Swiss-Made Vulcanized Rubber Straps for Tudor Pelagos FXD
Engineered for the Fixed-Bar Architecture of the Tudor Pelagos FXD
The Tudor Pelagos FXD was designed as a purpose-built professional instrument. Originally developed in collaboration with the French Marine Nationale, the FXD departs from traditional dive-watch construction by incorporating fixed titanium strap bars machined directly into the case.
This unique architecture enhances strength and reliability during demanding maritime operations, but it also eliminates compatibility with conventional spring-bar watch straps.
Rubber B has developed a dedicated Swiss-Made vulcanized rubber strap system engineered exclusively for the Tudor Pelagos FXD platform. Designed specifically for the fixed-bar construction of the FXD, the Rubber B solution delivers exceptional security, comfort, and integration while preserving the military-inspired character of the watch.

Why the Tudor Pelagos FXD Is Different
The Pelagos FXD represents one of the most specialized tool watches produced by Tudor.
Unlike conventional dive watches that utilize removable spring bars, the FXD incorporates fixed titanium bars integrated directly into the case structure. These bars are engineered as part of the case itself, creating an exceptionally robust platform intended for military and professional diving applications.
While this construction provides increased security, it also creates a significant challenge for aftermarket strap compatibility. Standard two-piece straps cannot be installed, and most generic pass-through alternatives fail to achieve the level of fit, stability, and comfort expected from a professional-grade instrument.
The FXD requires a dedicated engineering solution.
The Rubber B Engineering Solution
Developing a Rubber B strap for the Pelagos FXD required a completely different design philosophy than traditional integrated watch straps.
Engineers in Switzerland created a proprietary attachment architecture specifically designed to interface with the fixed titanium bars of the FXD. Each strap incorporates a precision-engineered opening mechanism that allows the strap to be installed securely around the fixed bars without altering the watch in any way.
The result is a highly secure attachment system that maintains exceptional structural integrity while preserving the clean profile of the Pelagos FXD.
- No modifications are required.
- No cutting is required.
- No permanent alterations are made to the watch.
Every component has been engineered to meet the demanding standards expected of a professional maritime tool watch.
Precision Manufacturing in Switzerland
Every Rubber B strap is manufactured entirely in Switzerland using premium vulcanized rubber compounds developed specifically for luxury sport watches.
