Zenith el Primero 42

Looking for straps for the 42mm. Is there a source for Genuine straps, or at least a good aftermarket maker? New Zenith guy, so I’m a bit lost, but I sure love the el Primero!

it was really hard to find 21mm width strap for zenith. it's an unnatural size, so i had to trim my hirsch strap .5 mm each side.

I'm not sure this will be a cost effective option for someone in the US but I had one custom made by Equus in the UK https://www.equusleather.co.uk/watch..._store=default

It is an alligator strap made to the exact same size as the original Zenith. It is more comfortable than the original with incredible workmanship. If not Equus, a custom made alligator strap in the US may be an option........or of course you could go for an OEM strap through a Zenith AD.

Great choice of watch by the way

Barton Elite Silicone (as well as their other) straps are available in 21mm, if looking for a decent budget solution rather than OEM.
