Rubber B Structure Series™

Rubber B, “The Ultimate Rubber Strap”, the first and only creator of rubber straps engineered for blocked integration to Rolex and Panerai watches, has opened the proverbial door, with a sweeping new array of products, which will finally provide access to their previously exclusive and product lines.

“RUBBER B CONTINUES TO RAISE THE BAR WITH THEIR

SWISS MADE LUXURY INNOVATIONS…”

Over the years, Rubber B has received consistent requests from non- Rolex watch enthusiasts looking to accommodate their own particular watch model with a luxury Rubber B strap. Due to the costly and time consuming nature of Swiss production, providing micro-integrated solutions for every request was a virtual impossibility. The educated luxury watch community has been inclined to find a solution in which they can enjoy the clear advantages that the Rubber B brand represents, as evidenced in numerous blogs and independent positive reviews throughout the public arena.

The Rubber B creative board decided in 2013 that it was time for another worthy creation: Development began immediately and production details about the upcoming “Ultimate Rubber Strap” were kept private until its completion… Here are some details about the all- new and very exciting universal product line, which Rubber B will be announcing in the coming weeks:

The Structure Series™ by Rubber B is a universal strap, which is compatible with most watches based on their lug spacing. Available sizes will be listed on www.RubberB.com.

The Structure Series™ brings together two very different elements, usually considered opposites: rubber and leather.

Although they are both very desirable and necessary to each individual’s particular needs, these two materials rarely share the spotlight together on a host watch, as a classic, balanced execution has not previously existed with non- integrated straps. Hublot was the pioneer of this balance. Rubber B and Hublot share the same factory in Switzerland, and so creating a universal product with the same quality levels and attention to detail was a natural outcome.

In theory, rubber straps are viewed as sporty, casual, and unsuitable to classic watches. On the

contrary, leather watchbands are considered the classic staple, however they are known to have a short lifespan, as they are environmentally vulnerable.

Enter Rubber B – The Ultimate Rubber Strap for Everyone:

Engineered with the most discerning client in mind, the new Structure Series™ brings all

desired aspects together in three parts:

BASE – a vulcanized rubber strap which is resistant to invasive daily elements, including UV, salt water, perspiration and movement. This supple rubber Base curves effortlessly around the wearer’s wrist, and is hypoallergenic for all skin types. At the time of product launch, the Base will be offered in Jet Black and Red Devil.

SURFACE – Genuine Alligator, Full Grain Leather, and other skin options are cut with a perfect edge. Each animal hide pair is hand-selected for esthetic balance and continuity. Various color and hide options are available.

STITCH – Stitching is hand-knotted internally within the rubber Base with perfect accuracy, for a knot-free surface advantage.

BUCKLE – Each Rubber B Structure Series™ comes with a 316L stainless steel tang buckle in its respective size. However, this series is also compatible with most other brand buckles and deployant clasps. In most cases, the client may choose to use the buckle that came originally with their watch.

From the materials used, to the esthetic finishes, much time is spent engineering every single detail of a Rubber B Structure Series™ strap:

The rubber base is hand finished in Switzerland for zero defects. Each hide pair is hand-selected and matched for continuity.

The stitching is knotted internally in order to ensure an invisible, comfortable finish. Rubber B’s patented Vulcanized rubber is soft, flexible and smooth to the touch.

The Base shape includes flowing curves, both on the surface and underneath (against the skin). The rubber shape is not bulky or unbalanced.

Rubber B’s factory also produces vulcanized rubber straps for other luxury brands such as Hublot, Audemars Piguet, and Omega to name a few.

Each Rubber B integrated product must pass three separate inspection phases before the point of purchase, and Structure Series products must pass an additional fourth inspection.

Objectives:

– Provide a universal, superior rubber strap for luxury watches.
– Ensure a product that is esthetically balanced for classic watches, without sacrificing the
– comfort and endurance of a Rubber B strap.
– Satisfy a market and environmental need, by supplying leather straps that last longer than their predecessors:

Leather watchbands are extremely costly, develop odors, and experience deformation from perspiration. They crack and crease due the deteriorating nature of humid cardboard filler pads… A Rubber B Structure Series™ contains no filler pad: the leather

surface fits crease-free and smoothly fused to the shapely rubber base for the entire life of the strap. The wearer lo longer worries about the temperature rising, causing them to sweat, and ruin their leather watchband. At the end of an active day, the Rubber B Structure Series rubber base can simply be wiped clean with a damp cloth, avoiding any damage to the fine leather surface.

Rubber B is now accessible to watch owners other than Rolex and Panerai. They do not disappoint, with these new additions, as supreme materials and attention to detail come together.

“It’s just a watch strap – what is there to engineer?”

Rubber B is focused solely on creating products, which are perfectly calibrated in every aspect. The Structure Series™ development process took over a year of considerations, calibrations and sample rejections, before finally arriving at the perfection it is today. The exact materials, thickness, shape, and curves were a tedious affair using various new technologies. And finally, ensuring impeccable leather grains, cutting, sewing and finish techniques which would enhance the elegant Base. The Rubber B Structure Series™ has been engineered to afford the strap owner with the finest level of design, longevity and contentment. Rubber B understands that there are no expendable details in the journey between arbitrary and extraordinary. As technology moves forward, Rubber B will be on the forefront of innovation, and producing their products as leaders in the industry.

Rubber B cares significantly about the customer experience beyond their point of purchase. Due to this relationship, clients notoriously develop an endearing affection for their Rubber B straps. Their satisfaction is commonly demonstrated on various independent blogs, social media and forums online. Rubber B is also known for excellent worldwide customer service and same day shipping.
