Choosing the Right Strap

• Rubber/FKM — sweat, sea, sand. Modern FKM resists UV and chlorine for years.
• Leather — formal wear and dry climates. Avoid water.
• NATO/Zulu — robust, washable, swappable. The least dressy of the three.
• Steel bracelet — most versatile, heaviest. Best for daily-wear divers and chronographs.

Two straps cover 90% of wear: a brown leather and a black/grey NATO. Add rubber for summer.
