That watch will look good on just about anything! I’m a big fan of camel colored straps, whether CW or another brand. It’s the “little black dress” of watch straps, if you ask me, and a must for anyone’s strap collection. A CW vintage oak in camel would look quite nice, I imagine. For me personally, I feel the white dial reads a bit more formal than the black, so I think an embossed leather strap would look good, too.

^^^ I’m slightly going to disagree with you there, Andrew, because I don’t think in all honesty that the camel strap would go well with that. With that watch, for me, the strap has to be black.

Personally, I'd go for the black/red Hybrid to contrast with the dial lettering

And that’s exactly why there are so many different straps on offer out there - we all have different tastes. I picked up a really nice, black embossed leather CW strap in a sale a few years ago and discovered that however nice a black strap might look, I just don’t like a black strap. I fully admit black looks great with a lot of watches, but at the end of the day, black just doesn’t do it for me.

Now camel? That’s the bee’s knees to me, and I think it looks great on just about anything!

And to the OP, these kinds of opposing view points are exactly what will help you suss out what you might want to get.

The white dials are quite dressy divers, and in this case black is best IMV.

I would stick with a padded black leather, with either black or white stitching.

My first thought was a rubber strap with red accents too

Lovely version of the Trident, congratulations. From the CW strap collection, I'd go for either the black hybrid (waterproof) or the black canvas with white stitching.

Hirsch Grande Duke, either all black or black with red stitching.

Waterproof to 300m, croc grain.

Dressy but with a hint of casual.

Cheers Andrew.

Being on my phone earlier, I didn't have easy access to post a link.

Thinking that the OP may well be in UK, I get my Hirsch straps from WatchObsession.

Here's the Black with Red stitching Grand Duke and, to correct my earlier post, the Grand Duke is Alligator grain (not Croc).

How about a sailcloth type strap? I've enclosed a few photos, one with a blue strap with my blue 40mm C60 (please excuse the background, I just wiped up a messy spill and hadn't realized the surface was still wet before taking the photo). The only white dial watch I have is my 40mm Zelos Mako which is paired with my black sailcloth like strap in the next few pictures. Hopefully this give you an idea of how a sailcloth (black or otherwise) might look on your white dialed C60.

Black is boring, despite it can look good and go with anything.
