When the history books recount what happened in the year 2020, there is no doubt that this will be noted as one of the most unusual, but also historically significant, years in all of human history. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we all live and work in a very short period of time, and it will be fascinating to see what direction the world begins to take as the global community comes together and begins to rebuild next year.
However, this year was not completely full of gloom and doom. As a leading innovator in the manufacturing of custom rubber watch straps, Rubber B was proud to introduce a wide variety of new products over the course of this year. We have decided to take a few moments and review all that we were able to accomplish this year.
What Kind of Watch Straps Has Rubber B Released in 2020?
In January, Rubber B released rubber watch straps for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore timepiece in both the 42 and 44 mm sizes. Both of these sizes are available in either the Alligator or Sailcloth styles and come in a variety of different colors. For the 42 Alligator style watch bands, the straps come in either brown, blue, white, or black. At the 44 size, all of the same colors are available, with the exception of brown. For both sizes of the Sailcloth style, the bands are available in gray, white, or black.
February saw the release of two rubber watch straps for the Tudor Black Bay 58 watch, which is the latest entry in Tudor’s legacy Black Bay product line. The first was the Rubber Cuff watch band, which is manufactured with HYDROTURF® Marine Thread and comes with a tang buckle for easy adjustment. This band is available in jet black, navy blue, or pine green.
The other is the Tang Buckle Series, which is well known for its blocked integration and signature “T” design. This allows for a flawless, motionless mount that is completely flush to the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight case. These straps are available in jet black, espresso brown, and military green.
During the month of April, Rubber B released a new series of Tang Buckle watch straps for the Rolex Datejust 41 mm timepiece. As with all of Rubber B’s custom rubber watch bands, these were made from 100% vulcanized rubber and feature no coating, blends, or bonding. These straps are available in jet black, Arctic white, navy blue, and espresso brown.
A few months later, in July, Rubber B released a SwimSkin® Alligator strap for the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 watch, which is the newest entry in Patek Philippe’s long-established Nautilus watch line. This custom rubber watch strap is available in six different colors, which include espresso brown, jet black, charcoal gray, Arctic white, navy blue, and military green. There is always a great deal of enthusiasm at Rubber B when we release a line of summer products, and this one was no exception.
The following month, Rubber B released SwimSkin® Alligator and SwimSkin® Ballistic straps for Panerai watches in the 40 and 42 mm sizes. In the Alligator style, the straps are available in either jet black or espresso alligator brown. The Ballistic style has even more options, as it is available in jet black, Sahara tan, military green, or Caribbean blue.
September ended up being one of the busiest months of the year for Rubber B, as we released two separate product lines for two very different kinds of watches. The first was the Patek Philippe Aquanaut, which comes in seven different colors. The other straps were for the 42 and 44 mm Apple Watches. Available in Rubber B’s trademark SwimSkin® Alligator and SwimSkin® Ballistic styles, these straps have been micro-calibrated to perfection and are among the first rubber watch straps available for an Apple Watch.
And as the year comes to a close, December has also managed to be a busy month for Rubber B as well. We successfully introduced seasonal color straps for a wide variety of timepieces, including the Rolex Submariner Ceramic, the Milgauss, the Air King, the Tudor 58, and the Tudor Heritage. We also introduced a transparent watch strap for the Rolex Daytona that is the first of its kind in the world, and this is something that we are deeply proud of.
