Strap Guide written by @jdub_photohub. Thank you, Jonathan!
Introduction
Ming has described the 37.07 as the 'Mosaic For All', which is curious because the included leather strap options embody the one-size-fits-most ethos (emphasis on the word 'most')., Enthusiasts who sit on the IBWC (Itty Bitty Wrist Committee) may not have the wrist real estate to accommodate the factory option, and the basic colour offerings of white and maroon may also be quite limiting for some. Hence, this handy-dandy guide featuring my pick of Delugs straps!
Glossy Lagoon Blue Crocodile Signature (Curved)
At first glance, the Mosaic dial has an almost hypnotic effect, daring you to stare long enough to find a secret image like the MagicEye puzzles of the 90s. Pairing this dial design with the texture of the crocodile leather strap gives the 37.07 a unique look that is apropos for both the poolside and a night out.
Jean Grey Babele Slim (Curved)
This is probably one of my oldest straps, and has been on more watches than I can count. The Babele leather is the kind that develops an amazing patina, ageing like a fine wine. Meanwhile, the contrast stitching matches the white of the Mosaic’s chapter ring beautifully. All those good looks, and the comfort of a Slim strap? You can’t go wrong with this one.
Orange Buttero Slim (Curved)
If you’re feeling a little tired of the typical blacks, browns and blues, taking a small step out of your comfort zone might be just what the doctor ordered. Don’t be afraid to go loud with this striking, orange Buttero slim strap — this combination lights up the Mosaic as a statement piece, conversation starter, or whatever you want it to be. If I had to attach a flavour to this particular watch strap pairing, it would be Orange Ming-sicle (yum)!
Lavender Chevre Slim (Curved)
Just in time for spring or summer, the Lavender Chevre Slim transforms the 37.07 into something a little more playful (or a little less serious, at least), giving off vibes of grape-flavoured cotton candy. One of the benefits of Chevre is how supple it is, requiring little to no break-in period to feel at home on your wrist. Its pebbled texture also highlights the leather’s natural grain, contributing to a subtle but unique appearance.
Olive Green Curved Rubber CTS
As this is my first experience with Delugs’ Cut-To-Size rubber strap, I can happily say that it is easy to size and wears beautifully! There were almost endless possibilities with the various colour combinations, but I felt that the Olive Green gave me the most versatility, playing to the neutral tones of the Mosaic. I’m REALLY looking forward to mixing and matching this to my outfits throughout the rest of the year.
