FAQ

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

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.

Quality strap, inferior hardware

While there is absolutely no denying the fabric material of this strap is quite excellent and of superior quality but the hardware is not. The pin part of the buckle is made of a folded thin piece of metal that is too short. Short enough where if the strap is pulled on hard enough, it can disengage and end up behind the buckle as pictured. At this price point I'd expect a milled pin of sufficient length to prevent this particular failure point. The metal keepers also seem a bit cheapish imo for the price as well, and are very easily scratched after a few days of wear. A very nice strap that would benefit greatly from better Hardware. It gets three Stars based only on the quality of the strap material alone. Better hardware and it would be five stars all day long

Excellent quality strap, would prefer hardware options

This is undoubtedly one of the highest quality NATO style straps I have ever worn. The weave isn't too tight or stiff like one might see in similar straps at a lower price point. I also really like the floating keeper in the middle. That said, I do think the price is a bit excessive and wish there were an option for brushed hardware instead of polished. No regrets, though. It's a wonderful, stylish, and comfortable strap overall, and I'm happy with it.

Great strap

Strap feels good, looks great and is very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Built to last.

Near indistinguishable from Omega natos and totally worth the price. Other 'luxary seatbelt' natos tend have dubious holes or fraying sides that need heat treatment every other week. These straps are built to last. They're are on the thicker side and may be problematic on watches with tight springbar to case distance (i.e. seiko flightmaster).

As Close to OEM Omega NATO Strap as I Have Found

I just got the strap today (it only took two days to arrive, talk about great shipping!) and I am impressed with the quality, comfort, and craftsmanship. I have owned a few Omega OEM NATO straps over the years, and I love them, but the price they charge is tough to swallow. This Artem strap offers nearly the same level of comfort and workmanship as the Omega, for roughly a third of the cost. I didn’t know what to expect with this strap, but it is heads and shoulders better than those cheap NATOs I have been using recently. I am impressed with this strap, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an Omega-style NATO for much less. It is worth every penny. And Holben’s kicks butt. They ship very fast and their customer service is amazing.
