Matching Watch Straps to Dials
Matching Watch Straps to Dials
Watches have three primary elements: the strap, case, and dial. Each one is vital to determining the aesthetic and functionality of the timepiece. However, it is the dial and strap that work together to form the watch’s overall style. When finding a watch, carefully consider how the strap and dial complement each other. Do they create a bold and dramatic color display? Does the combination evoke a sophisticated, unified aesthetic? Luckily, it’s easy to change and try out new straps. Experiment a little to find a pairing that suits your preferences and outfits best.
Popular Ways to Match a Watch Strap to the Dial
First, take note of what types of straps are available. They can be made of stainless steel, rubber, textiles, leather, and more. Watchmakers offer these straps in a boundless variety of colors, including brown, black, purple, red, and blue. When pairing your dial and strap, opt for complementary or traditional colors. Gray and blue is a classic timepiece combination, especially for more casual watches. Brown leather and white dials portray a stately sophistication, especially with a rose or yellow gold case. Black and gold exhibits a luxurious and sleek look meant to impress, so a black metal bracelet with a gold trim will serve as a strikingly fashionable accessory.
Watch Designers with Matching Timepiece Straps and Dials
Most designers provide straps with their timepieces. On occasion, they can evoke a particularly unique look. For example, the Zenith Elite collection showcases a variety of timepieces with an array of colorful, tanned alligator straps. Pastel blue straps match deep blue dials with delicate diamond touches, while a light gray charcoal strap beautifully accentuates an elegant dial with a moonphase complication. Meanwhile, Ulysse Nardin specializes in dashing blue straps contrasting with white and gold dials. They have a distinct nautical look that sets this brand apart. Other designer brands offer a plethora of creative pairing of straps and dials.
