Life is simply too short to be boring. The watch strap industry has barely changed for a century and we thought it was time for a unique twist. From the combination of stylish and natural materials to the innovative functionality, our team has considered every detail to create a watch strap that is as advanced as the watches they connect to.
Even by SteelConnect standards, the Remod X Band is creative in the extreme. The line of watch straps, geared towards Apple Watch wearers, is completely reversible with a sophisticated Reversible Twist Link (simply “pull, twist, lock”) that allows wearers to change up their style in seconds.
In addition, the universal Jump Buckle enables the tightening of straps on either side. Our team’s attention to detail is obsessive, so it should be no surprise that we developed a Jump Buckle mechanism to intuitively shift the pin lock from one side to the other side. As a result (no matter how you twist it), your watch will feel perfect on your wrist.
We change our appearance every day. Why shouldn’t your watch have the same flexibility?
Even considering the very simple process of connecting the strap to your watches, we want Remod X to be enjoyed to its full potential by everyone. That’s why we developed our Dual Quick Release function, which is designed for left and right handed individuals to easily swap from one watch strap to the other.
This time we collaborated with leading Swiss company Braloba to manufacture our entire line. Braloba merged with passion and the will to create the best possible product. Braloba is a high quality vendor of watch bands, bracelets, and straps for both the classic watch industry and the growing smart watch industry. As a premium supplier, they strive to produce top-notch quality only and therefore strictly use high quality leather, textile, rubber, silicone, and nylon in their production processes. From their capability and experiences, we are confident that the final pieces landing on your wrist will be fascinating.
Our main body is manufactured using high-performance fluoroelastomer rubber that is also used for numerous applications in the aerospace, automotive, and industrial industries. Fluoroelastomer is highly resistant to heat, oil, chemicals, and wear. Its benefits include reliability, comfort, stability, and it’s even dust proof! These new Remod X straps are made from the absolute softest and most flexible fluoroelastomer you can imagine, a familiar favorite to those who have experienced the OEM Apple Watch Sport Strap. Pure, natural, and chemical-free, Remod X straps are hypoallergenic.
All the metal parts are manufactured from stainless steel 316, which is used in the construction of medical instruments and jewelry. Stainless steel 316 is strong and extremely resistant to corrosion from sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine. Function is important, but form must equally be taken into consideration, and so the Remod X design incorporates a flawless, flush design on every element of the watch case and lugs. Available in more than ten different materials and color options, every detail of a Remod X strap is considered with regards to form and function.
The Remod X watch strap comes in a variety of looks; combining materials to push the boundaries of style even further. Thanks to a collaboration with Swiss company, Braloba, Remod X straps mix together a variety of distinct, premium materials including Horween Leather, Italian Leather, Japan Kurabo Mill Denim, Ligneah Wood Fabric, Cordura Engineered Fabric, and fluoroelastomer rubber.
A special edition glow in the dark material will be made available in a Stretch Goal.
We aim to bring new life to the watch strap industry by drawing inspiration from those who came before us. The Reverso is probably the most recognized reversible watch, however another brand got there first, with the Universal Geneve Cabriolet. More recently, in 2014, Patek Philippe released a double-faced reversible wristwatch for its 175th anniversary. Pricing starts at £29 and you can learn more by visiting our Kickstarter campaign here.
