Figured I’d send along my recommendation for the Artem Sailcloth on the 3861. I was always more of a braclet guy until this strap! Happy weekend folks.

I love a black strap with white stitching on a Speedmaster. Classic.

It’s really fantastic. They are sailcloth straps made in the mold of a Blancpain’s. It brings the strap back to its racing origins with the stitching in my opinion.

Looks great. How flexible are they? I hate stuff straps.

I don’t have much to compare to, but my understanding is they are much more flexible out of the box than other straps in this category, with minimal creasing, which is an issue with Sailcloth.

Good Morning All! I would second the recommendation for Artem straps. I have one on my Planet Ocean, and this past week took delivery of a new Artem strap for my Unimatic U1-H. They provide nice stability for the heavier PO, and the quality of material used and construction seems top notch. I’m not a fan of stiff watch straps either, and after a day or so, these Artem straps felt great. All day and night comfort in a watch strap which I think looks awesome as well.

they are the most flexible true sailcloth strap I have found. Just ordered my second one a few days ago. They also have two deployant options — one similar to the Omega deployant, one similar to Blancpain. I have the Omega-like one and it is very solid.

Does Artem make versions for an Omega deployment?

It works on that speedy perfectly!! I have had 2 Artem and will probably own more, their combination of appearance, comfort, and versatility are hard to beat IMO

My opinion is that they are generally more flexible than comparable straps out of the box, but they still benefit from a break in period. I have read "no break in required", and that was not my experience from 2 of them

I also recommend them. This is a 20mm on my Chronomaster Sport.

They are by far the most comfortable sailcloth strap I have worn.
