In our impression, Rolex watches only come with metal bracelets, and leather strap models are not mainstream. The fashion-forward combination of the innovative rubber strap with Rolex watches is something that we could never have imagined. It is widely known that the evolution of Rolex watches is limited, and new generations of wristwatches usually only feature minor changes. However, every time Rolex makes a subtle change, it immediately captures attention and greatly alters the visual experience of the watch, while also keeping up with trends.


 


The Oysterflex rubber strap was first introduced in 2015 with the release of the new Replica Rolex Yacht-Master II. Apart from its excellent waterproof characteristics and soft touch, the fashionable appearance created by the patented Oysterflex rubber strap has also made it a favorite among watch enthusiasts. However, because Rolex did not produce rubber straps before, watch enthusiasts had to customize their own rubber straps. Its inner layer has a patented vertical cushioning system, similar to a stretchable rubber sheet, which prevents the watch from sliding and easily secures it to the wrist.

 

The Oysterflex strap can also be equipped with different materials of the Oyster-style safety clasp, which prevents the strap from accidentally coming off. Since its release in 2015, the Oysterflex strap has been first used on the new Yacht-Master 40 Ref.116655, the smaller Yacht-Master 37 Ref.268655, and three precious metal Daytona watches launched in 2017. Combined with the ceramic bezel, it gives the Daytona watch a younger style, gradually attracting a younger demographic to Rolex.
