Interesting orange accents. Have you seen the Omega PO rubber strap with the orange stitching? Believe it comes in both 20mm and 22mm lug widths.

I have a black leather strap with orange underneath and orange stitch, that goes well with it too.

That looks a lot better than I was expecting. The vintage style of the strap with the vintage Navi works really well together.

Looks great. It wasn't that long ago that someone posted about putting rubber on a Chronomat and the consensus was "NO!" Now it is not uncommon to see that combo. One of the things I like most about Breitlings is their versatility.

I like the way it retains the same character and design, however, when I tried one it felt a little small. I'll bet the 49mm one is nice though!
