Well i need some advice guys, which aftermarket strap should i consider buying for my SOH46 blue non chrono? I have the classic ocean mesh bracelet on it but feel that a blue strap will looks better. Benignly provide me some advice please.

Does it have to be aftermarket? I personally always like the blue OEM Breitling croco. It can really lift a watch into another league IMO.

Alternatively, for a real retro tool look, go for a blue Isofrane. Very much in keeping with the SOH IMO.

Don't think i will consider isoframe, maybe croco is a good choice. I am thinking of shark but can't find a good one.

Isofrane would not be ideal for the SOH, the mid 50s SO ref. 1004 (the H of the current SOH) came on mesh originally - then came the Tropic straps in the early 60s, Isofrane was introduced in the late 60s only.

+1 on the blue croc

Here are a couple of photos of mine on the calfskin strap. I changed to the mesh and have not looked back, but it does look good on a strap as well.

Should i get a blue shark strap from kainheritage?

I understand that the strap is for panerai watches but i have fat boy spring bar so no issue with regard to this. My worry is that i don't know if this strap will fit well, it is 4mm thick, i tried 4.5mm calf strap for the purpose of testing and it looks too awkward and i had to squeeze it in. So i don't know if the shark one is suitable, however thinner.

:lol: I should've known not to "talk vintage" here! :wink:

I was thinking more in terms of both being vintage-styled divers rather than 100% historically compatible in terms of era.... but point taken. I still think they'd look good together, but Mr CivilLawyer has discounted it anyway, so it's a bit of a moot point.

Bob makes a nice alternative to OEM. Search on eBay "Bob strap". Shark also available.

Another vote for ISOfrane. Would look great on this watch.

Bob shark strap is not of good quality, ISOfrane makes the watch looks cheap,etc. I might be going for kain heritage blue shark or the aforementioned croc strap. Maybe ISOfrane is more suitable for sports which i have no intent to wear it whilst working out.
