A new Outerknown-style strap just popped up on Ali at the following link:

Both the strap and the buckle are unbranded. I messaged the seller and he confirmed no branding. Other than the logo they look very close, but I'm not sure about quality. Size 22mm only. Normally, I'd say "Just add a rep buckle," but that's impossible. These straps are 22mm with no taper, and I've never seen a rep tang buckle in the 22mm size (and I've looked everywhere). Nevertheless, the unbranded buckle on these looks nice enough. I'll probably try one next Ali sale. If anyone has experience with these please post about its quality!

Yes, but not with the Breitling logo on them!

Awesome! Thanks for posting the ali link. I ordered the white and grey strap to try out. I want the blue just to compare against the gen but I'll see how the white one is first. The Breitling Outterknown straps are some of the best natos I've had although with limited nato experience. I think it's pretty cool these have trickled down to regular strap options. Did you order any? "yellow" looks a little like brown/olive green but can't quite tell. That could go well with the green dial Avenger you have. I'll report back in a week or two.

No yellow for me. I ordered dull and boring black

I got mine 2 days ago … been goin for the „yellow“ one … acc. to the pics looks more Green/brown than yellow .. and so is it in Reality … the material is absolutely ok .. strap looks good from the quality

Ok, so I bought the dark grey and black, the white and silver, "yellow" and blue straps and I have the gen blue and green to compare. You can see in the pictures, the gens, with OK printed on them and gen buckles have a tighter, smoother pattern. Also the keeper near the buckle is fixed with the other being the sliding or adjusting keeper vs the reps the adjusting/moving keeper is the one closer to the buckle. The gens feel thinner but looking at the pictures they might not be they just feel smoother with less deep ridges. A nice surprise was the white and silver strap glows. The others might too but I didn't check.

Like Ghost0481, I like the material. To me, with not a huge amount of nato experience, they almost feel like a cross between the thick cloth woven natos and the usual cheap (unless it has bark & jack written on it.... ) ballistic nylon natos as they don't feel like cloth but don't feel hard and scratchy like they ballistic nylon straps. They're pretty flexible and comfortable to me and I'm glad I bought them.

Some pictures.

Blue gen on right

Green gen on top

Gen stitching vs "homage". I think the rep is pretty good.

Color variances between blues and greens. The rep looks more olive to me but in this light and next to the "more green" one it looks brown. Like Ghost0481 said it's called yellow but doesn't look yellow.

Gens with markings on back. No markings present on the homage/reps

Glowing white and grey version

Forgot a picture of the buckle of rep

Lastly a more accurate picture with less phone color compensating. This is how they look more in real life and even this is brighter then my dimly lit room is. I can't tone it down enough. The gen is actually quite a dull, deep more navy blue. Even less than the rep but pics make it look way brighter.
