Artem Classic Sailcloth Black Red Stitch Quick Release Watch Strap

I bought this black sailcloth Artem strap with white stitching to replace the original leather strap on my IWC Pilot. The rubber lining on the inside of the strap is excellent for anchoring the watch and keeps it from slipping around on my wrist. Artem makes an excellent strap and it looks like it belongs on the watch.

Package arrived swiftly after purchase and in original packaging. High quality strap and fits nicely on my watch. I dont see any signs of dent or holes deformation compared to my other straps. Bucket shape is nice and flat. New favorite.

I have bought Artem straps and clasps in the past. This new green strap is not nearly as good. The old black strap, by look and texture, could be mistaken for real sailcloth. The new green one looks and feels like lightly embossed rubber.

I was very interested in a blue Artem Sailcloth strap but was worried about sizing. Mike from Holbein’s responded to my email right away and compared the sizing with a strap I purchased before and told me what size to get and exactly how it would fit. The strap is great and really makes my watches pop.

This is my 4th Artem strap and the 3rd I bought from Mike. It's so nice to have a USA distributer now. The bands are incredible - classy, comfortable and durable. I got this black with white stitching for my Bulova Lunar Pilot and really like how it looks. The band is very versatile so I have several other watches it will work nicely with. The price on these bands is very fair as they will last so much longer than your average strap.

This is my 3rd Artem strap. I have the black/grey, olive and now the navy/white. They are high quality and very comfortable. They take very little break-in and I usually just spend about 5 minutes flexing them to soften the material up. I got the navy/white to go with my Tissot Gentleman and love how it looks. It has a little Omega Aqua terra vibe now. I'm also surprised at how many other watches the blue works with - it is very versatile.

This is my second Artem strap and I also have the Navy with white stitching arriving today. I bought the Khaki for my Ball Enterprise with the black dial and it looks amazing. It picks up the green tones of the tritium tubes nicely. I've had my original band for about 3 years now and it still looks like new. They really are a high quality band.

This is a high quality strap worth the money spent. The thickness fits the watch perfectly and yet supple enough to hug your wrist comfortably. Very satisfied with the purchase highly recommended and Holben’s service is top notch. Fast shipping and website is easy to navigate.

The black Artem sailcloth strap is excellent quality and looks quite sharp on my Speedmaster-style chronograph. The fabric and the stitching are both impeccable. The strap was a little bit stiff for the first couple days -- there's some kind of padding inside the strap that made it inflexible at first. But after wearing it for a couple of days it's molded to my wrist quite a bit better. I opted for the quick release spring bar option which is also very well made and worth the extra cost.

Strap has a great, sleek and elegant look while also maintaing its unbeatlable duraility. feels like i wont need any more 22mm straps any more, this one is good for the rest of my days as an earth-romaer. Good strap would recommend. Paired excelently with my Squale Sub39
