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.

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.

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.

As with most things you get what you pay for, and these straps are no exception, well worth the money.

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.

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.

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 👍🏻👍🏻

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…

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

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.

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.

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

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?

Thanks for exposing us to a fantastic product.

I have an Artem strap. Top quality product, definitely worth the money.

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!

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

What rubber are they using underneath I wonder

always on the look out for a good strap

need a discount code

Excellent review. Well executed in all areas.

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

Yes!

Great video! Sood

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

"Delightful stitching?" Oh, yes!

own a couple love them both!

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.

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.

I think the straps look pretty sharp, what is the watch at the end of the vid, the watch in the middle? Thanks.

Sailcloth is the new leather!!!!

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?

I like sailcoth strap, but hate the chubby filling inside the strap.

i want to try one

The Artem straps are a little bit short for 19cm writs and above.

Pretty, but mine’s falling apart after about 9 months. Bit disappointed.

Thanks for your review. Will definitely look into those straps.

Hi, The straps looks really nice. I would like to know if it is possible to order them custom made. For example made for a Girard Perregaux SeaHawk II pro?

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.

But it’s not nylon weave…it’s embossed synthetic….no?

I would definitely pay the price for these straps. I have philosophy, you get what you pay for.

Hmmm sounds a little pricey, however the quality does look very good. I have not been on the website yet but I hope they do quick release spring bars, if not I won’t be purchasing.

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

WOW very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.

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.

Would I spend that much? Not a chance.

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.

Don't buy an Artem strap. They crack after several months. .

10mn for a strap haha 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
