I seem to like the caramel one for the '68 and black croco for the '65.
I'm still searching for one for mine, and most probably will go with a slightly padded cordovan or caramel oil tanned one.
By the way, has anybody seen the "vintage leather" one that will come with the MC Navy Seals? May be we are lucky and it matches the Polaris.
Saludos,
Tony

Straps and Polaris
By: amanico : February 16th, 2009-05:21
I was not totallly happy with the original straps coming with the Tribute to the Polaris, so I became to work ( I should say ..To play ) on the best possible straps for these Re Editions. The Re Edition of the Polaris 65 and 68 comes with the same strap, ...

My Psy is Croatian.. The beige on the 68 is a killer, indeed. The problem with the 65 is that this watch needs a black strap. Calf, Crocodile, ...??? I wil certainly to think again and again to find the perfect match. I think that a Blcak Calf without sti...

I wouldn't wear the original strap during my watersoprts activities... Would change it for a Tropic strap, or a waterproof leather strap. Best, Nicolas

Original Polaris Strap without holes..
By: thesixties : February 16th, 2009-10:48
Great pictures and report amanico! I'll prefer for the 65 model the Kroko Strap or the original Polaris strap without holes as i've had seen it at the 65 Tribute de Polaris Prototype. Regards, Herb
These are the ones I finally chose, Matrix

Before finding the perfect combo... I'm happy with all of them. But these 2 are, for the moment, my favourite. Best, my friend, and thanks for your nice words, as always. Nicolas
Yes, Both

Beige for the '68, and Black Croc for the '65. Best, Nicolas

Did you consider Ostrich? It is one of the things that springs to mind when I think 1960s dressy. I don't know if it would be a bit too much, just a thought I had A

Hi Nicolas, Many thanks for your strap's test. I'm receiving my Polaris '68 next week, and I'm also considering to change the original strap...so, could you please tell if the straps that you tested are JLC OEM or Aftermarkets? And where did you find it? ...

Another option

You could get one of the darker cognac or black/dark gray straps, but get the stitching to match the indices on the watch. that way you can create contrast and connection with the dial and the indices.

Who says boys don't know how to accessorize? LOL! Just teasing, Nicolas! My preference would be for the caramel calf on the '68 and the black croc on the '65. The brown/orange tones of the caramel leather add some additional warmth to the '68 by enhancing...
Nice array of straps!
By: AlexSunrise : February 19th, 2009-10:31
Nico, The black croc pairs beautifully with the '65 Pola! And for the '68, may I suggest the light brown caramel or the brown olive, which accentuate the Polaris' vintage appeal. But, I must say, that in the end, any strap on this stunning pair is bound t...
