Strap Showcase: Let's take a look at how some watch straps can transform your Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date...
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date is timelessly elegant but that doesn’t necessarily mean the strap it comes on can stand the test of time. Bracelets naturally begin to show wear and tear over time and those of us buying Rolex’s secondhand may even find the timepiece isn’t sold to us complete with strap to begin with.

It’s important then to be able to find a high-quality strap that compliments the vintage aesthetic of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date without overwhelming its light, clean and universally versatile dial colours.
To save you the trouble of combing the internet for straps worthy of wear with the Oyster Perpetual Date, we’ve compiled a few of our favourites, all of which are available for purchase at WatchGecko.
Watch Straps for Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date

In keeping with the vintage aesthetic we’ve already spoken of, our first strap of choice for the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date is a WatchGecko staple, the Original Vintage Highley. The light brown leather is a subtle match for the glossy, cream dial which allows it to stand out just enough to draw attention.
Thickly padded (6mm thick at the lug end), handmade and fitted with quick-release spring bars, there’s good reason for this strap being a WatchGecko customer favourite. Allowing you to maintain the class and sophistication the timepiece already oozes, the Original Vintage Highley is an obvious pairing for the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual models, as the name suggests, are crafted using Oystersteel, an alloy which is known to be corrosion resistant. The models are also able to endure water exposure up to a depth of 100m, making them the perfect choice for watch enthusiasts keen to take the plunge. Our popular quick-release sailcloth straps are lightweight, flexible and waterproof for a life on the waves, or simply on the go.

With a watch as versatile as the Rolex Osyter Perpetual Date, it really is the wearers prerogative that determines whether it blends in or stands out. If you’d prefer the latter, we’re more than happy to help you inject a little charm. Inspired by watches worn in the James Bond movies and made for durability, strength and long service life, our Vintage Bond straps are not only timelessly stylish but able to withstand a great deal of wear.
