I’ve never had a watch before so for my 18th birthday, my dad gave me his watch. This is a vintage Omega De Ville Prestige from the 1995 collection. It is a 36mm so it is on the smaller side and is really dressy.
The watch originally had a metal strap that was made of gold and stainless steel however I didn’t think it suited me very much so I decided to replace it with this black Omega Alligator Strap with a Gold Buckle. I really like the black alligator strap with the gold and white watch face as I think it makes it look very classy
What are your thoughts on it?
Leather is a great choice (technically-speaking, leather is the most formal of watch strap/bracelet materials and therefore is "dressier" than a metal bracelet, though over the past couple of decades the metal bracelet has become an acceptable substitute for leather). It works exceptionally well when you match your leather accessory/clothing (e.g. belt and shoes) colors with your watch strap for very formal occasions.
Also, happy birthday!
