Blancpain has never made a quartz watch and never will — their commitment to mechanical watchmaking is absolute. The Villeret Ultraplate (ref. 6606-1127-MMB) is a perfect example. Its white ultra-slim dial with hours and minutes only on mille mailles steel bracelet. With a 20mm lug width, it takes aftermarket straps beautifully.

The 40mm case with its 8.55mm profile gives you just enough wrist presence to anchor different strap materials without the watch disappearing. Here are my 7 picks — and why each one works.

1. Best Overall — Glossy Lilac Crocodile Signature Strap

Glossy Lilac Crocodile Signature Strap on Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Every watch needs a go-to strap, and for the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate, this is it.

The Glossy Lilac Crocodile Signature Strap is made from genuine crocodile leather with a distinctive scale pattern that no embossed leather can replicate. The texture adds visual depth and character that works equally well with a suit or a smart-casual outfit.

Paired with the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate's light-toned dial, this strap elevates the overall look without competing for attention. The 8.55mm case thickness means a padded strap like this one feels proportional and substantial.

If this style appeals but you want a different tone:

2. Best Dressy — Taupe Saffiano Stitchless Strap

Taupe Saffiano Stitchless Strap on Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Formal occasions call for something elevated. This delivers without being flashy.

The Taupe Saffiano Stitchless Strap uses saffiano leather — that signature cross-hatch embossed pattern you see on high-end bags and accessories. It is remarkably scratch-resistant and handles moisture better than most leathers, which makes it one of the most practical premium options you can put on a watch.

The kind of strap that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.

3. Best Everyday — Colibri Chevre Slim Strap

Colibri Chevre Slim Strap on Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

The strap you reach for without thinking — that's what an everyday pick should be.

The Colibri Chevre Slim Strap is made from chevre (goatskin) leather, sourced from the Alran tannery. The natural pebbled grain is finer than Epsom and slightly shiny — it looks luxurious without trying too hard. Chevre is also impressively water and scratch resistant for a natural leather.

What makes this pairing work on the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate is the contrast — the refined case finishing against the texture creates visual interest without conflict. With a 40mm case, the proportions stay balanced.

Once you see it on the wrist, it just clicks.

4. Best Minimalist — Hunter Green Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature Strap

Hunter Green Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature Strap on Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Sometimes less is more. This strap proves it.

The Hunter Green Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature Strap uses rubberised leather — a material that blends the look and feel of leather with the water resistance and durability of rubber. The smooth finish is clean and modern, and the pastel colour options add a playful element to otherwise serious watches.

On the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate, this strap adds a layer of sophistication that plays well with the dressy aesthetic. The 40mm case at 8.55mm thick pairs naturally with the padded construction without creating any imbalance on the wrist.

Simple, effective, and genuinely enjoyable to wear.

Alternatives in the same family:

5. Best Casual — Dark Grey Ostrich Leg Signature Strap

Dark Grey Ostrich Leg Signature Strap on Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Not every strap needs to make a statement. Sometimes relaxed is the right move.

The Dark Grey Ostrich Leg Signature Strap is made from ostrich leg leather. Unlike the body leather, ostrich leg has a distinctive scale-like texture with natural ridges and patterns that give it an almost reptilian character. It is soft, supple, and needs virtually no break-in time.

The kind of strap that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.

If this style appeals but you want a different tone:

6. Best Sporty — Chestnut Buttero Slim Strap

Chestnut Buttero Slim Strap on Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

When you want your Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate to feel more relaxed and sporty, this is the pick.

The Chestnut Buttero Slim Strap features Buttero leather from the Walpier tannery in Italy. This vegetable-tanned leather develops one of the most beautiful patinas in watchmaking — scratches blend into the surface and the colour deepens over time. If you enjoy watching your strap age gracefully, this is the one.

Worth a look in other colourways:

7. The Wildcard — Denim Babele Slim Strap

Denim Babele Slim Strap on Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Think of this as the strap you didn't know you needed.

The Denim Babele Slim Strap features Buttero leather from the Walpier tannery in Italy. This vegetable-tanned leather develops one of the most beautiful patinas in watchmaking — scratches blend into the surface and the colour deepens over time. If you enjoy watching your strap age gracefully, this is the one.

The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate's 40mm case is ideally proportioned for this strap. The dress watch aesthetic is enhanced by the refined strap construction. It is the kind of pairing where both the watch and strap look better together than apart.

Once you see it on the wrist, it just clicks.

A Note on Buckle Colour

Quick but important: always match your buckle to your case. The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate's Stainless steel case calls for a silver (brushed or polished) buckle. All Delugs leather straps ship with a pin buckle and can be upgraded to a Spring Deployant Clasp for extra security and convenience. All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars pre-installed, so swapping straps takes seconds.

How to Change the Strap on Your Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate

Swapping straps on the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate is one of the easiest upgrades you can make — and with Delugs straps, you don't even need a tool.

All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars already pre-installed, so changing straps is completely tool-free. Here's how:

Prepare your workspace. Lay the watch face-down on a soft cloth or microfiber pad to protect the caseback from scratches.
Release the spring bar. Locate the small lever on the quick-release spring bar. Pull it back with your fingernail or fingertip to compress the bar.
Remove the strap. While holding the lever, angle the strap out from between the lugs. Repeat for the other side.
Insert the new strap. Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug hole. Pull the lever on the quick-release spring bar knob, guide the entire spring bar into the opposite lug hole, and then release the knob. You should hear a small click when the spring bar extends and seats into the lug hole.
Check the fit. Give the strap a gentle tug to make sure both spring bars are securely locked in. If there's any play, reseat the spring bar.

The entire process takes under a minute once you get the hang of it — no spring bar tool required. The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate uses a standard 20mm lug width, and all Delugs straps in 20mm will fit perfectly.

Can I use rubber or casual strap on a Blancpain dress watch?
