Artem has just informed me that they maintain the same consistent material across both their classic and loopless straps. This means that even their classic straps would now have the updated shiner finish of the loopless ones as reviewed here!
I also have an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra with the standard rubber strap and deployant. I installed the Omega deployant onto the Artem blue/white loop-less, and it fits and works wonderfully. It makes the Artem look like an OEM strap. LOVE IT!
Artem Deployant Clasp appears shorter than the Omega version. I recently bought a Hamilton Clasp which is a cheaper copy of the Omega Clasp and it's a bit too large for my son's small wrist (16.5cm). However, when open, he can just get his hand through. I suspect the Artem clasp would not provide a large enough opening given it is shorter.
Really thinking about ordering an Artem. Can you let me know your wrist size for comparison? I have a small wrist and the strap length is a concern for me. Thanks! Great video!
There's nothing cheap about the strap, it's sailcloth so it may not be for everyone. It's slightly stiff when new because of the padding. It does mould to your wrist shape after about 3 days of wear.
