Rubber straps combine functionality, comfort, and style in a way that no other wristband can. Typically, they complement sporty watches designed for everyday wear and outdoor adventures. However, as many of the models in our 2025 watch trend show, rubber straps can also add a certain, albeit subtle, elegance to a timepiece.

Rubber Straps Are Made for Action

Few bracelet materials are as durable, easy to care for, and comfortable to wear as natural rubber. It is waterproof, sweat resistant and extremely robust, making it ideal for outdoor activities, diving and sports. At the same time, the soft surface and flexibility of the material ensure that you will never want to take off your watch with a rubber strap. If the wear and tear of everyday life leaves marks on the strap, they can be easily removed with a little water and mild soap.

Watches with Rubber Straps at Wempe

From color to texture to complication, the variety of rubber strap watches is vast. For our watch trend, we have selected models with colorful straps and dials, such as those from Longines, as well as watches with technical refinements and a distinctly sporty look, such as those from IWC Schaffhausen or Breitling. All of these models are perfect for casual looks and are designed to be worn for sports and everyday activities.

With the right combination, watches with rubber straps also go well with smart-casual outfits. The Breitling, Ulysse Nardin and Panerai models in particular exude elegance because, in addition to their special textured rubber straps, their cases and dials have a more classic design and are sometimes set with diamonds.
