No pictures as I don't have a yellow dial watch, but from what I've seen, black is the only sensible option. Black croco, black calf, Diver Pro, Diver Pro II, black Ocean Racer - all look great.

Any other colour strap just looks odd with the yellow. You might just about be able to get away with blue rubber or maybe dark brown croco/calf (at a serious push), but anything else is a complete no-no IMO.

I was just looking on BUSA's site where you can build your own watch and Yeah I agree with you!
Yellow dials do not work real well with any other colour but Black.
As you say Blue or Tan may work but Green was WAY Out there!!
Can the Deployant clasp from the Ocean racer also be used with a leather strap or is it a different clasp for leather?
cheers

No, the OR deployant cannot be used with any OEM Breitling leather straps.

How about black with a yellow contrast stitch?

This is a Maratac Composite.....................



Or just on a lovely Pro II.........................

I think anything would look good in yellow except for brown leather. To me, the best would be blue on the ocean racer or diver pro.

I think blue rubber looks good.

I've tried the blue OR. I have the same TI Yellow SW. IMHO the blue is such a contrast that the focus becomes the strap and not the watch. A black strap with yellow stitching is probably the best contrast, while the black OR & DP definitely show off the Yellow dial. The Pro II is also awesome and makes the yellow dial not as "bright".

Short answer, black strap with yellow stitching, black strap, or Pro II. Pick the order because they are all great combos.

That yellow stitching looks brilliant. I'd go with that for sure.

I'd have to agree with rebel_1. that black with yellow stiching is quite nice.

The strap shown in the picture was originally notched down from a 24mm but I believe they now do them in 20mm, 22mm and 24mm with various stitch colours, the red stitch is great with Blacksteels and the orange with Superoceans or Emergencys with the Coral dial.

They are very comfortable to wear too.

The yellow stitching on the strap complement's the dial very suttley.
The old reliable Pro2 is defenetly a must have and as you say, it does tone down the Yellow dials.
Yellow is hard to match with other colours
What do you think of the Blue shark skin or stingray straps?
They look very trendy.

Shark can look quite good. Breitling used to use a lot of shark straps a few years ago, but they stopped making them in recent years.

Stingray on the other hand......... err, no. Not on a Breitling in a million years IMO. They are way too dressy and personally I find them to be more than a little effeminate. Great on some ladies watches, but not a gents Breitling.

Nothing wrong with a bit of watch 'cross dressing'....

i dulled the stainless down to get it to look more like the ti as dont think they do an ocean racer deployment in titanium (well 99% they just dont do it) as its titanium your limited on the straps that suit this another one i use is the pro diver in blue.
but each to there own matey i bought this as a change up as my sa black always has ss bracelet on and white batons never loses the red ocean racer.
all the best
