Due to the white gold dial....

.....  I would say it still looks best with a black strap.

In any case, an amazing watch from Lange!

Black, Brown or Blue (Navy)?

Which strap do you think looks best on a WG (black dial) Zeitwerk? ...  

Black strap.

I've tried this already. The black strap and the grey strap look best on the black zeitwerk. You're welcome!

Black for sure. Navy could be passable. Brown's a no-go IMHO.

Another option would be Lange's gray-blue strap that comes with the platinum Datograph -- sort of a charcoal color with slightly lighter stitching. A dark gray strap would look good.

Thanks for all the feedback

I agree the brown strap doesn’t match this dial. I will try it with a dark grey/ grey-blue strap one day. NATO could be interesting but it isn’t my preference. Thanks and stay safe!

For reference, here's what I did with a white metal ZW...

I'm sharing this because it turned out to be one of my favorite strap/watch combinations. I took a chance on this strap because I had never seen this finish (which I think is typically used on women's straps) in person and I usually don't like such thick ...  

When in doubt GO Black !

I think Black suits the best in this timepiece.

I would definitely go with black but not necessarily Croko

A more casual strap with a white stitch might give the Zeitwerk a more "sporty" look

I would go with black and wear my ZW mostly with a black strap as well...

you might also want to try a charcoal dark grey as I think that combo also works well with the ZW

I would say grey...

Not a fan of blue and black combo to be frank. Full black is a bit sad. I usually don't like brown. So with this type of watch I like grey or burdundy strap! Fx

Black

Plus it has the deployant clasp which I think adds to the elegant look.

I think you need to be a little more bold.

How about something a little lighter? I had a grey strap and some others on my Datograph. I tried to link the previous posts but it hasn’t worked so just do a search and you’ll see some posts from last year. These black dials and PT cases can allow for lo... 

Got to go black [nt]

Strap

Black all the way

I’d look into good quality bespoke straps

It’s a stunning watch and I think a coloured strap with contrast stitching possibly to pull out the dial details and make it pop! You can always have the black as the ‘safe option’ for those occasions 😀

Due to the white gold dial....

A brown can look great with the black dial

 
 By: Geo : June 23rd, 2020-08:53
But maybe not a dark brown alligator. I have been dubbing quite some time, what colour would look good and also thought about grey. Finally decided for this lighter brown. Black on black is never wrong, but also a bit boring. GEO ...  

Holy smokes - that's gorgeous...!

Whats the strap, if I may ask

personally i think BLACK fits this version of Zeitwerk well.

 
 By: mahesh : June 23rd, 2020-11:28
I recollect seeing a 'whitish-grey' strap once & it went well too. Best, mahesh.,

Thank you and I should have mentioned that...

I did look at CF and seems the only pearlized they now offer is green. Pardon me not noting that before . I also would prefer a more medium gray, not so dark, and CF doesn't seem to offer a medium gray. I wore the WG Zeit last night and I gotta say, I rea... 

Yes, the first photo is misleadingly light. It's darker.

This is the same strap on a different (yellow gold) watch but taken in less sunlight. ...
