I've not tried one myself (yet), but have you looked at YellowDog straps for rubber natos? Does nato/zulu styles as well as tropic, rally and standard natos. Customisable too as each one's made individually I believe.

I recently treated myself to a Doxa rubber strap, got around to fitting this aft. and having a play around.
Black rubber on 600t
IWC style rubber on my Oris.
Both look spot on to me, Doxa rubber is very chunky though.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8c61ee3fa4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...29eaee7ab0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...57f1f3b5ea.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c5276749f9.jpg
Love that Oris! ^
Took a while to arrive, but the new Erika's is a winning combination!

After a few years(!) searching - I finally found the GS rubber dive strap of legend.
Made mostly of unobtainium, plus some silicon rubber, with the same brushed and polished Ti clasp as the watch case

That's a really handsome watch. And for about £80, I might have to try one...
You're not kidding. I was thinking the handset was particulalrly nicely executed - better than a LOT of much more expensive mainstream brands, but TBF the whole things stands-up to scrutiny. Very reminiscent of the recent Rolex vs. San Martin vid.
FWIW, that strap looks great on it, too :encouragement:
Wonder how many 'Perfect Straps' for this watch I've posted ITT...?
Anyway...
New in today, a sage green, FKM-rubber, curved-end strap which is marketed for one of the variants of the MoonSwatch, which it transpires is a perfect fit for the Damasko, and in my favourite shade of green. £17 on Thiefbay. It's very nicely made, not too thick and pretty supple - without that clammy flabbiness of silicone. It's supplied with a nicely sculpted machined buckle (which I've swapped for a Damasko-branded example), as well as a set of springbars and a strap-changing tool. 20mm lug only.

Rally on my Manometro.
I could never bond with the beige strap that came with it.
Happier now.

I had a bracelet (unused) in the box from when I purchased a Monaco but had to send it back because it had ongoing issues which their 'horlogical expert' said was repaired.. and wasn't.
I just twigged that it's the same lug width as my new piece... so on it goes.
I'd prefer curved lug ends... but am wondering how it looks? It was in cloudy plastic and I didn't realise it was shiny in parts too.

Very nice watch but, IMO, that bracelet isn't right for it. I think leather will be hard to beat. Try a Hirsch Heavy Calf to avoid the OEM 'tax'.
Or this from Watchgecko for a more aged appearance:

A Zulu diver flat vent in dark grey with the original gold buckle works quite well I think.
Enjoying this silicone cheapie (£6.34) on my Sinn U1 at the mo -

For silicone it's pretty good - not a huge dust-magnet, and acceptable colour-density.
The little metal securing stud instead of the usual restraining loop is a nice touch.
Came with black buckle which I swapped for a nicer quality Watch Steward one from an unused NATO.
Slightly irked that the small holes were not actually open to allow ventilation, but being a stubborn sod, I opened out every single one! All 224 of them... #getalife
Looks great Earl, wouldn't be too shabby reversed either, top effort on the ventilation

Cheaper too, and no doubt all of these can be found even cheaper on Ali Express for those that don't mind dealing with the wretches...
This is my Sinn 556a on a green nato. I’m not generally a fan of nato straps but I think it really suits this watch and I’m doing a lot of trekking this year, culminating in the Three Peaks, decided this would be the watch that would accompany me and stuck it on a nato, it’s really grown on me. Definitely a great outdoor watch, so robust and legible.

Ha, mine's on this -

Managed to find an open ended strap to fit my Longines. Most are too thick at the part which folds around the bar. This is a Condor strap which I had to modify by removing the backing between the glued sections. It only comes with a gold buckle so I tried several chrome ones and I’m really loving this double buckle which does away with the keepers on the strap.

Got this on this until tomorrow when my spare Milanese/Mesh links arrive with the postie...

I think it matches well.
Sometimes a previously untested combo turns out to be perfect….
