Hi folks,
I need some brown strap ideas for my Fortis. Preferably a sort of pilot theme but open to ideas. I've looked at Di Modell Ikarus in tan and Dark Brown, and some no name pilot straps. I love the Fortis strap but I'm not a fan of black.
The watch:
The straps:
Any other ideas? Thanks

Have you looked at bespoke? Stevostraps will give you just about any colour combination - http://www.steveostraps.com/
For a different fleiger look try the .357 Magnum - http://www.steveostraps.com/top-end-stuff (scroll down a bit)

Re: Ideas for brown strap on Fortis Flieger
Two suggestions;
A CWL C8 pilot strap in Brown. The leather has a texture to it and the studs are substantial.
A Para strap from Steveo as shown on my C8
Hope this helps.

Here's a pic of a CWL black aviator to show the texture to the strap (you'll have to imagine it in brown).
