.... and since the end parts of their straps perfectly match the case's outlines, the beautiful flutes between the lugs are completely hidden. I like them visible, so an aftermarket strap with straight end is the solution.
The second strap is offered by Kaufmann, the first one is a bit special: It is made by a very old American leather manufacturer, Horween. This particular style of padding and stitching, however, was introduced by a very innovative small U.S.-based watch company named Xeric. They specialize in unorthodox designs, and for a "NASA timepiece" they offered straps replicating the unique padding or the space suits. Meanwhile, they offer these straps in all kinds of colours and sizes. They are incredibly comfortable, and I have equipped several sportive watches with them.

.... since the Type XXI suffers from the common luxury syndrome of many fine timepieces: It is considered cheap to simply lacquer the hands with white paint, so what you get are perfectly polished steel hands, sometimes even plated with a hi-gloss rhodium...
