I gave my son an Emergency mission for his college graduation and he wears it every day. He wanted something else but as they say; "Father Knows Best". Now he LOVES it.
Obviously the polished band is getting scratched up a bit.
I know it can be polished out which is why I chose it over the Ti version.
However I do think a 'BREI ITLING' (2 piece) dive type rubber strap would solve the scratch issue, be more comfortable, and look killer.
Would the diver pro fit ?

Do you think this would look good ?

22/20 will fit, but be aware that the strap (Diver Pro) has been discontinued so may not be that easy to find one.

Is there a better option in your opinion ?

I do like the BREITLING spelled out.

That's personal choice - no 'right' or 'wrong'

Here's my Mission on the strap in question.......

I normally wear it on a Pro II bracelet but it also feels great on the Diver Pro and Croco for that matter too.

I have a Diver Pro on my Emergency Mission and yes it is very comfortable. Well, as comfortable as that heavy of a watch can be. I have the stainless bracelet, Diver Pro and black calf skin for it. Truth be told the Diver Pro is by far my favorite. The aesthetic of the Diver Pro is incredible on any Breitling, but especially on the Mission. It is true that acquiring one will not be cheap these days, but totally worth it.
