega with a beautiful mesh bracelet or a nylon watch strap (Reference's 210.90.42.20.01.001 and 210.92.42.20.01.001 respectfully).
The Seamaster is made from grade 2 titanium which makes it lighter yet hard wearing. Perfect for Bond when he goes on these epic chases through unreal scenery or is face to face with a villain. Great for Bond but Titanium watches can be a little tricky to pair straps to which is why we have grabbed 5 of our favourites and fitted them to this awesome Seamaster.
We cannot deny that this Seamaster looks incredible on the titanium mesh bracelet that it comes with but when you fancy a change, here are the 5 straps we think you should consider.
The No Time To Die Seamaster was the first of the new generation of Seamaster Diver 300m, since the release of the NTTD, Omega has continued releasing Seamaster's with obvious nods back to the 2021 NTTD, one of our favourites being the new Bronze gold on Titanium edition with it's beautiful green dial.

Our Top watch straps for the OMEGA Seamaster NTTD are:
Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 'No Time to Die'
"The proper function of man is to live, not to exist."
1. Tropic Dive Strap in Brown
First up is the brown rubber dive strap by Tropic. If you were looking for a rubber watch strap for your NTTD Seamaster then this one should be it. What we love most about this pairing is if you didn't know any better, you'd think the strap was made specifically for this watch. The colours match perfectly and the vintage inspired styling of the Tropic strap speaks to the faux patina of the Seamaster.
This strap would be cemented in to the strap rotation for this watch. If you weren't keen on the brown version of this strap, the black could and would also work well.
Since the reintroduction of the official Tropic watch strap, they have been very popular. Undergoing a few updates recently, the collection is now stronger than ever. You can take a look at all available colours in our Tropic Dive Strap collection.
2. RIOS1931 French Strap in Cashmere
We picked out the RIOS1931 French as a strap option for those that might want to elevate the look and feel of the watch without going for a croc or alligator strap. If you don't know of the French, it is a strap that is modelled on a certain French fashion house known for their beautiful leather.
This cashmere colour complements the brown on the Seamaster nicely whilst speaking to the faux patina at the same time. If Cashmere isn't for you, the French also comes in other colours that would also work well with this watch.
The French is a versatile leather watch strap made from quality materials and delivered at an affordable price. You can get the French in any one of the interesting colours and completely change the look of any watch. See our full range of RIOS1931 French watch straps here.
3. RIOS1931 Mittenwald Strap in Mocha
Watch straps don't come much softer than the organic collection by RIOS1931. Taken from that super supple collection is the Mittenwald which is a vintage style, two stitch watch strap in a deep dark brown with coffee coloured stitching.
Like with every strap we fit to the NTTD Seamaster, we were pleasantly surprised with just how good it looked. The dark brown leather complements the Seamaster so well and gives it a casual look.
If the RIOS1931 Mittendwald looks like a watch strap that you would like to try, you can browse the full collection and take your pick from three colour options. All of which have good width options to suit most watches. All three colour options can be seen here - RIOS1931 Mittenwald Organic Watch Strap
4. JPM Vintage Suede Strap in Beige
Okay, so not every watch strap in this feature is as practical as the NTTD Seamaster. This option is almost purely for the aesthetic. What this strap lacks in practicality, it makes up for in personality with the soft vintage suede topside and artisan finishing.
This beige JPM strap is still hard wearing and it will look better and better as time goes on. It is worth noting though that if you want to push this watch to its limits, the JPM Vintage Strap is not the option for you.
Plucked from the main JPM watch strap range on Watch Obsession, this two stitch style vintage looking watch strap is part of a broader range of beautiful artisan watch straps. All handmade in Italy from premium materials, JPM straps are now well established in the watch world having adorned some serious prestigious timepieces. All of the Vintage Suede JPM straps can be seen here - JPM Vintage Suede
5. Erika's Originals Havana MN Strap with Mokka Centerline
Without sounding too cliché... we might have saved the best for last. You will most certainly agree with us if you like MN straps and the unrivalled comfort and versatility that they offer. This MN strap is from our Erika's Originals collection and this particular model is the Havana with Mokka centerline.
As soon as we fitted this strap, we just knew that it was actually perfect for the NTTD Seamaster. The Havana model draws its colour inspiration from Cuba's most famous export and that cigar brown pairs so well with the brown of the NTTD Seamaster dial. What makes it an even better match is the Mokka centerline that Erika made available in that model. It complements the faux patina and looks as though the two were drawn up together in Bienne.
Many have tried but few can come even remotely close to the quality and comfort of an Erika's Originals MN strap. That is largely down to the passion and commitment that Erika pours in to her straps. Even the elasticated fabric that the straps are made from are designed and manufactured in house by Erika's team.
On Watch Obsession, you will find almost all of the straps Erika offers. When you order from Watch Obsession, you are ordering a strap that is already made up so delivery is quick and you get the strap on your watch quicker. Take a look at the full collection here - Erika's Originals MN Straps
Our favourite moments from the movies 007 would have wanted these straps:
- Tropic Dive Strap - Sean Connery's underwater battle from Thunderball in 1965 would undoubtably have needed a pretty good dive watch straps, and the Seamaster and Tropic combination would easily be up to the task.
- RIOS1931 French - Honey Ryder's beach reveal during 1962's Dr. No. It not only matches the Seamaster perfectly but matches her bikini too, allowing Bond a better ice breaking line than "I was just looking."
- RIOS1931 Mittenwald - Just because your life is in danger, bullets are flying through the air inches from your head and terrorists are coming through the doors faster than Agent Smith in the Matrix doesn't mean you shouldn't look your best when you stop for a drink with Agent Paloma in No Time To Die (2021).
- JPM Vintage Suede - Imagine how comfy that scorpion would have been sat on a soft suede watch strap during Bonds shot of whisky from Skyfall in 2012.
- Erika's Originals MN - Roger Moore's Iconic crocodile leap from Live and Let Die in 1973. Those that remember the scene will know how perfectly the colouring of the strap matches Bonds suit, and if you need more of a reason; Erika's Originals MN straps are highly durable and might have come in handy to strap a crocodiles mouth shut had a fight ensued.
