Do heat and perspiration turn your watch strap into a real source of discomfort?

Discover the best choices for summer, combining durability and style. Whether you prefer a nylon NATO watch strap, rubber, or silicone, explore options tailored to your needs and summer trends.

Why Change your Watch Strap in Summer

Perspiration and heat deteriorate classic watch straps. Leather darkens, cracks, and emits unpleasant odors. Fabric models retain moisture, promoting bad smells. Even metal bracelets become slippery in summer, making them less secure to wear, or burning if left in the sun for too long.

Opting for a summer-appropriate strap improves your comfort and preserves your accessory. Materials like nylon, rubber, or silicone are sweat-resistant. They dry quickly and require little maintenance. Your watch remains in good condition while staying comfortable to wear in high temperatures.

NATO Strap: the Ideal Choice for Summer

Durable and versatile, the nylon NATO strap is an ideal summer accessory. Designed in 1973 for military personnel, this breathable fabric model prevents sweat accumulation. It dries quickly and adapts to all styles thanks to its countless colors and patterns. Explore our range of NATO straps to find the one that meets your expectations.

Easy to adapt, NATO straps complement all watch models. A navy blue NATO enhances a classic watch, while a striped model energizes a sports watch. Their wide range of colors allows you to harmonize your accessory with your light summer outfits, without fear of humidity or splashes. An accessory as practical as it is stylish.

Rubber Straps to Brave the Heat

Rubber straps are resistant to water, sweat, and high temperatures. Their waterproof surface prevents sweat absorption. They retain their flexibility even in direct sunlight. Their easy maintenance makes them a practical choice for the warm months. To go further, discover our collection of rubber straps and find the ideal model for this summer.

Clean your rubber strap regularly with lukewarm water and mild soap. A microfiber cloth or a soft toothbrush removes ingrained dirt. Rinse thoroughly and let air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Silicone Straps: Comfort and Durability

The silicone strap easily adjusts to your wrist thanks to its flexibility. It remains lightweight and retains neither sweat nor moisture. This material is resistant to UV rays and summer heat. You benefit from a secure fit without marking the skin.

Vibrant hues dominate silicone straps for summer. Sky blue, sun yellow, and mint green harmonize with your summer looks. Some models feature geometric or fluorescent patterns. A trendy touch to personalize your watch.

The Advantages of Fabric Straps

Fabric straps offer lightness and ventilation for summer. Their breathable structure allows air to circulate between the fibers. You avoid sweat accumulation against the skin. These models are particularly suitable for wrists sensitive to heat.

Cotton, nylon, and polyester make up fabric straps. Striped or plain patterns harmonize with your casual or sports looks. Easy maintenance adds to their comfort. A quick wipe with a damp sponge is enough to keep your strap clean.

Perlon Straps: Elegance and Freshness

Perlon stands out with its woven structure that combines lightness and durability. This synthetic material, derived from nylon, offers better breathability than a classic strap. Its slightly textured surface improves grip on the wrist without marking the skin. Compared to traditional nylon, perlon is more resistant to abrasion while maintaining optimal flexibility.

Perlon straps adapt to all watch sizes thanks to their continuous adjustment system. You adjust the length by sliding the keeper through the metal buckle. Available in 18 mm, 20 mm, and 22 mm, these models harmonize equally well with a dive watch as with a dress watch. Their matte finish adds a subtle and elegant touch to your summer accessory.

Tropic Straps: Vintage Design and Performance

The tropic strap is inspired by dive watches from the 1960s-70s. This vulcanized rubber model is resistant to water and heat. Its textured surface evokes the seabed explored by the first professional divers. Unlike silicone, it does not trap sweat and emits no unpleasant odor.

  • Resistant to water, sweat, and temperature changes
  • Comfortable thanks to its grooved surface that allows the wrist to breathe
  • Timeless with its design inspired by collector’s watches
  • Easy to clean under clear water after salt exposure
  • Adaptable to many watches thanks to 18 mm, 20 mm, and 22 mm sizes

Tropic straps integrate with vintage dive watches like the Rolex Submariner or the Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox Deep Sea. They also enhance contemporary models like the Seiko SKX007. The crosshatch and contour pattern evoke the marine past while maintaining a decidedly modern spirit.

Trendy Colors for Summer Straps

Watch straps adopt vibrant or pastel shades this summer. Sky blue, lemon yellow, and mint green dominate the collections. Two-tone models like black and red or blue and white create a dynamic contrast. For a subtle style, dark brown harmonizes with neutral outfits.

Summer patterns revisit classics with stripes or geometric prints. A metallic and black two-tone strap enhances a sports watch. Fluorescent shades like electric orange or candy pink pair with bold looks. These variations transform a watch into a seasonal personalization accessory.

How to Easily Change your Strap?

To replace your strap, you can purchase a strap changing kit including a spring bar tool, a screwdriver, and a microfiber cloth. The spring bar tool is used to release the spring bars. Screw-in models require a precision screwdriver. Always handle your watch with care to avoid scratches.
