I did not like the band that came on my Longines Dolce Vita. So I ordered a new brown leather band. While I am waiting on this band I decided to try one of my MN elastic strap with it . I am not sure if it works but I kind of like the look. I know that rectangular watches are usually considered dress watches, but I remembered that the whole reason the JLC Reverso was invented was as a sports watch that men could wear as they played polo. So maybe this style of case is due a renaissance of its sport roots. What do y’all think?

The Reverso was also a sports watch for the very rich polo players who could destroy anything and afford it. It could flip to avoid scratching the crystal. The Santos is more of a sports watch with its ugly industrial screws all over the face. black leather makes a tank pretty and refined. I think Longines and Oris do the best tanks.
Tag Heuer Monaco is quite square too.
I have a Reverso and it was definetly not because of it’s sport roots. It’s just stunning. I think the squared or rectangular case just make a statement. Of what I’m not shure but it’s different and beatiful. Your Dolce Vita looks great and will look even greater with your new strap.
Suits the dial nicely
I'm into it. That's a good combo.
