Some straps for my CB mostly.  

The tan colour strap was the first one I bought. If you all recall this was basically the only colour choice early on.  There was some others but those seemed to be in very short supply. 

For several years I wore the CB on that tan colour.  I don’t think I’ve mounted it in any watch in seven or eight years though.

I agree. I have yet to see a strap that doesn't look sharp on the CB.

The case material is a big factor in that I think.

Tantalum just has a special hue.
