Complement Your Black Dial – Here at Rubber B, strongly believe that an essential part of being a watch collector is using your luxury timepiece to express yourself via your fashion sense. Simply put, there\u2019s no reason that watch collecting shouldn\u2019t be, and can\u2019t be, a form of creative expression \u2013 a way to tell people a little bit about who you are, and how you see the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And despite the fact that we\u2019ve expressed this sentiment several times before, we\u2019ve never really gone into detail about the fashion side of things on the blog before. Today, we\u2019re going to correct that oversight and switch gears from the technical aspects of watch collecting to the more aesthetic ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the world of horology, black dials are some of the most commonly seen in terms of color selection for the dial background. This is true with all manner of luxury timepieces, from Rolex to Panerai, so we think we\u2019ll start by helping to answer a question that a lot of watch collectors have: what\u2019s the best watch strap to choose for my timepiece with a black dial?

Where Should I Start When It Comes to Picking Out a Watch Strap to Complement a Black Dial Timepiece<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, there are two ways you can approach picking out a watch strap that really complements your black dial timepiece. For the sake of ease, we\u2019ll call them traditional and non-traditional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional route would be to draw inspiration from color theory, which has been around since the 18th<\/sup> century, and which you are somewhat familiar with, even though you may not realize it. Remember all those times you looked at a color wheel in elementary or middle school? You were studying color theory at the time \u2013 look at you, you scholar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
