Green (?!) strap for my Datograph...
Aug 17, 2014,14:57 PM
I think the platinum Datograph is one of the least colorful-strap friendly pieces out there, with the cold black face combined with a strong blue antireflective coating. That said, I've been trying to find an off-the-beaten-path combination that works well and this is my latest attempt.
Not sure if this is a factory color, or just something that's been sitting on someone's window for too long and hence faded, but recently I got my hands on this nice green-grey strap that I fell in love with on the Datograph:
And one in the wild:
I initially thought the green clashed with the blue-black face, but I think the colors work really well together especially in bright daylight.

I agree, it makes it look almost vintage! :) Regarding color - I've always found it to be a hit or miss for proper delivery of colors over the web. I love using Chrome as my main web browser but it unfortunately doesn't translate the color profiles proper...
agree :)

Yeah, ... color balance is a very difficult thing to control even on one's own computer screen, then browsers, etc.. it's a mess (and this coming from somebody who worked for years in completely controlled light environments! ;) ... BUT, the important thi...

I don't think there ever was a green strap made that is OEM, it probably is an interesting color the grey strap received through aging. Never the less it would be hard to make the dato look bad, it just commands attention.

...is one of the finest and most beautiful watch i seen so far. I think i works also on a NATO strap :P but in this particular case I think it's very something, not so far from the OEM dark blue one. i love it in any sauce. best, chris

Thanks for the info, do you know when they switched to the dark grey strap with contrast stitching?
No matter what strap...

The mighty Dato still looks very handsome! I think your green strap is unique. Personally I prefer my Dato with black, charcoal grey or navy blue straps Thanks for sharing! Creative color matching and what matters most is you like it! :) Cheers Robin
Navy blue strap...

I've been meaning to get my hands on a navy blue strap as well. When I visited the Lange boutique in Tokyo I inquired about the navy blue strap but they did not have one in stock at the time... so I came back empty handed. I'm really looking forward to th...
It works great!

I'm a fan of this kind of colours which make us escape from the classic colours seen thousands times... It is a nice green and you have a eautiful combo. Fx
Thanks, I think -

Thank you, I think playing around with different straps is half the fun of the horological journey!
