I recently ordered a watch for my father. He has some difficulty with his vision, so I picked a watch with large numbers & lume. He is an older guy who seems to prefer anything light and comfortable (his last one was suede). Any recommendations on what kind of strap would be suitable for a watch like this? It is 22mm.

 

... just waiting for fully wound to pop in ...

 

since is a Combat model, why not a NATO strap? oh crap! I said the forbidden word!! Let me alert my attorney...

now seriously, check these https://omegaforums.net/threads/hand-made-watch-straps-horween-and-other-leather.47629/#post-597621

 

Don't say it!

 

You know that every time you say the "N...." word, a golden retriever puppy has to drown.

 

That's not nice!

How about a cat has to drown?

 

Well, let's not step on each others capes - amongst superheroes...

Cats it is!

But leave a couple of those alive to be processed for cat-soup

 

That is a nice gesture for your father. 22mm is the standard size sold for many fossil brand watches. You could purchase a genuine leather one there for inexpensive. If you are looking to spend more, There are sellers here that make amazing straps to custom sizes on the for sale page.

I only suggested fossil because I just picked this one up on sale for $14.
