Strap recommendations?

Hi crunchers,

I'm thinking of getting a few straps for my Longines Spirit 37.

I was considering the Longines leather strap, but would appreciate some ideas ๐Ÿ’ก

Anyone know of a good two piece olive nylon strap with quick release spring bars?

Or any other ideas for some straps?

This is a beautiful pilots watch!

I would go for a brown leather strap. Thatโ€™s just me though ๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™ve bought two piece nylon straps on Aliexpress before. Not too thrilled about them. Tried them on my luxury watches, and did not get a great sense of match (if I can say that)

Definitely brown leather. Possibly distressed.

Olive with qr springbars- Artem Sailcloth.

Highly recommended, a premium strap for a premium watch. Got both styles of strap, the "loopless" is neater but a bit pricier than the conventional buckled version.

Was thinking this to try them out. If they're good, there'll be a blue one on the way as well, for my AT and the Spirit to share

I got the Prestige Edition with the quick change bracelet and extra straps - and no regrets, at all.

The Longines single pass leather is fantastic, as is the 2 pce leather - just not my preference aesthetically. The OEM straps are pricey, sure - but they're good.

WatchGecko have a heap of single pass in 19mm and they do a good 19mm 2 pce canvas strap as do Barton - you'd have to check if they do 19mm though.

Artem olive is perfect choice. I got black with grey stitch loopless recently for my Zenith and it pairs so well. Some reviewers mention they may need some time to wear in. I went for a couple of swims at a hotel pool and the fit now is great.

Look forward to seeing your wrist shots ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Iโ€™ve been wearing a DeLugs CTS rubber strap with the leaf spring deployant clasp. They have an olive green FKM rubber that might scratch your itch for a high quality and sporty strap for your watch. Itโ€™s pricey, but itโ€™s well worth it in my opinion.
