Artem Sailcloth Straps - New Omega Style Deployant

#artemsailcloth #loopless
This video is for the strap lovers. I enjoy this Australian based strap company. They make solid waterproof sailcloth straps in the sizes and lengths we like to see as watch enthusiasts. They are well crafted. In this video I show some of their new products. They've just released a 'loop-less' design with an Omega style deployant clasp. I also show some other deployant clasp options in the style of Blancpain and Richard Mille. Please reach out with questions. Links below-

The quality of the straps looks superb! The buckle is amazing it a compliments the strap and it adds to the beauty of the strap. 👌

[@steffydog]

Great honest review, thanks 🙏

[@angelbergthsoto5140]

I have Artem straps. I stick with the pin and buckle. I have all kids of buckles since I have a few watches. But I feel this way, you can’t beat the process of wearing and adjusting a watch that a pin and buckle gives you. Artem straps are the best sailcloth straps for me!! Even the OEM straps that brands offer (with the pin and buckle)! Great video!!

[@martinwilliams9098]

Interesting video was just what I was looking for 👍

[@morgan97475]

I will get this Omega-style strap. Thanks for this video.

[@scottwexlin6456]

Not much of a strap guy myself, but I like the clean simplicity of this.

[@dv100000]

Great video Bruce cheers👍🇬🇧

[@mislem]

Great review!!!🎉

[@benweick1356]

Great review. Glad you addressed the thickness of the Omega style on the underside. That was one of my biggest concerns. Do you find the RM style wears a lot thinner on the underside ?

[@Butik1]

Bruce, same black cordura strap with white stiching is also available from Omega. I am talking about the one that went with Snoopy 2 (white dial). You can easily get it from any Omega boutique. You can see video of such combo on my modest channel if you want.

[@calicobasin]

great review

[@roycedot]

Nice! Good to have sailcloth options. I had to go with one on Etsy for $75 with an Omega-style deployant clasp (has Omega logos). The Omega logo has sharp edges, so the quality isn’t 10/10. 19mm would be killer

[@timmanion7459]

I've been a fan of Artem since their inception. The one problem I have with them is length. They only offer a longer size in their original 20mm strap . When you want to order a 22mm , they don't offer the longer size . I have 7.75"wrist size . They need to offer the longer strap size in all their straps . There's definitely a good market for that longer size.

[@MichaelG1986]

I was going to post this exactly. I have quite a few watches their straps would look great on with 22mm lug widths. I also have a largish wrist - a little over 7.5 in wrists. I'd love for them to do more XL straps. I contacted them directly and they responded "Currently, we are only offering XL sizes in our 20mm straps. If the demand is strong, we will look to expand it to our other straps as well in the near future." Maybe a few more of us larger-wrist guys should contact them and hopefully they'll start offering them.

[@timmanion7459]

@@MichaelG1986 That's funny . I contacted them as well and they told me almost word for word the same .

[@kk7sm]

I'm a big fan of the Artem straps. The deployant is such a great option - I am a klutz and exactly what Bruce was saying, if I get clumsy with a pinbuckle... I have to send my Chronomaster in for service due to pinbuckle follies. The security of a deployant is so much better, I've never dropped such a watch on the tile floor in a bathroom. 🙂

[@BruceWilliams]

Chris I've got one for you. When we meet up this week 😎

[@kk7sm]

@@BruceWilliams You are my hero!

[@stevefox8605]

Looks like Tudor deployant clasps, too sharp a down turn for those of us with flatter wrists...love their straps tho, & could be tempted by the RM clasp. Thanks for showing us , Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dillonm4794]

Just picked up an Artem myself. Currently wearing it on my Doxa Sub 300 silverlung. It really is a fantastic strap.

[@millersciencesms762]

Ordered one on January 7. Has not been delivered yet. How many weeks did it take for your strap to arrive?

[@dillonm4794]

@@millersciencesms762 I bought it off another gentleman so I can’t answer that, sorry. Hope it arrives soon!

[@millersciencesms762]

Understood. Thank you very much.

[@twautomech5338]

@@millersciencesms762 Same here. Ordered one on January 10 and still waiting. 😁

[@DarylWOlson]

Bruce - Nice review. I see that you also have the OEM Omega deployant buckle. Do you know if the Artem loop-less strap will work with the OEM Omega clasp? I have one attached to an OEM croc strap and I'm considering this sailcloth strap, but I want to keep the Omega logo on the buckle if possible. Thanks

[@dsong401]

I have had their (Artemis) blue sailcloth strap for about 3 months, and it's still not 'broken in' - it's very stiff material. I've tried gently bending it repeatedly but not sure it's going to become flexible enough to where it conforms to my wrist.

