Sharp Eyed PuristS will notice a colorful new Ochs Moonphase
that is on my wrist, now that I have dropped out of the One-Wrist-One-Watch contest. I found it recently at my local watch emporium, and couldn't resist.
A year or so ago a collection of canvas overshirts from a company called KAVU fell into my hands.
I'm liking the color palette more and more, and I think I am appreciating the casual look of the watch with the shirts

The choice of colors was eccentric, but also appealing. Not what I would have chosen from the almost unlimited palette at Ochs & Junior, but compelling anyway.
But I am thinking what other choices I might have for customization before even thinking about changing dial or hands (which unlike at other brands, they are happy to help with).
The first owner got a set of straps but only one came to me:
but my Settemania Junior provided another choice
So I started to mix and match the straps

Purchased by a pal who owned a silk-screening and apparel business, he had more than 20 color variants in the same style and size (mine).
So if I carefully pick through the shirts - or even grab one at random - do they work with the watch?
It's not Silberstein-wacky, but funky in another way
I guess I have a black strap choice too, if I "borrow" the MIH strap

What do you think?

I like.
The watch(es) goes with everything; and the minimalism of it just adds to the playfulness-and funkiness. On top of that, it's an Oechslin which means it is an incredible watch. Happy for you.
If I had seen that first...
it would be on my wrist! Absolutely stunning and love the colour combo.

Ah... now is there not space for 2 watches :)
It would make me lose sleep if had to chose one or the other

A relatively colourful Ochs & Junior
You are lucky indeed - finding pre-loved Ochs & Junior pieces here is almost impossible. Like the playful side, the colour combination and your strap experiments
Now wondering if more straps will join in your experiment...

I love it!
Great watch--versatile and colorful choices too. I'm also a fan of Kavu and have one of those canvas shirts too. The green strap is my favorite you show, but that's just my bias--my MIH is wearing a green leather strap on my wrist right now and I find green to be every bit as versatile (given my usual wardrobe) as brown and black.
Very cool watch!

Awesome community!
So happy to see this awesome watch find a good home. I loved it dearly, but didn't give her the attention she deserved once I received the ochs and junior perpetual. The color combo is more interchangeable than I thought it would be and you.will get a lot of compliments from non watch people. I loved it on a dark brown strap as a nice option with the light blue dial. All the best and ejoy!!!
Thanks! So I guess I ought to put in a Sturgeon strap order ...
That was another thought in the back of my mind.

Leather...
Always a good idea to have a spare sturgeon strap...
You should ask Beat if he has orange leather strap ( send him a photo of your watch ) - can't remember offhand, as there were so many different colours available... but it would give you leather and the 'tuck under' buckle rather than the rubber strap.

Could a Yellow strap work?
I found this silicone diver strap in my unused strap drawer, and fitted it for a brief "proof of concept & color"
