C60 Bronze Strap suggestions
C60 Bronze Strap suggestions
Hello all,
I have a C60 Bronze waiting in it's box until my birthday, and I am looking for a leather strap as the watch is currently on the blue hybrid one.
Just wanted to have your suggestions as of stye and colors.
Your brand recommendations are also welcome.
Initially i was searching for a brown tone strap, but I might also go with a blue / navy color.
As a test I photoshopped this: A blue strap with havana loops and stitching.
What do you think? Is it too "bright"?

If you can match the blue of the dial, it should look fine.

Thank you Guy,
Yes a darker blue will look good.
Would you stick with "havana" stitching and loops, or better with a white stitching and blue loops?

Re: C60 Bronze Strap suggestions
I like the idea, but I agree that the blue needs to be a closer match to the dial. As for the stitching and keepers, I'd consider going a little darker, closer the the colour that you will see as the bronze patinas.
*Edit* I'm thinking something closer to this brown leather that I have mine on currently:

I'd try and stick to Havana stitching to go with the case; go darker remembering the case will patina up.ondris wrote:Thank you Guy,

As for Mansarea, top notch find. My go to for unusual/custom straps.

Re: C60 Bronze Strap suggestions
Just sent an e-mail to Mansarea, so I can see if they can make a dark blue strap with loops and stitching a little bit darker than the ones in my first post.
Also, I havn't worn the watch yet so I don't really know what thickness I can go with the straps.
3.5 / 4mm is too thick?

I've got the CW vintage brown leather and the blue canvas for mine, it generally stays on the blue or goes onto different NATO straps as I like to chop and change.

Re: C60 Bronze Strap suggestions
So a few weeks ago I received my custom strap made by Klevlin Leather Goods, and only yesterday I put It on my C60Bronze.
So I thought I could share some pictures

Looks great!! I think the color of the threading will go nicely the indices.
