If you’re catching up to Fratello, you may remember Mike’s recent article introducing Artem Loop-Less™ Pean. Well, they’ve returned to the spotlight, and for good reason. I dropped a video showing these amazing straps in more detail. After all, what about the video if the photo says a thousand words? Artem’s loop-less™♥hydroflex™§Strap is a rare case where style and content are gathered seamlessly. literally.
For those unfamiliar, the straps offer the sophisticated aesthetic of canvas with the robust performance of FKM rubber. No, it’s not just marketing fluff. Unlike traditional sailcross straps that feature waterproofing and hybrid construction, the Loopless™§yhrofflex™ Pier is made of molded FKM rubber. The magic lies in the execution: Artem was able to recreate the exterior Sailcloth texture, wrapping the design around the edges and sides. result? The strap appears to be made in a traditional layered way, but it offers all the durability and comfort of the rubber.
Dive deep into the design
It is not only Australia’s attention to detail that makes Loop-Less™♥ stand out from the blends of ingredients. Textures are not simply printed or engraved. Rather, it is integrated into the very construction of the rubber, creating the illusion of stitched canvas (the stitching is actually real!) while retaining the waterproof and sweat-resistant properties that FKM rubber is known for. There is no outer layer of fabric that can be worn out over time. Just a clean and refined strap made for longevity.
And there’s the loopless design. If you’ve ever had a traditional strap keeper slipped or worn out, I’d like to thank for this feature. Artem’s solutions eliminate the need for traditional keepers and provide a safe fit without the usual fuss. The aesthetics remain sophisticated and uninterrupted, making it perfect for sporty and dressy watches.
Real-world performance
Look aside, the Loop-Less™♥Hydroflex™§ feels great on the wrist. FKM rubber is known for its flexibility, resistance to temperature changes, and hypoallergenic properties. Unlike some canvas/rubber hybrids that feel stiff from the box, this strap fits naturally on your wrist from day one. It’s a kind of strap that disappears when you wear it – comfortable, reliable, designed to handle everything from desk duties to deep dives.
Whether combined with modern divers and vintage chronographs, The Loop-Less™§hydroflex™ Pian keeps things versatile. As you’re home with an Omega Speedmaster as Tudor Pelagos, it’s an easy upgrade for anyone looking to refine the aesthetics of a watch without sacrificing practicality.
