I haven’t had this long and will start by saying, I love the bracelet. It really adds an extra wow factor to the watch and will probably always be my favorite way to wear the watch. Even though I say that, I still can’t seem to just leave a watch alone. I haven’t seen many posts showing different options for this watch, so I thought I would share my strap journey as it’s travelled. If you have an Autavia maybe this will give you some inspiration.

So far, I have already purchased an inexpensive alligator strap, had a strap made by Veblenist and have a corfam style strap on the way.

I think the corfam is going to be the way to go for this beauty.

I wear mine on a black leather strap almost everyday. I find the bracelet a little to shiny and the original strap a little short.
The black strap fits the original buckle wich is nice.

Of the two above I think it looks best on alligator by the way
It’s funny how chronographs and alligator straps go together so well. Almost like peanut butter and jelly.

Trying to decide on a 3rd option for mine......... it came with the "Beads of Rice" which i found to blingy and shiny..... bought the brown camel.... i like it however the colour is a little to light for me (and it limits what i can wear with it 😁) need find a happy median...... thinking maybe something like this https://combat-straps.com/canvas-ww2-dollar165 from Combat Straps

Looks great on those black straps @thingziliketoo & @Opa! 👍
I've long been a strap guy, but lately seem to be gravitating more towards bracelets and that Autavia bracelet is a work of art!

Just curious, what is the lug size of the H02 Autavia?

I switched back to the OEM strap on my Dato, as I wore it to a wedding and wanted to dress it up again. I'm really enjoying the look and haven't taken it off since.

Thanks. Had a feeling it was one of the odd number sizes. It's harder to find "off the shelf" straps in 21mm, compared to 22mm or 20mm.

Wonder why third party strap manufacturers have such difficulties producing things in 19 amd 21 mm.

18 - 20 - 22 have been fairly standard over the years. Lately many companies have been releasing the odd size lugs. As time goes I think we will have more options. Especially since the big R has gone to 21 and 19mm (sub and ex1) Delugs and Veblenist are a couple of companies I have bought from and been able to not only get odd size but also customize my strap for little or no extra charge.

In a pinch you can usually fit a 20mm strap in 19mm lugs, even easier on 22 to 21. But if you have ocd best to get the exact
