Would you consider or wear the SOH on mesh a dress watch?

Would you wear it under a suit for a formal occasions, eg: weddings, social functions etc?

Of course! It is a perfect dress watch on the Ocean Classic.

Me thinks that as well!

It can be both dressy (Ocean classic) or sporty (Ocean racer strap)!

Well my personal thought is that a leather, or better croc, strap is the most appropriate dress style of this watch. Just my opinion tho.

I'm awaiting arrival of my SOH 46 and the first thing I will purchase for it is a black crocco strap for some black tie weddings I will be attending.

You can't go wrong either way with this watch. Can be dressed up with mesh or sporty with the croc which can be worn with a suit or casual. It's one of my favorite Lings.

Like Serge I'm more of the mind that most Lings look "dressier" on steel than leather - croco or calf. I suppose it's just that Breitling straps are made to be sporty, especially with the heavy contrast stitching.

Be sure to post some pics of the SOH on black Croc!

Thanks for posting the pics!! I reckon it looks classy either on Croc or Mesh!! AWESOME!!

I am kind of forced into the situation because my other three watches (Plo Prof, Graham Swordfish, Graham Chronofighter) are way off being dress watches. However, I think the SO Heritage on the mesh looks awesome when I'm wearing a shirt, etc. It's such a classy looking watch, in my opinion, with great attention to detail.

altho i do wear mine on mesh with the suit i wouldnt call it a dressy watch but it works altho most cuffs cant get over it.

i personally think croco is much more dressy than metal

If you're wearing a croc watch strap, should you be wearing croc shoes and belt too?

Especially on the mesh - yes.

That's certainly what I'm trying to convince myself (& Mrs Swiftnick) so that I can hunt one down on the grounds that my current batch aren't "dressy" enough!

That is a hell of an expensive outfit if so. I personally try to limit myself to one, and maybe two, skin pieces at a a time.

That being said I don't think a watch and belt in crocco is too much. Throw the shoes though and you are going to risk loking ridiculous.

IMHO, a croco strap is much classier, especially with the SO

Another vote for a black croco to make it look as dressy as possible.
