45th Moonwatch: Nato, Leather, or Titanium ?

Recently acquired the 45th anniversary moonwatch

It originally comes with NATO strap. (pic 1) Although it looks great, I wanted to try some different looks with this beautiful watch.

So I got an Omega alligator leather strap with deployant buckle in dark brown. (pic 2 & 3) This really dressed up the watch, in a good way.

I also knew that the titanium bracelet will fit this watch as well... so I got one. Had to try it. The watch, IMO, looked amazing with it. (pic 4)

which one do u like ? and why ?

excuse the poor quality of the pics. taken in haste with my iphone

I didn't vote cause frankly I think they all have their uses and appeal! That's the best thing about a speedy it's versatile enough to dress up, down or to strap it to some fabric!!

I'm surprised, I really like them all. I voted for leather as to me looks the best, but love the NATO too for casual wear. The bracelet looks good too, but something about the monocolor dial, I like it better with the matching strap.

The ordinal nato looks the best, feels might be another story.
The leather comes in a scant second but almost tied for first place.
Not sure about the Ti.

I really like this leather strap on my 3570.50. I think it would look great on the 45th Anniversary.

My least favorite is the NATO...

The minute someone put it on the Z-33 bracelet it was a winner...later I saw it on Dark Brown Leather, and I was amazed how beautiful it looked

Leather, Leather, Leather.

I came real close to getting that watch but the Nato strap was terrible so I passed. The leather really works nice for it.

Bracelet for me! I love it! Where did you source the bracelet? Omega, otto frei, or another Ti Speedy?
