Which strap pairs best with the Alexandre Meerson Altitude Officer 101OBJW?

How do you change the strap on a watch with 20mm lug width?

Use a dedicated spring bar tool to apply pressure on the internal clasp of the lugs. Remove the strap from one lug side whilst applying gentle resistance. Insert the new strap by aligning the 20mm width correctly between the lugs and ensure the clasp clicks firmly into position.

How long does a leather strap last on a daily-wear wristwatch?
