路Seeing member @gee_cee 's strap on the forum, I became intrigued by its appearance.
A web search located the strap as a " 21mm MiLTAT Military Green Washed Canvas" from StrapCode and available direct and through Amazon.
I liked the fact that this strap is set-up for deployant buckle (in fact it comes with a nice brushed deployant that matches the watch),
as I have an Omega Titanium deployant that I use with the watch.
You will notice that strap also has curved lug ends that add a nice touch.
I now have my X-33 set-up with the strap and the Omega deployant and I am ver pleased with the look and feel. Very easy and fast to wear and has a nice tool/service look.

I just searched for this item and didn't see it in stock anywhere. Is it no longer available?

路I have never bought a quartz watch. The only ones that I have in my collection are my first watch (Seiko 6M25-6000) and my father's VHP Longines.
However, I cannot get latest generation of the X33 out of my head and would really like to try one as well. It seems like such an elegant, yet purposeful watch with loads of functions, most of which none of us will ever need. My problem with it is, that I feel uncertain as to the value retention. This hobby already requires a good amount of capital, but it does not need to "cost" much, if done wisely. I wish, I could trust the X33 to be as stable as any Speedmaster or vintage Seamasters, but I just don't. 馃檨

The generation 2 X-33 watches retain value. They have a peak-90s aesthetic that is going to remain in style for a long time. You can actually find a generation 1 X-33 for $1-1.5k.
The X-33 Skywalker value I cannot really comment on.

路There are rumors of a Swatch/Omega collaboration this year, I think.

路Is this rumor distinct from the recently released bioceramic MoonSwatch collection ?
I think it was the rumored MoonSwatch. I'd still pick-up the X-33 over a MoonSwatch, especially considering the gen 1 pieces often go for less.
Here is my gen 2, just for fun:
