Looks good Christian.
I agree it can be hard to pair, if you are trying to be a close match with the blue. I find it works very well if you go for a strong contrast (orange, green/camo or the turquoise I recently picked up).
The below is my usual alternative to the blue/navy strap originally mounted on the watch. The first picture is probably closest in terms of true colour but even this is not showing the real colour. It’s an OEM strap, but I cannot recall the name of the colour, maybe “Grey” something or other.
Testing this new costum strap for my Chronometre Bleu
A lighter blue than the standard and with a tanning with contrast. Otherwise made to the exact F.P. Journe specifications. Jean Rousseau, Paris. The issue I have had with the standard strap is that as it gets older and sweaty, it will look almost black. I...
That is a sophisticated and very beautiful piece!
Always nice to play with different straps. Feels like a new watch than! Enjoy! Best Tempus
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Yes, getting a new strap is the next best remedy when we have a craving for more watches. The. CB is difficult to pair, since the blue is so distinct. I feel this turned out ok and is still something different than the original blue.
Thank you Mahesh
Jean Rousseau Paris has the specific drawings for the standard strap so they can do it exactly or with variation to the standard.
Great choice Christian....
The strap looks perfect and mirrors the subtle shade difference in the sub dial. Enjoy 🥂
Thanks Christian...
This looks like the perfect watch for you as it fits your wrist very well. Have a great weekend.
I feel that it is..
Being 39 mm and quite flat, it is exactly as I like it. I appreciate your kindness, Capt. A great weekend to you also

Grey works really well. I have one as well.
And Also plays well with the Tantalum. I have an old cognac brown custom strap from Camille Fournet that I like. The green I have to pick up next time. Thank you, my friend 😊👍
It is a future classic.
Very simple and with lots of horological quality under the styling.
Looks amazing Christian
Glad to know JR has the exact specs for FPJ. Does it come with the quick release curved spring bars ? It’s only until very recently that I’ve discovered that straps with the curved spring bars look nicer straps with the normal straight springbars.
Thank you 😊
Yes they come with the quick release spring bars. When I mentioned that I wanted it to the exact specifications (except the length and leather) the lady pulled out a CAD drawing from FPJ with exact measurements and specs.
I promise I will report back down the line.
Otherwise don’t hesitate to ask about it. 😊👍
thank you so much for your kind words, Luca :-)
I have had various experiences with JR, but I think this time it went really well. I think tomorrow I will take some more pictures of it to keep, so I can see how it develops. best, Christian BTW i love the light blue strap in your profile pic!
Thank you so much
I agree - not lighter than this. However, I suspect it will get darker with time.
