Speedmaster leather strap, black or brown?

I want to put a nice alligator leather strap on my 3570.50. I always thought black was the only way to go to match the black face. But lately I've seen a bunch of google images with brown straps and they look nice also.

What do you prefer?

I like a black, dark brown, or a reddish deep honey color if we're talking straps for Speedies.....the other leathers that's too light a brown has too vintage of a vibe for me.

Both. A dark brown with white stitching and a solid black or great choices. Omega makes both.

Yes, I think this may be the way to go.

Both! There are lots of posts around. I personally tend to wear mine on brown leather more.

I picked up a tan leather omega strap for mine. It looks good, but I wish I would have gone with a darker color

Nice. Brown for sure. Was one of the reasons I was drawn to my FOIS. It is a little lighter than that but it works great.
