Hi Guys,

I just bought my first Breitling which is a SS Chronomat Evolution with a blue dial. I love this watch!
I am looking for some leather band recommendation that will go well with the blue dial. Any suggestions? If you can post pictures of your blue dial watch with leather band, that would be great!

Also, what websites can I buy these aftermarket straps/bands? Thanks

How does a black leather strap go with the blue dial? I was always told never to match blue with black.

I've seen brown with blue, never black though. But I'm sure it would look fine. I guess it's what you prefer but if it was me I would go brown

Black is ideal with a blue dial. That combo is much more common that blue dial/brown strap. Go to Breitling.com and configure a current Chronomat 01 with all the available strap options. As soon as each new option loads, trust your initial reaction. BTW, that Evo is a nice enought watch that it deserves croco shoes. ;)

Not the same watch, but blue with black.

Can't decide....I think I'm going to get both colors. Was thinking of the Hirsch Liberty. Any recommendation?
