Hi all got a C60 Trident pro 600 ,40mm with a white dial, got it on a bracelet and am looking for some different straps for it , searched forum but can't find any pics of any , what's people's thoughts what would look nice with it?
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.

I love the look of that blue sailcloth I think it would go lovely with the ocean blue SC. Do you have a link or name to search for of the strap?

Hi Mike,
I think you're right, it would look great with the ocean blue SC. The strap is from Nodus based in LA here in the USA. The material is TecTuff (https://tectuff.com) and the inside is lined with "rubberized leather." Not exactly sure how you rubberize leather but I can confirm I have taken this strap swimming and it is completely waterproof. Also, it's very comfy right from the start.
The link is https://www.noduswatches.com/straps-pro ... tuff-strap for the navy blue color. In addition to blue and black, it also comes in "Platinum" which is a dark gray. I have all three colors and recommend them highly. Quick release spring bars are used as well.

Mike,
I forgot that my Nodus straps only come in 20mm. They do have a slightly different version in 22mm but the underside is actually NBR rubber. The SC will need the 22mm strap if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks everyone I know everyone has there own opinion but it's nice to throw a few ideas around as I'm recently new to watches so nice to get other people's views..
I used to own a white MK2 trident and regularly wore it on casual brown straps. I think my favourite was a Toshi strap but the 43mm MK2 GMT was a hefty beast and suited that style, the more dressy MK2 might not suit that as much.
The brown though would definitely be a thumbs up from me.

Mike, I notice you are in the UK. If you wish a UK supplier of Sailcloth straps I can recommend the Watchgecko quick release range. They are black bit with contrasting stitching https://www.watchgecko.com/sailcloth-watch-strap
I think that CWs own black leather and hybrid are superb with the white face....

Put on a grey Nato to start with ordered a few more in different colours and fabrics I’m quite happy with it for a different look..
I don’t know that you can go wrong with a grey NATO. I’m a fan. It’s a nice alternative to the standard black NATO.
I think that sailcloth looks really good. I'm not sure if I have a sail cloth strap or not. I bought a set of assorted straps from Watchgecko, and in amongst them is a quite stiff fabricky type thing. Different to a CW hybrid. Might be classed as sailcloth.
Other than that, I second AVOs idea of a Cordovan, but it's expensive to try, and of course you can't take it in water.
With a white face watch, I like to pick up whatever slight colour is also present. My Draken sits on a Barton with orange stitching to pick up the hands.
Barton Straps are stupidly comfy and well priced. Oh and theres a decent range!
