Hybrid FKM rubber strap with sailcloth-embossed upper and stainless steel buckle.
Brushed RM deployant clasp · Polished RM deployant clasp · Black RM deployant clasp · Black pin buckle
A sailcloth-textured upper over a rubber base gives the Artem HydroFlex the familiar look of a textile sport strap while retaining the durability expected from FKM rubber. The subtle surface pattern suits modern dive and tool watches, and the structured build supports larger cases that benefit from a more substantial strap. The HydroFlex works naturally with brushed steel, DLC, or ceramic cases.
The HydroFlex uses a hybrid construction with an FKM rubber base bonded to a sailcloth-embossed upper. FKM rubber is known for its resistance to heat, moisture, and daily wear, making it suitable for swimming and humid conditions. The embossed surface provides the appearance of sailcloth without the water absorption associated with fabric straps.
The strap contains no animal-derived materials and is entirely vegan. Hardware includes an Artem-branded brushed stainless steel pin buckle, and quick-release spring bars allow the strap to be installed or removed without tools.

Artem HydroFlex straps are designed to be more flexible and adaptive on the wrist than traditional sailcloth straps. The rubberized core allows the strap to conform more quickly to the wrist, making it comfortable for extended wear and active use.
HydroFlex straps are offered in multiple lengths to suit different wrist sizes and fit preferences. If you prefer a cleaner fit with minimal excess strap at the tail, the shorter length is often the better choice. Regular length suits most wrists and provides additional adjustment room, particularly when worn slightly looser for comfort.

Rinse with lukewarm water and gently wipe with a soft cloth. Do not use soaps, chemicals, or cleaning agents, as they may damage the surface and accelerate wear. Allow the strap to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
