So, let's go over this in summary. The current generation Omega Speedmaster models are available in three-ish flavors: bracelet, nylon strap, link and leather strap. The bracelet on the sapphire version has polished elements, while the Hesalite option is fully brushed. You can only buy the nylon option on a link Hesalite Speedmaster. You can link only buy the leather option on the Sapphire Speedmaster.

Unfortunately, the style's popularity waned as the 1960s progressed and the concept of suburban conformity came under attack, yielding the idea of formal link dress watches as passe (that's French for "so last year!") by the younger generation. Dress watches, link like many other trappings of link middle- and upper-class American life, became symbols of the dreaded establishment, no longer desired by the restless youthful masses.
