Elefant... CITES approved of course!!

Key Points from the Discussion

The new elephant leather strap, with its strong color, is noted for matching the watch's dial effectively.
The strap was sourced from Atelier do Bracelet Parisien, a vendor known for awesome straps despite having a poor website.
Kaufmann straps from Germany are also recommended as a high-quality alternative, though their website is also noted as being subpar.
A direct question was posed regarding the specific color of the strap.
