obris morgan explorer strap options

[mellons]

i thought it would be interesting to see what other strap options there are out there for the obris morgan explorer. Here are a few combos I tried myself to kick off. If you have others please post!

from initial images it looked so well on the bracelet I thought it had been designed for it.

On receipt straight away I opted for the oem rubber, my default fav for a dive watch. The supplied rubber is no isofrane but it is the equal to similar offerings by helson/ armida imho








I then tried it on a waterproof sharkie (budda jones strap modded by dow) with sewn-in pre-v sterile buckle. Very comfortable









Then back to a natural rubber strap- a bonetto cinturini. Very comfortable and weighed in at only 113g







finally i went back to the bracelet. Here it is sized for 7.5" wrist. The bracelet has chunky screw-pins and it brings the combined wright up towards 200g. Fit and finish is great, signed clasp etc. Quality on a par with strapcode etc. Looks super- a dress tool diver! All in an amazing offering for under $300- I keep comparing this to armida/ helson etc. Bezel action is similar to my old helson sharkmaster and dial/ hands look great. Accuracy is within + 10 secs per day.

Great looking watch! I reminds me a little of my Helson Sharkmaster, but I like the bracelet (and the price) better. Dare I say that a mesh bracelet would look good on there?

I'm seriously tempted to pick up the blue version of the Explorer.

I'm seriously considering picking one of these up in brushed with black dial, think import duties to the uk is about £36 but still makes it great value. Reads 42mm on the site is this correct mellons?
