·A nylon perlon strap (c. 15 USD), a steel fixo-flex bracelet (c. 40 USD) or a simple thin leather calf bracelet in black or camel brown would do.

I've been looking acquiring a custom strap from Camille Fournet, specifically in a honey or camel brown color with ecru stitching. Their site allows you to configure your strap in a variety of materials and color options. They're expensive. But, I'm thinking a honey gator would like nice with that brownish tint of the dial.
Camille Fournet offer 19/16mm width option. I know the Speedmaster has a 19mm lug width. I'm just not sure of the buckle width is. Plus, I will probably purchase a deployant clasp since I have a fear of dropping it!
But, for know, I just want my Speedmaster on my wrist where it belongs! 🙁

Speedmaster Prosall have 20mm wide lugs. The FOIS, older Speedmaster Automatics and the 1957 Trilogy Speedmaster '57 have 19mm lugs as well. The '57 Speedmaster Coaxial also has 20mm lugs. So, it really depends on which Speedy to OP has to determine what strap would work best, not only in color matching but sizing availability since 19mm are much harder to find than 20mm.
Also a budget baseline would help, as something costing 320 GBP may cost less in other markets than a direct currency conversion.

I have the '57 Trilogy Speedmaster on order. So, I know it has 19mm lugs. I'm just not sure if the width at the buckle is 16mm. Would you happen to know? Cheers!

·The strap on my FOIS is 19mm at the lugs and 16mm at buckle. I'd expect the same dimensions for the '57 strap.

·Just looking through my old posts and found this one. I did go for the OE strap and clasp. The strap lasted a couple of years but gave way where the pin went through the clasp. I think I was wearing it too tight and had too much pressure on it. I then bought a cheap rally type strap which I think suited it but for my birthday or maybe Christmas and with a lack of inspiration and due to the fact that I already had the clasp, I got another OE strap. A few pictures of both.
I'm now looking for a OE nato strap. Any suggestions?
