Blue might not be a traditional leather strap color, but it's more versatile than you might think — especially when it's the right shade and texture as in Analog/Shift's Atlantic Blue Saffiano strap. There are plenty of blue dial watches that would match it perfectly, but it can enliven a monochromatic design or even provide a striking complement to gold elements. The crosshatch pattern provides just the right level of interest and texture, resulting in a strap that sits comfortably between casual and dressy. Handmade in Italy by a family-run company, the 18mm, 19mm, 20mm and 22mm options all taper nicely toward the buckle, and offer a strong value.
