Where waterproof watch straps are concerned, a great deal of options are available on the market. However, none has the subtle distinction of sailcloth: a dense, nylon fabric woven to a rubber backing in the same way as leather would be. With Artem straps, we may have the most affordable way to enjoy the best quality for this style of strap.

Thanks for showing the difference between the deployants. I do plan on getting an Artem, and now that you've shown the aesthetics of the variations it will help me choose.

The Eclipse looks beautiful with that strap, I should get one for myself! Thanks!

Own three of these. They are hands down the best sailcloth straps.

@tonydefail8150 2 года назад

Great video. Thanks for making it. You inspired me to get ones these to replace a high end rubber strap on my old Kobold Endurance 2 chrono. It looks amazing and it is very comfortable. My only issue is the corners of the buckle are slightly sharp and dig into my wrist on occasion. I would buy it again just with one of the other deployments. Keep making the excellent videos. Cheers.

@stevefox8605 2 года назад

Yes, I shall be buying one when I get my Railmaster - hopefully before Xmas. I'll buy it with the Blancpain deployant clasp. Thank you, a very helpful review. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

@jameshoward9700 2 года назад

They look good. Glad to hear they come in odd 19 and 21mm sizes - a real shortcoming with Tropic.

@timmanion7459 2 года назад

I purchased a couple of Artem straps and chose an Omega deployant and Blancpain deployant respectively. When comparing them to my original Blancpain strap on my Fifty Fathoms I see little difference and am pleased that I could purchase a longer length from Artem, as my wrist size is 7.75". Alm in all , a very well made strap that I will purchase more of in the future.

The Direnzo Eclipse looks fantastic on the Artem sail cloth strap. I find myself looking down at my wrist with the same watch on it, and thinking £70 seems acceptable. The 50 Fathoms on sail cloth is just iconic and who would not want to emulate that look?

@herbmerced7780 2 года назад

I have the one with red stitching that I use with my SMP300 polar dial…looks great…I opted for deployant clasp because the watch is heavy and I don’t want it to fall accidentally…

@markbyrum4743 2 года назад

My beef with sail cloth straps (typically) is how the buckle tears the hole after just a could of insertions. These look good to solve that problem. I like the deployant clasp as well. Good vid. Keep at it!

@gregamos8793 2 года назад

I’m going to purchase one for my Peren Rogue. Nice band and water proof. It’s coming on a leather strap.

@stevecholo 2 года назад

I bought a sailcloth look-a-like from zuludiver and am happy with it. It’s 30 pounds (don’t have a UK keyboard on my phone lol). It doesn’t have as intricate stitching as these since it is a PVC print product, but I’ve found it wears nice on my Sinn 856 UTC.

@miguelbernas9489 Год назад

I got an Artem for my Seiko Flightmaster. It really elevates the watch. Also practical because the Flighty is water resistant to 200m.

@private464 2 года назад

Bradystraps is CONSIDERABLY cheaper, while still being a good quality sailcloth strap. I have 2 of them and am happy with them. Artem is probably great, but too expensive.

@karlsenula9495 2 года назад

If I am buying watches worth thousands (even $1k) one of these sailcloth straps are definitely worth it. If the watches price points are in the mid to high hundreds they are worth considering ... if the watches (ones purchase power) is in the low hundreds ($100-$300) then probably not worth the price point - you'd probably want something less expensive.

@timemeasured9137 2 года назад

Sailcloth is the new leather!!!!

@TheAlbert12397 2 года назад

Glad that they are rubber backed. My biggest concern is a stinky strap from sweat. I have seen sailcloth straps with a leather back which seems to negate the waterproof benefits. I wish all leather straps were rubber backed. I am looking to buy the Heuer 160th Anniversary Carrera re-issue and the first thing I will do is change the leather strap out for something waterproof.

My blancpain sailcloth straps cracked after wearing them sparingly over a one year period. Now on the supplied nato which is much better. Options for 23mm replacements quite limited

Recently, I received two of these straps. Quality is high in the strap parts. The buckle is a bit inelegant. Needs time to break in but they look good and should wear very well especially in my hot climate.

@JusBThankful 2 года назад

Jon! Love your macro photos and finishing write-ups on the Deutsche Uhren FB group! which buckle clasp option did you go with, and what watches will you be pairing this strap with?

@jonandresen1483 2 года назад

@@JusBThankful Thanks, glad you enjoy! I bought two straps both with plain pin buckles. The white stitching version is on my Sinn 105 st sa white dial: my wife likes the pairing so I think it works well. The black stitch version is on my Longines Avigation BigEye Petrol. Totally changes the look of that watch.

@khronokraze 2 года назад

Looks pretty good. I was always contemplating the true water resistant nature of a sailstrap, however. I guess it depends on who's making them and how. But, the one area I worry about are: 1) the holes for sizing the strap. They are perfectly sealed so no water can penetrate through the holes? 2) the mixed use of leather with the sailcloth. In my mind, it seems like the leather will negate the WR nature of the sailcloth strap.. especially with those wear the backing or inside lining of the strap is obviously leather.. the only WR may only be on the outer surface. Get the strap wet enough or submerged, seems like the leather will get ruined regardless.. Unless they are somehow water resistant treated to withstand?

@brendanjones6764 2 года назад

I was under the impression that the backing material was rubber

@khronokraze 2 года назад

@@brendanjones6764maybe this particular example. But, I think leather is in the middle. Still, with the holes for the sizing, it exposes the leather in the middle. Just curious if they actually treated or somehow sealed those holes to prevent water intrusion/absorbing. Most, I'd not all, other sailcloth strap examples I've owned and seen have leather and sailcloth only, no rubber.

@mwojciak 2 года назад

straps are cool, bought one to use it with my Blancpain Leman, but there are not as comfy as Blancpain's sailcloth from my bathyscaphe. A little too stif. PS. Their deployant is not so good, cannot recommend it.

@jerryhutchison8952 Месяц назад

sails are not made of nylon (way to stretchy), but are made of Dacron polyester (basic), kevlar, or carbon fiber.

@snapfitness1 2 года назад

Good video but as I've told other reviewers, I have to give them a thumbs down because they are long enough for larger wrists, and I wish they had that option.

@termit520 2 года назад

I don't know my friend.....in terms of a functionality any 40 USD Marathon nylon strap will outperform and outlive any sailcloth strap in the world...(in a field use).....but ok Like

@piotrszmidel 2 года назад

I think they are much overpriced,plus only black and leather lining,so better not get wet?I find better Zulu sailcloth or a hybrid from Hirsch or Morellato.
