Pay Securely
Our new "Tropical Ocean" watch strap is made from FKM fluorocarbon rubber. This advanced material has a noticeably different feel when compared to inexpensive rubber watch straps which are often made using cheaper rubbers such as silicone.
Watch straps made from FKM rubber feel heavier and more robust, and as a result, your watch will also feel more premium and substantial. So this is a great strap upgrade.
Our FKM material has the following high-performance properties:
- Excellent temperature resistance and high chemical stability.
- Good weather, ageing and oxygen stability.
- Excellent resistance in mineral oils and tear-proof properties.
The "Tropical Ocean" rubber watch strap has a diamond hole pattern for fastening the buckle at any point of the watch strap, and a lattice texture pattern gives it a unique look. The watch strap includes quick-release spring bars for easy replacement.
In summary, it is a great design and good quality watch strap that will suit a wide variety of different watches. This type of rubber is also often called fluorocarbon, fluoroelastomer, Viton, FKM and FPM.
