Fernando explores an alternative for summer wear with his Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute to 1931, opting for a mesh bracelet to combat soggy leather straps. This post showcases his personal styling choice and invites community feedback on how this vintage-inspired bracelet pairs with the iconic rectangular watch.

and to enjoy the great outdoors, I’m wearing mesh! What do you think?

No more soggy straps, which I cannot bear.

It has a nice vintage look and is a comfortable alternative IMO.

Someone in the family prefers the leather though and reckons this bracelet

somewhat cheapens the watch. Well, you can’t please everyone but luckily it’s quickly reversible.

There’s no way I’m going to wait for cooler days before I wear the 1931 Tribute.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers

Fernando

The mesh bracelet's tubular parts are well-integrated with the rectangular case design of the Reverso, making them less obtrusive than on some other watch styles.
While the mesh bracelet is a comfortable alternative, the original OEM strap for the Reverso Tribute to 1931 features a special plastic end bit designed to conform perfectly to the lugs.
Some community members prefer the traditional leather straps for the Reverso, believing the mesh bracelet might 'cheapen' the watch's appearance.
The mesh bracelet offers a practical solution for wearing the Reverso year-round, especially in hot weather, avoiding the discomfort of sweaty leather.
The mesh bracelet provides a suitable vintage look for the Reverso, and the combination is considered 'cool' by some, preserving the original strap for cooler days.
