Rubber Straps

Their high-end quality is a perfect match for the sporty elegance that characterises Longines' watches.

HIGH-END QUALITY

Compression- or injection-moulded rubber straps offer excellent mechanical, aesthetic and chemical properties. The versatility of the manufacturing process also means that the straps can be made in an array of colours and surface finishes.

Longines' rubber straps are heat-treated in a process known as vulcanisation, designed to increase the resistance of the rubber yet preserve its elasticity. It is different from natural rubber, which is made from latex collected from rubber trees and renowned for its cushioning properties, and from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which is halfway between vulcanised and plastic rubber.

COMFORTABLE AND LONG-LASTING

Longines' rubber straps are comfortable to wear and comply with the most stringent standards governing biocompatibility and skin contact. Under normal conditions of use, rubber straps last for an average of 18  months. They can, however, age prematurely when exposed to the stresses of urban life or to excessive sunshine.
