Photo session with a new "carta da zucchero" strap

My Oris Carl Brashear L.E. has a new strap and I wanted to take some pictures. I've chosen a strap from the Italian manufacturer Morellato: it's made of anallergic nautical leather, water resistant guaranteed. Now, it's mandatory to try it swimming at the sea, and I'll let you know...

In Italy, we have a specific name for its turquoise hue: "carta da zucchero" (sugar paper). I don't know the origin of this very nice name.

The white stiching probably ins't perfect, but I don't know if it's easy to change it. In this case, I'd probably go for a golden one.

Of course, the strap has the right size for the buckle too, since I can't imagine to wear my Oris without its original bronze one.

Ciao,

Elio

Very nice!
