Rubber B Media - Tap-to-Pay - RB Connected


Rubber B Connected straps blend Swiss craftsmanship with modern convenience, bringing tap-to-pay technology to the world of mechanical luxury watches. This unique strap has a sealed, battery-free NFC chip, enabling Rolex owners to make contactless payments with a simple tap of their wrist.

Made in Switzerland from supple vulcanized rubber, the strap is built to endure daily wear and water, while providing comfort and durability. 

A RUBBER B Connected strap offers seamless, modern function to an iconic watch, bridging the gap between classic elegance and the demands of a fast-paced world that’s geared for convenience.

FAQ

Does it need charging?

No. The NFC module is passive and powered by the payment terminal during tap.

Is it water-resistant?

Yes. The strap and module are designed for daily wear, including exposure to water. Avoid chemical solvents and follow care guidelines.

What if the strap is lost?

Disable the payment credential in the OneOS app (and/or Curve). The token can be revoked without replacing the underlying card.

Is it safe to use?

Your privacy, activity, and data are never shared with Rubber B or any third party. Banking institutions use encryption that protects all of your information.

Is it easy to manage? Yes! You can instantly turn the payment feature on or off inside the app, as well as view your activity, move funds between devices, customize funding, and more. 

Which cards and banks are supported?

Availability depends on region and provider policies (OneOS, Curve, and card issuers). See the setup section and provider terms.

How long does setup take?

Initial U.S. wallet funding may take up to 3 business days. After that, funding is usually immediate. For the UK/Europe, the Curve app connects your credit card to your OneOS account, where your payment device (RB Connected strap) is managed.
