1.a black alligator leather in Daytona folding buckle style

2.a Nato belt made by black shell cordovan from da luca

A black strap would look nice on your GMT. Either one of your preferences should work.

Nice watch too and welcome to the forum !!!

I'd suggest a simple, elegant strap in shell cordovan. Tough water-resistant leather that ages beautifully, and compliments the go-anywhere/do-anything nature of this classic GMT. This leather is dressy enough to work with suits, yet cool enough to be casual too.

Welcome to the Forum -
Either strap - black - will look sharp!

The black looks great. I think I might go that route when I finish my 1675 project.
