Ultraman strap advice....any suggestions?

I own one Omega only - the Speedy Tuesday Ultraman - and whilst I love the look of the watch and the story behind it, I am not finding myself turning to it to wear (to the extent that I am considering it selling it, as I have no desire to own watches that do not speak to me).

However, I think I know why: the strap. I am not a fan of NATO, so the OEM nato (whilst I love the aesthetic look of it, and I am a big fan of orange) is of no appeal to me. The OEM leather strap the watch comes with feels very basic to me and quite dull - yes there are some small orange markings but they are negligible.

If I am not to part with the watch, I am looking to find a strap or bracelet that will make the watch feel a bit more special, a little more exciting and compliment the dial with a bit more noise.

Anyone have any ideas? I could not find online any examples of the Ultraman on any other custom straps. But I know very little of Omega so hoping you guys here may be able to help?

Other guys will chime in here but, Omega has their nylon straps like the ones on the Dark Side of the Moon Speedmaster made by a company in France. You can buy directly from them and choose whatever colour you like. I just can’t recall the name of the company.
A black cordura strap with orange stitching would look good on that watch in my opinion.....

You can go to an Omega boutique and they'll pull out a plethora of straps you can see for the Speedmaster.

+2. I've always been a fan of the bracelet. I put the straps that came with it away with the set and popped it on a modern speedy bracelet from my local AD.
