It’s not possible. But I want it to be.
I really love the “baby” reef from Formex and I think it would absolutely fantastic on a aquanauts strap. It’s not possible based on size and curvature of the end but I mocked this up anyway! I’ve looked all over the internet trying to find something that would work to no avail. If you come across a 22mm rubber strap that has some of the flair of the Aquanaut strap and straight ends lmk!

@Formex Markus, you seeing this? 😍

Oh wow, direct access 😂 @Formex at least a green rubber option from the factory would be cool!
That does look 🔥! Although our rubber strap has a custom quick release system, the Reef fits most 3rd party straps with straight 22mm springbars. Is it the curvature you like about the Aquanaut strap?

No, not necessarily I like the straight strap of the Reef, mostly the texture and color of the 5168 strap that looks great. It’s been hard to find the right color green in 22mm!

Can you by chance look into bringing the bronze dial to the baby Reef please? 😇

It’s the perfect green watch that doesn’t exist 😂
Maybe something like this?
Marcus gave me a preview of these at Windup last year and that green combo may be the third Formex in the collection. Love the size. Have to say nice mockup @UpperRoom, it looks cool

I think the green is not earthy enough!

I’m thinking it will be okay ok on wrist, I have a 6.5” 16.5cm wrist and a omega 300 was big for sure.
Here’s the “Italian rubber” strap from Zuludiver, comes in 22mm and it probably the best looking one I can find at the moment.
Aquanaut style strap on the straight case of the Formex. I do think the rounded looks better but I would rock this as well if I find a way to do it.

I have a similarly sized wrist, it wore pretty well, granted not all wrists are alike.

Good to know!
Looks amazing 👏

I’ll buy a baby reef if you can make this look happen
