Hi all -

I recently purchased the above, and although I like the dial I am not thrilled with the strap it came with. The photo below is a stock photo--the actual strap is a lighter, more "yellowish" color that I really can't stand.

I know this is subjective, but I'd be interested in recommendations. I think some sort of deeper brown or burgundy leather strap might work, but having trouble visualizing.

TIA And if you post a picture with a recommended strap if you can provide the brand name for the strap that will make it easier for me to find online.

Thanks!

Because the dial appears to be a dark blue, i would probably do the same with the strap. Leather? Silicone? "Strapseeker" on Amazon makes a nice selection with most of their straps in the $35 - $70 range.

I think a darker brown would be nice. Try Strapsco. Leather, rubber in multiple styles and textures.

I feel your pain. I too am not a fan of butterscotch, caramel or light brown straps
Sorry- I'd post my watch pics, but I only do brown (or burgundy) leather with gold watch cases.
I pair steel bracelets and black straps with my steel watch cases.

Hey. Thanks all who have made suggestions thus far... Starting to look into some of them. Keep them coming--I feel with the right strap I will love this watch! I like the deep, dark blue (which seems to have a gradient to it depending on the light) and the power meter adds interest for me. I'm just really struggling on what the "right" strap is.

Have a great weekend all, and thanks again.

Great looking combo. Who makes that strap?

It came with the watch. Very similar straps at Strapsco.
