Look for unlined shell cordovan leather straps. Basically just a single strip of leather only folded over and stitched at the top to go around the spring bar, they are really nice and about as thin as you can get as far as I know.

Another option might be to get curved spring bars that give a tiny bit more clearance.

Yet another option might be to just leave the metal bracelet on, LIKE GOD INTENDED
