Best genuine leather strap for any watch brand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

RubberB is the first and only watch brand to completely design an eco friendly rubber band that looks and feels like a genuine leather strap for any watch brand.\u00a0 There are watchbands made from many different materials, like rubber, nylon, gold and stainless steel, but none offer the classic, natural aesthetic that comes with a genuine leather strap until now.<\/p>\n

At Rubber B, we aim to offer our loyal customers the best Swiss-made straps for the best luxury watches. With our\u00a0 Structure Series straps, we fused genuine alligator leather onto a vulcanized rubber base to create the most comfortable and durable leather strap on the market.\u00a0 However, we weren’t satisfied with this.<\/p>\n

Our goal has always been to make the best rubber straps on the planet.\u00a0 So, we got to work, and ended up developing a purely 100 percent rubber strap that looks and feels like real leather.\u00a0 Our goal was to achieve a truly calf or alligator hide in terms of texture, but do it with sustainable and cruelty-free rubber.<\/p>\n

Animal-Friendly Genuine Leather Strap for any Watch Brand<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The production of classic leather straps harms exotic animals like alligators and other young animals that have supple hides.\u00a0 The practice is cruel and inhumane.\u00a0 As an incredible and animal friendly alternative, Rubber B has created the SwimSkin\u00ae Alligator strap which allows customers to maintain the same classic leather look and feel but the production of these straps doesn\u2019t involve the use of animals or their byproducts.<\/p>\n

Rubber B straps are made 100% of vulcanized rubber, allowing to give more color options to consumers and maintaining their production animal friendly.\u00a0 This is another reason that pure animal hides are not as good as Rubber B rubber watch straps.\u00a0 Infusing color into the mixture of rubber is a better and more pure process.\u00a0 For example, trying to make an actual alligator hide red through and through is nearly impossible.\u00a0 However, with pure vulcanized rubber you have pure red mixture through the whole process.<\/p>\n

Why is this important?\u00a0 Well, even if you get a scratch on a Rubber B watchband, the coloring process is throughout the entire watchband and process.\u00a0 Rubber B does not use any coatings on top of any strap.\u00a0 If the strap is red, blue, white or green, it is that color throughout the vulcanization process.\u00a0 Therefore, a small scratch to the rubber, would reveal the same color all the way through the band.\u00a0 Most often this means the band looks good and new for years and years longer than a traditional leather band could ever last.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sustainable Genuine Leather Strap for any Watch Brand<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The average length of time leather and fabric watch straps last for is 1 year. A rubber strap, specifically a Rubber B vulcanized rubber strap, lasts many more years looking new. Classic straps are disposed of more frequently, creating waste and harm to our environment, while Rubber B provides a more sustainable option in the watch strap market. So, a Rubber B owner that owns a vulcanized leather strap made from pure rubber has the potential to use the rubber band for the lifetime of the timepiece.<\/p>\n

Even if the band is used heavily and discarded, the amount of waste provided from a single Rubber B strap is potentially 10 times less than an equivalent non-rubber hide watch strap over the same period of time.\u00a0 Since Rubber B straps are extremely durable, it is also a possibility that it might even last for the lifetime of the timepiece, producing no environmental waste at all.<\/p>\n

Rubber B bands look like true alligator, giving a true vegan alternative strap everywhere you go.\u00a0 In addition to that it has an Optional 316L Stainless Steel Buckle which will surely help it work for a long time. Vegan alligator watch straps are higher quality than natural alligator which makes them more convenient to wear swimming, during athletics, hard labor, or even at the office.\u00a0 They are also more comfortable than natural animal alligator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Cruelty-Free Genuine Leather Strap for any Watch Brand<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

As mentioned, Rubber B SwimSkin\u00ae alligator straps are made of 100% vulcanized rubber, which means no animals are harmed or involved in their production. Through patented technology Rubber B has been able to create the same look, texture and soft feel as animal leather.<\/p>\n

Rubber B cares about all earth’s creatures, including alligators and the young calf’s that would have to perish in order to make a product.\u00a0 Rubber B’s alternative bands gives consumers the ability to satisfy their needs to achieve a superior look and feel with a band that is both free from the cruelty and demise of killing animals for the sole purpose of using their hides.<\/p>\n

Since Rubber B is using a synthetic product, this allows us to further experiment, something we would never consider to do when dealing with a perishable product such as real animal hide.\u00a0 This means we could test out new color combinations, stitching patterns, and other texture designs.\u00a0 Our B2 series explores hundreds of combinations<\/a> and new cutting edge designs that break the possibility barrier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
