FKM (Fluoroelastomer) men's rubber watch straps, such as our Tissot rubber watch strap, are the ideal solution for those seeking strength and durability.

• Chemical Insensitivity: Unlike other rubbers, FKM does not degrade when exposed to oils, fuels or solvents
• Excellent resistance to UV and ozone: Does not whiten or become brittle over time

3. Vulcanization for an ultra-resistant bracelet

Vulcanization is a key process that ensures a stronger, more stable, and more wear-resistant strap than a non-vulcanized rubber strap. It involves heating the rubber with sulfur to strengthen its molecular structure. This treatment creates strong chemical bonds between the polymers, significantly improving the strap's resistance to mechanical stress, temperature variations, and external aggressions. All our men's rubber watch straps are vulcanized. Thanks to the combination of FKM and vulcanization, our Seiko rubber watch strap guarantees exceptional durability, perfect for intensive use and extreme conditions.
