What materials are used to make the rubber strap?Updated 7 months ago
We use FKM rubber (fluoroelastomer), a high-performance synthetic rubber for our premium watch straps. FKM rubber has many great qualities, such as:
Composition and Flexibility: FKM is a fluoroelastomer, a durable material that combines flexibility with excellent elasticity, ensuring comfort and adaptability on the wrist.
Hypoallergenic Properties: FKM rubber is hypoallergenic, meaning it’s safe for sensitive skin and avoids common allergens, making it an ideal choice for those prone to skin reactions with standard rubber materials.
Water and Sweat Resistance: One of the standout properties of FKM rubber is its high resistance to water and sweat, making it perfect for active wear or humid environments.
UV and Chemical Resistance: FKM is exceptionally resistant to UV light and chemicals, ensuring that the strap retains its color and integrity even with prolonged sun exposure or in environments where it might contact oils or cleaning agents.
Durability: Known for its toughness, FKM rubber withstands daily wear, abrasion, and temperature fluctuations, contributing to the strap's longevity.
These properties make FKM rubber a great material for watch straps, especially for sports and luxury watches designed for active use.
