Why FKM rubber?
Like leather, FKM rubber creates an attractive, soft comfortable strap that will take the shape of your wrist over time. Unlike leather however, rubber straps will not be effected by water or sweat so are an elegant alternative for the super active, that can be worn without fear of damage in the pool, on the court , in the sea or on the field. Further more, a super strong rubber strap is hypoallergenic, easy to keep clean and will repel UV rays.

The Perfect Strap For Your Watch
To find the perfect strap for your watch, there are a few things you will need to know: the lug width, the length, the buckle and whether you need curved spring bars or not. It may seem a little complicated but don't worry, this guide will explain everything.
Lug Width:
The lug width is the distance between the two bars which hold the strap in place, as shown in the picture below. The easiest way to check the lug width would be to Google the brand and reference/model number of your watch followed by "lug width". If you have an older watch or are struggling to find the lug width online, you could use a standard ruler to measure by hand. Please Note: the measurement must be exact in millimetres.
Strap Length:
All our straps are standard sizes however we do have a few smaller and larger straps available with more collections due in the near future. In order to work out the perfect size for your wrist, you must measure the circumference of your wrist and the distance between the top and bottom lugs of your watch (please see picture below). Once you have these figures, you can subtract the distance between the lugs from the circumference of your wrist to give you the length needed. Within the items description there should a figure labeled "Total Usable Length", as long as the length needed is within these two figures, the strap should fit you perfectly.
Buckle:
We currently have five different buckle options available: silver, black, gold, rose gold and a silver butterfly clasp. All the buckles come with a brushed finish apart from the butterfly clasp which features a polished finish. All buckles are held on with spring bars so its very easy to switch to the buckle supplied with your watch if needed. Please note, all our straps are provided with a taper which can be seen in the items description.
Spring Bars:
All our straps are provided with "quick release" spring bars as standard which makes it easy to change over the strap on your watch. Most watches require straight spring bars however some hold the strap closer to the watch. Therefore the strap requires a slight curve in order to hug the circular watch case. This is a reasonably uncommon option but is more prevalent in dress watches. The easiest way to check which type of spring bars you need is to look at your current strap and see if there is a slight curve where it meets the watch. Please note: we would recommend curved spring bars for Rolex watches, as the cases can be sharp and can damage the leather.
