Nice array of straps!
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 to look nice.
Abrazo desde Monterrey,

Straps and Polaris
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, ...
I like the caramel strap the best...
gives it that PAM look (but from a superior company IMO). -Dean
What to say you
are "crazy" my friend you opened whole new chapter of after sales industry just with this post "THE Strapaneria for JLC Polaris editions" The Beige with 68 and black calf with 65 are my favorites moreover beige + 68=killing combo All the best
I know, Damian, but I have a good excuse
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...
searching the perfect match...
hi nicolas, ah, congratulations for this most interesting subject. that's the true question, isn'it, wich type of strap could match better with these beauties? sorry but I'm not realy concerned by '68. first, because the produced colour for indexes isn't ...
Hi, Olivier,
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
thnks nicolas
as far as you're concerned, would you prefer waterproof leather or tropic strap in rubber? could I buy one with guillaume in lyon, a JLC one? thanks so much for your advice. best O
I would less worry with a Tropic, Olivier
Ask Guillaume to find one for you... And say hello to him from me. Best. Nicolas

the black croc and the dark brown on the 65 gives me a good idea for ze Legend diver ... a military could be nice too i think ... (on the polarisses and the diver) .... Thanks for the hints Nicolas !! Filip
Black crock on the 1965 without any doubt...
Black crock on the 1965 without any doubt... I'd like to see the oostrich combo also...
Original Polaris Strap without holes..
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
Beige and black croc. are my favs. Nice choices Nicolas!
Wear them in great health my friend. B well, Matrix.
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
For the '65
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
Nice Straps
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? ...
very nice
Very nice band collection Nicolas For me, the caramel and beige are the coolest
The Caramel is the first one I put on the '68, and
It gives it a very nice Vintage look, indeed. The Beige is even more psectacular, as it perfectly matches with the indexes. Both are very nice! Best. Nicolas
Nicolas, if I had one...
...it would be the '68 and I would try a nice close mesh to give it perhaps a feeling of history! N
You´re like a...
children who loves playing with her toys... LOL. Entertained post, thanks my friend. You´re true... your Polaris play a lot with the straps... a Panerai game, but a Polaris game too. What about a Black Cordovan strap with or without stitching??? I love my...
What about a Zulu or NATO strap?
Here are a couple of pictures of mine on a Zulu. The band is new. They look better once they have been broken-in a little....
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.
so many options ...
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 ...
Very fun post!
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...
My preference is for the plain black calfskin, Nicolas . . .
. . . this is a watch that I find more appealing dressed down than up . . . cordially, Art
For me, the black croco without any doubt !
I must confess I was not convinced by any of these combos except the croco... Thanks for the pics ! Fr.Xavier

Beige & Brown Khaki for the 68 Black Croc & Brown Khaki for the 65 I would also bet a Black Calf with a dark grey stitch similiar to the Mare 008 original strap stitch would look great as well. I knew it wouldnt be long before we got into this...LOL... I ...
Strap
Brown Olive for 68 is bang on! Black Crock for 65. Is there any good internet retailer that ships world wide that have a verly large Strap wharehouse, where you could find Tropic in rubber, your Brown Olive, a few different NATOs and other possibilities. ...
