What lug size did you choose for this 21mm or 20 or 22? It does look like a great fit.

I have tried a few options (bought my green AT on factory bracelet):
- Watch Gecko "Butterfly Beads of Rice Premium Watch Strap": https://www.watchgecko.com/beads-of-rice-butterfly-stainless-steel-watch-strap
together with curved end pieces ordered separately: https://www.watchgecko.com/curved-end-pieces-for-beads-of-rice-for-20-and-22mm
and even though the endlinks are generic they fit the case of AT so well that I had an impression the were made specifically for this watch 馃槈, have a look at this short video of mine:


- I have also tried mesh bracelet from Watch Gecko (actually I bought it for my SMP300, tried just to see how it looks):


- but I am mostly wearing it on tailor made crocodile strap:


Tried also OEM brown alligator, but it did not work for me.

Don't understand your question. Watch has a fixed lug width of 20mm so you can't make any choice.

I should clarify as I have the Aqua Terra Chrono GMT watch which says that it has 21mm between lugs. I see on the gecko website they actually have the 21mm lug width option is why I asked.

Zealande's 20mm is advertised for the 41.5mm previous generation Aqua Terra. Are the straps compatible with the current generation 41mm AT as well?

Just wanted to follow up on this question -- Zealande's offerings for the AT all seem to be geared to the previous generation (39/41.5). Has anyone been able to fit one of these straps to the newer ATs at 38.5/41mm?

I love when that happens. People answer with their old gen AT photos and just skip the obvious.

No, they are not perfectly compatible. Alexandre was nice enough to send me a video demonstration of it.
I can say though, that it is definitely wearable if you don't mind a bit of leeway. When dragging the ends, it shows about 0.8-1mm of gap.

If you鈥檙e looking for a good nato option, I absolutely love Nick Mankey bands. They are a little stretchy so are extremely comfortable. The closure hook design is unique, recommend watching the install video on YouTube to ensure you鈥檙e putting it on correctly. One of the best parts is the band doesn鈥檛 go under the back of the watch like traditional natos, keeping your watch flush with your wrist as normal.
