Strap ideas for an incoming 5370P

So I've been lucky to have been allocated an incoming 5370P :)

I was looking to dress down the watch by replacing stock shiny black alligator strap.


Any ideas guys? Thanks!

Grail-warning on that watch.

Now if you fit that chrono on a NATO strap, I'll give you a standing ovation! :-)

Interesting in this, as well. Would love to know what you end up exploring, and deciding on. :)

(And more specifically, where you sourced the strap in the end.)

Thank you, and good luck!

I'm thinking of ordering from ABT in Paris. I used them for my straps on my 5170P and liked their craftsmanship better then Camille Fournet.

As for color I'm thinking matt black alligator with white stitching :)

I added 3 straps to the standard gloss black - Matt black with dark grey stitch, dark chocolate brown and a CF carbon strap with red stitch. Have some fun and congratulations.

I saw your CF/red stitch! Quite striking indeed.

I was thinking of dark chocolate brown...

Can you please share pics when you get a chance?

Thank you sir!

ABP straps will surely be a great fit, especially some custom ones, but it isn't exactly dressing it down. I think a chronograph like this could work on nicer canvas strap, at least worth trying. Or try some Molequin strap https://molequin.com/collections/all-straps

I think the brown shiny alligator contrasts well with the black to soften the look.

I’m boring but I’d go with a grey calfskin.

Yes. Apparently they are relatives of Camille Fournet owners.

ABP “hippo” blue black here on 5970g. Both ABP and CF are equally decent quality in my experience.

Very nice hippo strap. What is the color the stitching?
