Find Your Perfect Fit
You'll need at least two measurements to choose an Artem strap that fits perfectly: the width (18mm, 19mm, 20mm, etc.) and the length (short, regular or long). If you plan to swap the buckle for a different buckle or deployant clasp, you'll also need the strap/buckle taper.
Strap width
On a wristwatch, lug width determines strap size. "Lug width" refers to the distance between the two projections that hold your strap in place, as shown.
Measure your lug width using a metric ruler or a caliper. The width must be in millimeters (not inches), and it must be a whole number (18mm, 19mm, 20mm, etc.). The strap size will match the lug width. If your lug width is 20mm, select a 20mm strap.
Strap length
To determine your strap length, you'll need your wrist measurement in inches.
Using a flexible tape measure or a strip of paper, wrap your wrist where your watch would naturally sit. Mark the point where the two ends meet.
If using a paper strip, use a ruler to measure it (in inches). That number is your wrist size.
Artem's HydroFlex straps are available in one length:
Note: The HydroFlex strap can fit wrists larger than 7-1/2", but you may be wearing it on the second-to-last or last hole.
Strap/buckle taper
The strap/buckle taper is important information if you're swapping out the buckle. Artem's straps taper in width toward the buckle as shown:
Your buckle width matches the width at the buckle end of the strap, not the lug end.
Example:
Artem's 20mm strap tapers to 18mm at the buckle. For this strap, you would select an 18mm deployant clasp or buckle. A 20mm clasp will be too big.

HOW OTHERS ARE PAIRING IT
Customer Reviews
I recently “went big” on a watch purchase to commemorate my late grandfather. The only prerequisite was that it had to be made in Germany, as my grandfather had a great affinity for the country. I settled on the Damasko DK32, and wanted to pair it with the best possible strap I could find. The Artem Hyderoflex is the highest quality strap I’ve ever seen. It’s flawlessly made and looks like a million bucks. Also, it’s not too long like so many of the rubber straps on the market. Yes, it’s crazy expensive, but when you spend almost 2k on a watch, it deserves the best! I definitely recommend it. Holben’s service was great. Thank you.
