I love divers on leather straps 👍
I think it's case by case. For this watch, hell yes. Looks great. If it were a really big tool watch, probably look out of place.
For me and my usage, not really, I would personally ruin the leather strap.
Definitely no leather for diving.... Unless you're Desk Diving.. a very common category among all of us.
Whatever floats your boat. There are no "rules".
divers on leather can look great.
does wearing a diver on a bracelet or rubber make people think I'm about to go diving when I'm sitting in a restaurant or bar? don't think so. I think the right diver/leather combo looks great on wrist so I do it.
A dive watch with flieger case and dial?
My pick:
Dont usually don't, mainly because of water/sweat. But Zane's Handmade are pretty hardy, horse butt, and hold up to tons of abuse.
Even swimming. YMMV.
It definitely looks good, but it will not be as functional should you use the watch for swimming😄

I've got a few dive watches, and I've had them on leather, only problem is the leather goes funny and saggy, I'd keep them to NATO/steel bracelets #divewatch
Definitely go for the Leather! Many Divers never see the Sea 🌊!! Many Divers are also very Dressy .
Here’s how I wear my skx013.
