B&R bands. I like how the stitching plays off the tritium dial.

My 60th Anniversary Speedy on a brown Nomos Shell Cordovan.. The selection of 19mm straps isn't as big.

I am certainly in the minority on this one; I know speedmasters are considered "strap monsters". I feel brown straps on modern speedmasters just don't work. The dial is faded black and everything else is bright white. I feel cool greys and light blue straps go well. Olive is ok too. On vintage speedmasters with tritium markers and/or tropical dials, brown straps look fantastic.

3594.50 looks great on brown leather.

Not a popular model, but find one with non-corroded hands and its a dressy speedmaster with strap versatility from the silver bezel and grey-ish dial.

You most certainly are..... 😀
Oh I agree! My past and present Speedies certainly love a brown strap! No complaints from a Triple Date, FOIS, 1861 and 3572!
