It is summer, so what is your favourite way to attach your watch to he wrist? ...

In most regions of the Earth, "summer" means (relative) heat, sometimes high humidity, with people spending a lot of time sporting, or simply outdoors. Of course these conditions differ between Earth's equatorial regions and its the climatically more decent regions. However, even the latter are experiencing more frequently periods with temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius, and higher than 85% humidity - with compliments from global warming.

So what does a true WIS do when the thermometer explodes, and even the dogs refuse to leave the pool? Correct, he welcomes the opportunity to change the strap of his watch.

So please show me the summer outfit of your UN!

Here are some summer specials of mine:





A nylon-fabric sailing-theme material on rubber base, made by Hirsch.



An older picture, showing the Marine Diver on a black/silver-white rubber strap, also made by Hirsch. This looked great with the silver-white dial, but was of poor quality, since the white part wore off very quickly.

Somewhere, I had a picture of my Marine Diver on an electric blue rubber strap, but unfortunately, I fail to find it right now.

Aside all experiments, however, my all-time favourite as most comfortable attachment of my all-time favourite all-day watch, is the marvelous rubber-titanium strap on the Marine Diver:
