From Artem, a company headquartered in Adelaide, comes the Classic sailcloth-style watch strap - a must-have for watch enthusiasts. Shown here in green with matching stitching, the design takes inspiration from the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms strap, with a twist. Not only does it boast a sleek, tapered shape and comfortable padding, but it's also water resistant, making it suitable for any adventure. The ergonomically-crafted, pliable Classic conforms perfectly to your wrist, while sailcloth embossing on the upper lends a nautical appeal. The leather underside is coated with a layer of natural caoutchouc rubber for added durability. The included 316L stainless steel tang buckle was custom-designed by Artem with a versatile finish: brushed on the center portion; polished on the outer sections.

An Artem Classic Black Grey Stitch Sailcloth Watch Strap, fitted to an Nezumi Aviera GMT – Ref. AA3.102 wristwatch.
In my opinion, this watch strap is handsome, and was exquisitely made from very high-quality materials. I feel that the design and the proportions of the strap, are perfect.
When this strap was new, it was rather stiff in the region of the padded area and prior to it being worn, I spent some time breaking-in that area using my fingers. The strap then required a couple of days of wearing to further break-in to the point of it being comfortable.
After those couple of days, the strap is comfortable, and wears (and looks like), like premium strap that it is. I have no problems with that break-in period, and I predict that the strap will be long lasting, because of the sturdy materials that were selected.
The Nezumi Aviera has a lug-to-lug dimension of 47mm.
When this Standard Length Artem Classic is fitted to that watch, the center hole of the strap is used for my 7-1/8” wrist.
When the center hole is used, there is not an excess of strap protruding around and outward from my wrist; a feature, that I really prefer.
One of the keepers (or loops) is free-floating and sometimes it slides past the pointed tip of the buckled strap.
As that my wrist circumference is fixed and the protruding strap will not change in length, I plan to think about how to secure that keeper to the watch strap in a manner that equals the strap's high quality.
The quick release spring pins that were supplied with this strap are also high-quality, and they work great with this watch.
Because of the discounts Holben’s offers when purchasing items over certain total values, this Artem strap when bundled with others, cost me less than is usually the case. Holben’s reliability and their integrity, also makes it perfect sense to acquire such a strap from them.
This is my second Artem sailcloth strap and I absolutely love it. Not to mention I think it looks great on my Hamilton “Coop”
I was a little apprehensive due to price, but after wearing it a few times, I get it.
The quality is excellent, it’s extremely comfortable ( once broken in) and it looks great on my Bulova Lunar Pilot.
