I bought the bracelet from the same AD I bought the watch from, Owen Robinson in Leeds. It was a few years ago now and cost me £434, strange amount I know. They first told me one wasn’t available until I sent them pictures from the internet of a watch like mine on a bracelet. They then contacted Zenith direct for me to find the correct one. It’s good quality but has no micro adjust, just a couple of half links which help get a good fit

When I bought the watch it came on a black alligator strap and I got a second brown one thrown in as well. These rubber backed Zenith straps were £250 without the buckle at the time. If you do swap the deployant over you can do it by just taking the screw out of one side and wiggling the strap. Getting the screw back is where the fun starts.
