I tried to find a suitable metal strap for the vintage Ricoh World Timer in my collection. I had a spare oyster strap that was the original strap of my old Mido diver but the end links weren't a good fit to the watch head. So I've been using leather straps for this watch until finally I finally had the opportunity (and the budget) to get a nice metal strap for this vintage piece.

| I chose a super engineer strap for this watch. It turned out okay and here's a wrist shot with the strap fitted to the watch. |
I am very happy with the strap as I felt that watches this big and heavy deserve metal straps more rather than leather or nato straps. But that's just me. I have other watches that I prefer to use (and regularly change) nato straps including a couple of vintage divers that I really don't use for swimming. The variety and colors of nato straps allow for a different look every time I use the watches with various straps.
