Hello, I believe I see the Freda straps with colored stitching that you are referring to. They look nice. However, I like the racing type strap (with ventilation type-holes) ATG offers for my Autavia. The strap is thickly padded (which I prefer in a strap) and well constructed of a soft but durable appearing leather. The stitching is substantial as is the clasp, too. I think it will hold up well, especially with a heavy watch like the Autavia automatic. I think it's well worth the under $100 US dollar price at the current exchange rate. In fact, I also bought a red stitched version for my manual Autavia GMT. Thanks for informing me about Freda, though, they appear to have some nice products and I love the "Aviation" watch I see they offer, too. If I remember correctly, I believe that model is constructed of NOS Breitling parts from the 70's as well as newly manufactured movements. Anyone else here know anything about that?
