A watch is an everyday, functional accessory but it can also make a fabulous fashion statement. As a consequence, shopping for that unique timepiece that speaks your language, as well as compliments your style, can take time and patience alongside a good eye for detail. Because, let's face it, the strap of a watch can make or break the style of the timepiece it graces. More so than ever before, there are a wide variety of choices for both watch-strap materials and looks. And which one you choose, simply comes down to style and preference.
Metal Watches: Many people appreciate the durability of the metal watch "bracelets," which are also great for versatility. Gold and stainless steel are the most common metals selected for watches because of their durability—a metal bracelet can be kept, without replacement for up to 20 years. They are also a popular choice because of their versatility. A metal watch bracelet can be dressed up with a three-piece-suit or dressed down with jeans and a tee-shirt—it's timeless, classic and effortless to wear. A perfect example? The Seiko Chronograph Men's Watch, which is understated , timeless and chic. In short, the watch is a perfect example of how effortless the stainless steel watch can be.
Ceramic watches: In recent years, thanks to the debut of Chanel's first unisex watch, the J12, in 2000, ceramic watch straps (a non-metal alternative that is highly resistant to scratches) have been increasing in popularity in both the men's watches and women's watch sectors of the industry, with many brand name watch manufacturers adopting the trend. Ceramic watches lend a modern appeal to a silhouette that is most commonly seen in metal watches Invicta's Ocean Ceramic for Women is just one of our popular ceramic examples.
Rubber watch straps: The rubber watch band is part of the synthetic strap family, which also includes ceramic and silicone. Generally found on a sports- or divers-style watches, a rubber strap is light and can weather the storm, earning it an A+ for durability. With a rubber strap the worry of a scratch (or even replacement) can be put to the back of your mind as they are the number-one voted watch strap for both resistance and durability. What's more they are the most economical to replace. Rubber watch straps lend a casual appearance to the watch face they flank, particularly because they often come in an array of bright colors. A bestselling watch currently sporting the rubber band, alongside one of this seasons popular trends Rose Gold, is the Swiss Legend Men's Commander, which is the perfect blend of casual and elegance.
Leather watch straps: Whether you prefer pig skin or ostrich, snake skin or cow hide, there is a leather strap for you. A classic watch strap material, leather is timeless and lends a bookish or preppy appeal to the watch on which it's featured. The appeal of leather is that it "breaks in" and weathers, for a well-loved and worn appearance.
