The octa is olive green (calfskin strap) and CS is what I would call a British racing green. Both straps from FPJ.

The CS looks great on that British racing green strap.

I really like the green on the calf. Did you get it through the Journe boutique of elsewhere?

But imho the olive green strap dresses it down a bit and makes it more versatile. I have only purchased straps from FPJ. This one Vasil helped me pick out when I first bought the watch.
