Congrats! Great looking combo. Did it come on a bracelet or a different strap?

It came on a camel strap. It is not the version with president bracelet.

I thought the older models only came on a bracelet. The newer strap models have an adaptor for the strap. Interesting to learn. Great watch.

From what I've been told, you could buy it on strap or bracelet.
You can see the difference at the box, they are quite different.

Is that a 36mm 1803? Beautiful piece with day wheel in Spanish. So many great straps to buy for that watch. Enjoy it.
