Really lovely, is it solid or gold cap?
I think black or brown is a personal style choice. I usually go for black but something like a very dark brown textured goatskin could be really nice, eg

(But without the contrast stitches.)
Black Bough have some OEM gold plated Longines buckles by the way: https://www.blackbough.co.uk/product/longines-wristwatch-strap-buckles/

I wouldn't go tan.
Black or dark brown. Maybe a slighty reddish brown alligator depending on your skin tone.

A lot of those used to come on Black lizard skin but Epsom Calfskin has a similar texture but softer,less shiny and slightly more modern looking. something like this should look nice

Picked up my late father's 70s Longines Ultra-Chron from the Watch Service Centre in Clerkenwell yesterday. It was in a bit of state and not working having spent 20 odd years in a drawer. Now fully operational and looking much better after a clean and a full service.
Need to get a new strap with a gold buckle now but can't decide on black or brown/tan?
