Band recommendations please

I am currently having this watch of my Dad's serviced (by Simon Freese, thanks to the recommendations of this forum), and while I wait I thought I'd start looking for a nice band for it. It currently has a £10 jobbie from Amazon on it, but I want something that looks a little classier but also that goes with the watch authentically. It doesn't have to be Omega, but something that goes - you know what I mean? The problem is I have no idea what the original band for this watch would have been or what suits this style of watch best, so wanted any recommendations any of you might have. Anything but stingray - even looking at those make my skin crawl! 😀

Thanks in advance,
Jo

It's all personal taste. Go with what you like. TBH, that strap looks fine, but you could change it out for a black or tan or green strap, lizard/croc/alligator, Horween shell cordovan, matching or contrasting stitching, anything you want. A flat box-stitched calf or pigskin would mimic the original, but I wouldn't worry about that.
