Finding high quality 21mm straps that Omega doesn't offer?

Hi, I'm new to the brand, just bought my first Omega SpeedMaster Moonwatch Moonphase reference 304.33.44.52.03.001 (love it!!). Looking for advice on where to find high quality straps with the Omega clasp to fill in gaps in what Omega offers, since my lug size is 21mm and that limits selection. I'm not necessarily looking save money (although would be great if it costs less than Omega straps...), quality is more important to me.
For example, I'd love this kind of strap:
https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/...d-leather-strap-with-pin-buckle-032cuz010020w
But it only comes in 20mm size. I've only found 2 leather strap options for my watch, would love to expand selection.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Check out Delugs. They do ready stock and bespoke straps and a rally pattern is definitely and option

Bespoke is your best option with the most variety. Another popular choice is Genteel Handmade - https://www.genteel-handmade.com/

With that said, you can find more and more makers producing 21mm straps. Hirsch makes many in 21mm, Rios1931 does as well. Both are high quality and substantially cheaper than Omega or bespoke. If you want a black sailcloth, check out Artem straps. They make one in 21mm.

Jean Rousseau makes some popular straps for Omega like the Snoopy Speedy. I will always recommend them when someone is looking for a quality strap. Check out their Bespoke section for endless combos of colors and materials. Worth noting is their ability to make a strap perfectly for the Omega folding clasp. I'm sure other can as well but I found most strap makers want you to use their brand of clasp. JR offers straps made for their clasp, omega folding clasp or buckle and tang. I like bracelets but I've been wearing my JR Cordura/calf strap lately with this cold weather.

That's a pretty standard style strap that most strap makers can reproduce easily. Many of them will also make them to fit Omega clasps. If they try to steer you away from that it, means they cant do it.

Another option I've tried with excellent success is TJC Leather.

Thanks for all the responses! I've already found some potential options, now I must hold myself back, ease into it and not get too many at once 😀
