New Strap Suggestions
A few years back I bought this Citizen as my first 'proper' watch however, I've found myself avoiding wearing it recently due to the strap being somewhat uncomfortable and not fitting well due to the large spacing between the holes. I would like to retain the military styling but I'm open to other styles (e.g. NATO) or colours.
Please leave suggestions for brands or specific models that you think would work well for it (18mm lug-width).
Thanks in advance.

2 piece Leather Zulu Diver would look sweet
Shame as this is such a good watch. Try it on a black bund for something very different.
I borrowed my wife’s Citizen and took these on the fly. Forgive the quality. Anyway, here’s all the 18mm straps I have. Just to give you an idea of what it might look like on some options.
Leather Rally
Dark Gray Suede
Various NATOs
Leather Bund 😆

All the WOE straps would work well.

Thank you, that's really helpful, I definitely feel a dark NATO will be the best way to go.

Unfortunately, I don't think they do any 18mm straps.

Ah I see. I had a decent olive green NATO in 18mm but let it go when I sold the Seiko it was for. Was going to suggest Haveston but I don't think do 18mm either.
Have you tried the coton straps from Cns? They have many colors to choose from and are very comfortable and affordable.
If not they have all other types of NATO's and some on sales are as low as 2-3 $ ribbed straps from them are also fun. They are a little bit stiff but looks amazing!
Cheers!
