To give your watch a second life, or simply for a change of style, what could be better than a new strap? One of the most important, funniest and trickiest criteria to choose is the color. Avel and Men brings color to your collection and advises you on how to choose the right colored watch strap for your needs!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch strap color guide<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

3 simple steps to choosing the right bracelet color every time!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Respect the colors of the watch<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every timepiece has its own character, which becomes more refined with age. When it comes to color, there’s plenty to choose from: the dial<\/b> is of course the most important part, but indexes<\/b>, hands<\/b> and, over the years, patina<\/b>, are all elements to consider. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your watch’s dial is brightly colored, or features colorful elements, you can choose a strap in a complementary or neutral tone<\/b> to balance the overall effect. If it’s more sober, it may be tempting to opt for a bracelet in a bolder color to add a touch of contrast<\/b> (orange bracelet and midnight blue dial, for example).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: a winning combination is to match the color of the bracelet to that of the dial and\/or bezel, and the stitching to the accent color (the one from the indexes and\/or hands for example). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Consider how the timepiece will be used<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a watch strap for everyday or professional use<\/b>, classic colors like black, brown, beige or steel are generally the ones that always work. For special occasions, such as travel<\/b> or sports<\/b>, but also to make your watch an integral part of your style<\/b>, a touch of color is welcome, as are more original materials (such as sailcloth).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Treat yourself to style!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your watch is black, but you love matching your shoes with your brown leather belt for a specific occasion (your business meetings, for example)? There’s nothing to stop you opting for a bracelet that matches your other accessories! The best watch\/bracelet color combination<\/b> is always the one that makes you want to wear it the most. Most modern bracelets can be changed in no time at all, and even without tools<\/b> when fitted with quick-release lugs<\/b> (presto or flash type lugs for example). You can therefore have both a neutral-colored watch strap and one or two more original variations for the same timekeeper! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
