Badalassi Strap for Omega Speedmaster 57 (Olive)
The Omega Speedmaster '57 is the dressier side of the Speedmaster line - a clean two-register chronograph that does not need to shout - and this owner leaned into that with an earthy leather instead of the usual black. The build is a Badalassi strap for the Omega Speedmaster '57 in olive green, 18 mm, finished on a stainless deployant clasp.

Why these choices
Badalassi Wax, the Pueblo and Minerva Wax leathers from Badalassi Carlo, is a wax pull-up vegetable-tanned leather. The wax worked into the fibers means the surface lightens and shifts tone as it flexes, and the strap deepens with wear. That is what makes olive green work here: it reads muted and outdoorsy now, and it gains character over time rather than staying flat and uniform.
The deployant clasp was the customer's call, and it suits a Speedmaster. It keeps the strap fastened without folding the leather back through a keeper, so there is less wear at the buckle end and the watch goes on the wrist the same way every time. On a chronograph you put on and take off often, that also protects the strap tip from the daily bending that eventually cracks leather. A regular spring bar fitment keeps it secure.
Olive is an unusual choice on a Speedmaster, and that is the point. It sets the watch apart from the black-strap default without straying into loud territory, and the green sits well against both the steel case and the white registers of the '57 dial.
