Brown dials, what are fun strap color options.
Adding my first brown dial watch to my collection. I favor straps over bracelets, but need help with strap color options (other than plain black and brown). Band material for any occasion, and color reccos would be really appreciated, links to samples would be clutch.

I didn't know, thought about it and said white, red, other browns, maybe green. Then I googled...

Both seem to agree
I love green crocodile leather on dark dials.

Gray or a blue suede
I’d say blue or green if you want complementing color or brown in a different hue. Brown with some yellow or red tone I think would look great.

Thanks for the links. Plenty of ideas there, the light blue and or camel got my attention.

Holy smokes, amazing options thank you
Brown is very forgiving. You just can't have the tones on the dial and strap too close. Give it some contrast.
Would we consider brown dial watches a neutral color, suppose I could search this but wanted your thoughts.
I bought this Watch as a daily wear, and judging by the comments so far, brown seems pretty neutral with pretty much everything. Blue jeans, khakis, summer beach wear…..
I'd try a camel color brown/ tan, also the newer Bond NTTD NATO, which has black, gray and tan would look awesome.
I appreciate all the feedback. Just because I had a gray Perlon strap lying around, what are your thoughts on going in a lighter shade of grey?…. for now.
