In the late 1800\u2019s and early 1900\u2019s pocket watches were all the rage.\u00a0 However, during the South African Freedom Wars and later during World War I, soldiers took to attaching their pocket watches to their wrist with a leather strap.\u00a0 This started a trend of combining watch making with leather bands that has continued to today.<\/p>\n<p>The leather strap evolved quickly into the standard as masculine watches were developed by Rolex, Panerai, Longines, IWC and others&#8211;many of them used in military to coordinate raids and attacks.\u00a0 The military loved the strength, versatility, and natural waterproofness of leather watch bands.<\/p>\n<p>Rubber B has advanced the development of the leather band, by bonding the leather to a rubber base.\u00a0 The stitching is recessed within a trench and knotted invisibly in the rubber for maximum comfort.\u00a0 The leather surfaces are innovatively recessed, allowing them to sit flush in the shapely rubber base.\u00a0 This allows the wearer to become active in all kinds of sports, from diving and swimming, to tennis and golf.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6564\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6564\" style=\"width: 928px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sporty-Elegant-Luxury-Watch-Bands.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6564\" src=\"http:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sporty-Elegant-Luxury-Watch-Bands.jpg\" alt=\"Sporty Elegant Luxury Watch Bands\" width=\"928\" height=\"594\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sporty-Elegant-Luxury-Watch-Bands.jpg 928w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sporty-Elegant-Luxury-Watch-Bands-600x384.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sporty-Elegant-Luxury-Watch-Bands-64x41.jpg 64w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sporty-Elegant-Luxury-Watch-Bands-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sporty-Elegant-Luxury-Watch-Bands-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sporty-Elegant-Luxury-Watch-Bands-624x399.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sporty Elegant Luxury Watch Bands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Vulcanized rubber base achieves both a comfortable and strong fit. \u00a0Since there are no blends, fillers, linings or coatings used in Rubber B manufacturing, the band does not bleed coloring when the wearer gets the surface wet. The band is even water proof to ocean salt water.\u00a0 An owner of a Rolex Submariner, for example, can proudly wear his Rubber B during deep sea diving without fear of losing or hurting his investment.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there are no pores or creases in the leather or rubber band, protecting the watch band from sweat and odor.\u00a0 The watch band can be easily cleaned with water after physical activity.<\/p>\n<p>The unique design of the Rubber B Swiss Made leather band allows the wearer to achieve both a sporty feel, while achieving an elegant look with genuine alligator or full-grain leather. This is the ultimate leather strap.\u00a0 For a full description of Rubber B Swiss Made Leather Bracelets visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/rubberb.com\/en\/watch_bands_for_all_watches\">products page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leather watch bands have been used with fine time pieces for over 100 years.
