Vintage Omega Seamaster 300 project completed

Hi,

Just before leaving for the summer vacation I was lucky to find a beautiful SM300 I had been fishing for some time!...

Given the incredible beauty of this watch, and although it was initially a tool watch being a diver, I think it has an incredible level of Class and can be worn in business occasions with a suit if dressed adequately. 

So I started thinking about a nice suit, sorry strap for my SM300.  I like trying to match the strap with the watch, so i thought about it and went to visit one of my favorite places, ABP, with a brief:

-Strap has to match with some elements of the dial, usually, with these kind of vintages I try to play with the hands or the indexex or both, or with the bezel, or with the dial itself or all at the same time.

-Usually the indexes turn yellow with these vintages as yours which is beautiful, but this one is more blue/grey.

-Strap has to be dressy enough to be worn in formal business occasions

-As this is a diver, I would like the strap to have some link with the sea, after all it is a Seamaster!  (I couldn't find any Sea Horse leather though)

So, here is the result: 

My Sea Master 300 Model K14755 Cal 552 from 1962 with is new Grey Polished Sting Ray strap,

Enjoy...
