I’ve had straps from Steveo and Martu,both well made and imho worth the outlay.
Here we have my Zenith big date pilot. Love the size, matt dial, el primero movement, understated brushed case .....
I’d like a different look for it though and think a strap like the rubber JLC put on the Polaris would look good. Nearest I can find is Hirsch Accent. But they don’t do that in the 21mm lug size (tapers to 18mm) that the Zenith measures
Any suggestions gratefully received & A couple of pics attached

I have the same watch and had the same dilemma. I love the watch but the strap colour is a little underwhelming. I tried a nato for a while but now on a smoke grey Hirsch Duke. It's 20 not 21 but one on the wrist it looks fine.
thanks Pete & for posting the photo .....I just want to give it a more sporty feel which I think would suit it. I like rubber and sailcloth straps. I think Zenith do a silicone at about £220 (gulp) ..... shame Hirsch don't do that rubber in 21mm, but maybe I will order the 20mm and see how it fits (thank you for the idea)
I'd say get in contact with Jean Rousseau in London - they will make you whatever you want in whatever material to the same quality as the zenith straps, but a bit cheaper.

update - took me a while but now have the watch on a 21mm Hirsch Tiger perforated leather with rubber back. really enjoying the different look to the brown stock strap
