Flightmasters look great . . .
. . . on straps, Andrew. Since it's not unusual to see them for sale without bracelets (or the full set of links), a strap is a sensible alternative to a NOS bracelet. I had the opportunity recently of seeing a mint 910 on a bund strap, and was able to source these images to share with the forum.

There's an aesthetic effect afforded by a bund strap that seems to work well with many of the large formed case sports watches from the same era as the Flightmaster.

Flightmaster on Leather?
I've never been a fan of original Omega steel bracelets - I suppose the issue is that by today's standards, they are fairly poorly constructed. In addition, I find bracelets uncomfortable as my wrist swells and contracts and I can never seem to get the ad...
It looks awesome and I agree with you
As much as I love my 70s Omegas, the bracelets are PITA, the leather strap looks great and ofcourse the flightmaster is a fantastic watch. Thanks for sharing. S
It looks very nice on leather.
Got to agree with you on this one. Best regards, George
Agree with you...
No doubt a nice leather strap does make a watch stand out. However in this part of the world, where it is humid for better part of the year, a leather strap is only comfortable during winters. Gorgeous Flightmaster. Ed
Nice combo
Odd little coincidence but I just received the buckle this afternoon so off with the bracelet and it's winter strap-time. Great looking Flightmaster, it's been on my wish list for quite a long time....
I like it fine. Maybe I'll like it even more without white stitching.
But it is already very cool don't get me wrong Ruckdee

Actually, that looks fantastic.........
It is always dificult to imagine what a certain watch would look like on a strap until it is fitted. I took some while before I strapped my Flighty and it was the replacing of the bracelet on my Speedie with a strap that gave me the confidence to get a st...
its a bold move putting a flighty on leather, but it works
both the others are often seen on leather so they look fine, but i think this is the first time i've ever seen a flightmaster on leather and it looks good. overall i still prefer the OEM bracelet. G
flightmasters look well on leather straps
I think the flightmaster looks very good on a leather strap but a high quality one , either made by camille fournet or abp but not on a sirtoli or on a hirsch which are average quality straps.
Now you've really got me thinking Andrew.
Thank you for a thought prevoking post! I've never really liked the idea of a flightmaster on leather other than the OEM rally style that it came on as an option back in the day i.e. the one shown here: To be frank I don't really care for these OEM rallys...
