Size (lug/buckle):

From Artem, a company headquartered in Adelaide, comes the Classic sailcloth-style watch strap - a must-have for watch enthusiasts. Shown here in black with matching black 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.

FAQ

Q: Do you sell bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.

Q: Can you suggest a strap that looks amazing with my watch?
A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.

Q: I have an Apple watch. Will any of your straps work for me?
A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.

Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.

Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.

Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.

Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes! Visit our Shipping & Returns page for more information.

Q: May I return my purchase?
A: Holben's Fine Watch Bands accepts returns of unworn, undamaged merchandise for refund or exchange within thirty days of purchase. Learn more on our Shipping & Returns page.

Need help with sizing?
  • Inspect the underside of your current watch strap for width indicators.

New Version

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.

Perfect strap and great service

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.

GREAT BANDS AND SERVICE

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.

LOVE ARTEM BANDS

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.

GREAT BANDS

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.
