Hi there,
being the very happy and proud owner of a BC4 chrono, I usually wear my beauty with a steel band.





Last spring, after reading some advices on this forum, I decided to get her a leather band. Like the steel one, it's very comfortable and you can feel it's a quality band.



But the summer is pretty hot here in Switzerland... and the BC4 is quite a massive and heavy watch on steel - I avoid leather in the summer because of the sweat.
So I decided to try something new: to put this aviation watch on... rubber. The purists won't appreciate, but I think it looks good and it's extremely comfortable.



The only problem was my authorized dealer couldn't find a fitting Oris rubber band... I had to buy a band from another brand. But still an aviation brand! happy.gif



Now I am ready for the barbecue! biggrin.gif

Quite a compliment to Breitling, IMHO, putting their strap on BC4 that is... biggrin.gif

That rubber strap looks great, Oris now have a rubber strap that can fit the 22mm inter-horn width with Oris branding.

Thanks to you all for your compliments!
It's funny how a strap can change a watch... I really feel like having a new watch on the wrist! rolleyes.gif

And thanks for the advice Smithy, my authorized dealer didn't obviously know Oris produced 22mm broad rubber bands now... I'll definetely get one of these in a couple of months. happy.gif
