Black omega velcro strap12/30/2023 ![]() This may or may not be a ‘hot take’ but I find crocodile straps quite objectionable, even aside from the moral dubiousness of sourcing, I just don’t care for the way they look, even on formal watches (especially on formal watches). Side note: nowhere has that contrast more striking than the Greubel Forsey showed off on our podcast by Steve Hallock, which was affixed to a branded and color-coordinated leather strap with velcro fastener. There’s also something undeniably charming about mixing a high luxury such as a watch, with such a utilitarian material normally associated with stuff like backpacks, trapper keepers, and furniture cushions. I initially recoiled at the thought, but after a closer look, and more importantly, trying it on, I quickly came around to the concept. The first encounter I had with a velcro, or hook and loop fastening, to put it more accurately (VELCRO is a trademark brand of products), on a watch strap was seeing a colleague’s Grand Seiko affixed to a black Rubber B unit with a velcro fastener. It’s flexible, infinitely adjustable, and comfortable, so why aren’t we seeing it used more often on watches at all price points? I can sense a tide turning here so consider this my own little nudge to get the idea over the hill. Quickly throwing these bad boys on and hitting the door was all the freedom I needed, and I get the same quality (along with a touch of nostalgia) today with watches that use this stuff on straps. This strap can be made to fit the watch case of your Rolex Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, Datejust II, Day Date President, Sky-Dweller, GMT Master, GMT Master II, Explorer I, Explorer II, Air-King, Milgauss, Submariner, Submariner Date, Sea-Dweller, Yacht-Master, Yacht-Master II, Cosmograph Daytona.As a young lad growing up in the ‘80s, a set of velcro strap shoes were a core part of my wardrobe, which also consisted of a sweet Robin Yount shirt and a set of corduroy overalls.