[@TheSuaveEntrepreneur]

I have the Artem style deployant! I really like it on my Seamaster 300. Their straps aren’t bad either

[@WatchUnwind]

I have a seamaster on the rubber which has the pin buckle. Would be cool to have this on the seamaster to have a deployment

[@mikec3454]

The brand is based in Australia but note their straps are made in China. For an extra $100 you can get a Rubber B made in Switzerland.

[@timchan334]

Pls let us know when an aftermarket strap is available for the defy classic

[@RocasThePenguin]

Hey Bruce! I'm in the market for a Speedmaster 3861, as you show in this video, a Navitimer B01 and a Zenith El-Primero Original 38 MM. Can't decide! Got any preference?

[@josemarcosmacalupumartinez6405]

Me encanta

[@bobj8877]

I recently ordered one of these Omega style artems. I already own the Silver Snoopy strap for my speedy, but was actually looking for something similar in solid black without branding for my non-Omega watches. In general though Bruce, I would say that you should try some more non-OEM straps. OEM is great for many things, but leather for example is usually pretty poor in comparison to third party. I'm a huge fan of Delugs for leather straps and also love to go a bit crazy with fully bespoke / custom straps from David at The Strap Tailor. Those will knock your socks off, they are so good.

[@BruceWilliams]

I've heard only good things about those!

[@JupiterTarts]

Artem needs to make these in navy blue. God, I'd buy one in every available size. Been waiting for colors beyond black for quite awhile now.

[@dv100000]

Yep indeed. ( 1: Tiffany turquoise BLUE, 2:Bentley GREEN, 3: Kevin ( shark tank)O’Leary RED, 4: Coldplay YELLOW, 5: snowflake ❄️ white, 6: silver, 9: gold… just a few suggestions and maybe with different colour stitching to Accentuate the dials Different features..

[@muffemod]

B-dubs coming through again!

[@luxman9463]

Generally one gets what one pays for. It’s like mounting a set of steel wheels with hubcaps on your 911.

[@usfkisr]

What size straps do you get, Standard or XL?

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

I'm torn between the hesalite or the sapphire sandwich. The hesalite because it could actually go to the moon and was used on the moon landings. I love the glare it gives 🌙 and the sapphire sandwich because it takes wear and tear better and I like being able to see 👀 the movement the choice is killing me 😅

[@ProfessorPesca]

I got the hesalite and wish I hadn’t. The crystal has some deep scratches that won’t come out with polywatch and overall it just scratches as soon as you look at it. If the Speedy was still in the 2-3k range then maybe, but it’s a serious amount of money now to have something that will look worn so quickly.

[@ramoncote1620]

I went sapphire and love it. I would trash a hezalite crystal as I wear mine doing mechanical work

[@artagain8977]

Unless an aftermarket product is miles above and OEM product, I will always chose OEM. If can afford a $6800 Omega then what’s $600 for an OEM strap? Especially when the quality is better. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one of these for any Seiko product though.

[@Pondewal]

Anyone know if this will fit a 6.5 inch wrist on a speedmaster professional?

[@WetWatches]

Great Review, Strap and Watch are begging Wet 💦

[@davidbreckler5327]

The deployant only works if you have a 7 inch wrist. They should offer one for smaller wrists.

[@Talon276]

They’ve updated it now! Will fit smaller wrists

[@johnakos23]

They need to make them smaller or offer two sizes.

[@guptosan]

Quality is good, however expensive and quite slow shipment. Practically a monopoly without any comparable competition, unfortunately. So if you want a good sailcloth strap, there is nothing much to do but suck it up and pay (and wait).

[@millersciencesms762]

Genteel Handmade and Aaron Bespoke are much better options for Oem straps.

[@tpjv01]

Omega clasp $299 vs. Artem Omega style $68 🤔

[@uga.d4173]

Too expensive. The Omega style and deployant are north of $200. Pass.

[@nevroaktiv782]

A couple months of use. No emergense in water. Still the strap is full of crackers. Artem Sailcloth look good, perform bad. Stay away

[@msarel]

All the warm welcoming reviews and kind words will not cover the fact that this is a company whose only place in the world that they will not ship their products to with faint claims of shipping problems is Israel . pure shame..

[@ofanning06]

Unpopular opinion: I do not like their straps. I purchased the loopless variant like on this video with the Omega deployant clasp. Within a week the inside lining of the strap was coming apart and there was fraying at the lugs. Thankfully I was able to get a full refund. Never again. 👎

[@millersciencesms762]

Interesting. I am waiting on the pin buckle version. Deployants have too many variables that can go wrong.

[@BruceWilliams]

Ah that's no good! No problems with mine but I wear it on occasion the past 6 months. Not frequently

[@ofanning06]

@@BruceWilliams glad to hear you’re not having issues. I really wanted to like it, but too many issues to justify keeping it considering how much it costs. I’m going to try out a RubberB strap and hope to have better luck. It would be cool to see one of their straps featured on your channel!
