My real answer to the question is, they do that because it looks better that way!
Why do watch manufacturers do this? Why would they place the lug holes of the spring bar so far from the case that there’s a space between the case and strap?
Is there a solution to fix this other than purchasing a thick strap? ...
Just thicker might not be the best solution but if you order a strap custom made, they can take that into consideration by leaving a bit more leather between the end of the strap and the pin holes of the straps
This is not exactly the same as simply getting a thicker strap but can yield the same results. My local strap maker does take the holes distance to the case into consideration for every strap I order
My solution
is to order curved end straps, and install them with the straight bars. It works a wonder on Rolex, and avoids straps being eaten by the case.
I have also wondered that
The watch itself is and looks awesome but the gap between the lugs and the case gets me paying the attention more to the gap than the dial.

Honestly, I don’t get that either…
To me, that’s an unsightly gap. I would think they would have used a curved strap spring bar pin to make it look less noticeable like on my Flyback. ...
