When I was looking to replace the OEM sailcloth on my Blancpain I was ready to cough up OEM money, but figured I would give Artem a try first. First impressions were very positive, Artem Sailcloth Strap Review & Comparison Against..., and after owning it now for about a year I can say with certainty, they are worth it to me.

 

I bought one recently off ebay but sold it on soon after. The quality of the strap is excellent but I found the clasp was too short for the thickness of the strap so it stuck out. I understand that they have resolved this now so if you buy new, shouldn't be a problem. They have also just released an upgraded version with a deployant clasp. Not seen in the flesh but does look impressive but even more expensive! [emoji846]

Yes they are.

 

Yes, they are very nice for the money. I can't speak for the deployants, however.

 

Both strap and the deployant are worth it in my opinion.

 

Have never understood the value of sailcloth (or canvas) straps backed with leather, kinda defeats the purpose, no? What am I missing?

 

I believe they are lined with a proprietary material and have no leather for a 100% waterproof experience.

 

yes they are, i have mine 6 months now and i love it. i changed the buckle with an omega one as i always do with straps. i like branded buckles on all my straps.

 

Agree. Not the cheapest out there, but IMHO, certainly worth the price.
