Advice appreciated - is a white-dial Montbrillant Olympus better suited to a black or brown leather strap (non-croco)?

Sorry man, got to go croco. Cost 3-4x as much as calf but look 7-8x better. A calf strap will let that watch down. A croco will compliment it nicely. I only wear my white Datora on croco straps (black and blue) and bracelet.

I would recommend black. Not because of that watch in particular. I just dislike earth tones. Plus, you open a can of worms with brown straps. With a brown strap, do you have to wear a brown belt? Shoes? Forget about it.

Black croco... or blue croco. No brown. No calf.

Yep. Because of the black SLR/tachymetre ring providing such contrast inside the outer SLR ring/bezel plus the night background moon phase disc providing such terrific class and style on the MB OLY, black croco is the only choice IMHO. Below is my white face Cossie with black subs to help illustrate. :)
Cheers,
Ron
