Looks like Genuine Leather but is 100% Rubber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Genuine leather watchbands exude classic luxury. Their timeless appeal has made them a popular choice for the most discerning customers over the past century.\u00a0 No matter if it is a Black Band or a Brown leather band, these are probably the two most popular bands attached to watches today.<\/p>\n

The NEW Genuine Leather<\/h2>\n

The problem with genuine leather is that it doesn’t wear well, especially under conditions that involve swimming, sweat, and other activities.\u00a0 Leather products don’t last long and it is often required for these parts to be swapped out regularly.\u00a0 Watch owners wanted something better.\u00a0 They needed something that could repel water and sweat so that they could achieve an active lifestyle with their fine timepiece fixed to their wrist.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Watch owners also wanted something that they could upgrade their fine timepiece with, including adding various colors, styles and other features while still maintaining the “made for my timepiece” look.\u00a0 James Bond was able to get away with a band that was far too small for his Rolex Submariner, but those days are long gone.\u00a0 People deserve better.<\/p>\n

Also, people are more sensitive to the animals that leather products are made from, such as alligators and young calves.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Initially Rubber B tried to strengthen actual leather by adding a rubber back end stitched to the genuine leather front end.\u00a0\u00a0They fused leather onto vulcanized rubber to create a line of watch straps that offers the best characteristics of both materials. With the old world charm of leather and the protection of a rubber base, the Structure Series offers the wearer the ultimate in luxury innovation.\u00a0 These straps are made in Switzerland with the finest materials available to modern watchmakers, they are designed to fit any watch with lug spacing of 18mm, 20mm, or 22mm.<\/p>\n

However, Rubber B was not happy with the need to keep procuring leather products and wanted something that was truly vegan friendly and something that would last far longer than leather could.\u00a0 They worked diligently for several years to create a mechanical process that turns real vulcanized rubber into black and brown leather looking straps.\u00a0 These straps look identical to actual leather but are made from pure rubber, therefore will enjoy the long lasting and water repelling features of true rubber.\u00a0 Rubber B called this the SwimSkin line of products.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since Rubber B has developed SwimSkin, it no longer needs to source leather products and the company can become truly vegan friendly and sustainable with a product that is better than genuine leather, yet exudes the same beauty and quality that watch owners aspire to attain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is now the golden age for rubberized watchbands.\u00a0 Rubber B has developed the technique that allows machine generated textures beyond just leather products.\u00a0 Rubber B can apply the same process that it uses to generate natural leather look to generate fabric and other designs such as Kevlar.\u00a0 Rubber B has launched its Ballistic series which looks like true fabric but is 100% rubber.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rubber B has also launched a NATO strap that looks and feels like real fabric but can withstand much more work and activity.\u00a0 \u00a0It can be submerged into water and repel water, sweat and salt with ease.\u00a0 These bands are easy to clean and maintain and can look like new for far longer than real NATO straps made from fabric.\u00a0 Many of these watch bands are also made to fit the specific watch case of the finest timepieces in the world, sometimes supporting the original deployant buckle that came with it.\u00a0 Others may be outfitted with a new Tang buckle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
