Try a dark brown strap to the black dial. For me the Italian way.
Or try the configurator of www.sinn.de .
Real diving or swimming: Go for those new Tropic straps that look just like the vintage ones but use modern materials. If you google them I think you can find their website easy enough. Desk diving: Try an Italian suede strap either in grey or light brown from JPM
except maybe a hot pink or fluorescent green one )
I bought this strap form the webshop of a well known American watch blog. Love the vibe given off by the texture and color of the strap. I do realize that it could do with an additional 1 mm of width. Nevertheless, I think it works quite well as it is.
the classic tropic rubber, or sand color or olive drab canvas strap from aboen, as mentioned by thegrailwatch. the aged moss green strap like cfnissen has, is also a very nice combo. or you can try some straps from bulang & son: the taupe grey, dark grey rugged or their cosaro brown retro would be a great choice. cheers
