Alternative straps/ bracelet for Ultraman

Hi guys,
I’ve been lucky enough to pick up an Ultraman. It’s my first Speedy and i chose it over a DSOTM as I’m a bit geeky over all the little touches and details they’ve added.
Anyway, so far so good. For me though the supplied NATO is a bit loud and I’m looking for either z good vintage look leather strap or a bracelet. I think a plainer look makes the dial stand out better. Can anyone help with recommendations please?
In the meantime, here’s a quick picture of it on a brown perlon strap, which is a good colour match but a bit thin.
Cheers, David

Congrats on the pick up of a great watch. It is really versatile. I had it on a thicker NATO and one piece horween strap.

Thanks.
Both of those colour combos look good and again a plain strap emphasises the dial details- I just can’t get on with NATO strap ends. Too much material!

Here's a few options..........I think you are right, less is more to bring out the best in the colours of the dial, hands and bezel. My personal favourites are the black JPM cordovan strap and the Bracelet.........I think this is one of the few occasions where a bracelet looks best on a Speedy...........just my opinion. Congrats by the way on getting the Ultraman.
