However the cordura strap really saved the whole watch I'm now immensely enjoying the overseas! Highly recommend guys to ask ur BT to get one
The Everest cordura strap looks great. I see why it works so well with the watch. I haven’t check in with the Boutique so not sure if they can order it. Can you share the model or part number if you have it?

I find that the somewhat rugged leather of the calf strap together with the contrast stitching gives the watch a somewhat “field watch” style. I like that occasionally but the two other “versions” of the watch suit me much better.

I’m considering getting an alligator strap at time point to see how much you can “dress up” the Overseas. Not sure about the color scheme yet. Brown? Blue? Grey?

Any RL pics would be appreciated.
“Field watch” is a good way to describe the style of the Calf strap. I kind of like it as it’s not fully dressing up the watch. The Alligator strap for sure makes it’s more high-end, but from the pictures I’ve seen, it’s more luxurious than dressing up. Still thinking about getting a Gator strap and on what combo works. I’m leaning toward red stitching on grey or dark blue.
