Not sure about the Bader, but one consolation is that the bronze buckle can be used.

And as the strap holes are "rubberised" they're much less susceptible to the wear of a normal nylon strap when used with a tang.

Hi Paul, I also went on a similar search and settled on an Italian Leather from Sydney Strap Co with a third party buckle.. (I needed to have a third-party buckle as I prefer not to have tapered straps on the more rugged, utilitarian watches)

https://www.thesydneystrapco.com/collec ... wn-leather

Feeling slightly sheepish to submit this as a suggestion as it does not comply with your requirement for a deployant and the strap is probably too thick but in terms of materiality, the tan leather works well and the contrast stitching picks up the lume on the hands and indices nicely IMO. Much the same way as it does on your current suede strap...

What I found interesting is that the original, evenly coloured strap that I bought, has gradually developed a "patina" or discolouring of it's own over the last 2 years from general use, oil of my skin, etc. I find the softening and the rich colour that has developed in the leather is complementary to the look of the patinated bronze..

Best of luck with your search..

I had a strap made by Michael Knapp for this watch. I like the way it turned out, a distressed brown leather that doesn’t seem too dressy.

Already mentioned, but I wear any colour Nato with mine, although it came with the blue hybrid.

Hers an example.

Yep, those Sydney leather straps look really good - and it's interesting how they have aged well in keeping with the bronze.

I only got this recently Paul, hence I didn't post when you started the thread.

How about an Elliot Brown webbing strap in dark blue / sky blue, available with bronze pvd buckle.

Much more subdued on a grey perlon. It's funny but I think a blue strap seems to emphasize the blue dial, whereas the grey strap seems to neutralise it a little.

Not a combination I would have thought of!
However, I'm very much inclined to agree with you based on your pic :thumbup:
It also very much gives the impression of enhancing the lume indices and pip.

That is very similar to what Tudor are putting on their Black Bays gents. Nice.
