Classic Overview

Classic Overview

The original Artem watch strap launched in 2019, the Classic range draws inspiration from the iconic Blancpain Fifty Fathoms strap.

The Classic strap represents a perfect blend of timeless design and modern craftsmanship.

Crafted for the adventurous spirit, this strap is water-friendly, making it a perfect companion for all your explorations.

Shipping

Our aim is to deliver your order as quickly as possible. Orders are processed from our facility in Adelaide, Australia within three business days after order confirmation. Estimated transit times outlined below commence once your order has been processed and dispatched from our facility. You will receive tracking information via email once your order is en route. Should tracking details not appear immediately, rest assured, as updates may take a moment to become visible. Please be mindful that the delivery times provided on our site are estimates only. Actual delivery durations may vary due to factors such as location, weather, holidays, customs processes, and other external influences.

Refer to the details below for local and international shipping rates and transit times.

Local Orders Within Australia

Local orders with an Australian shipping address will be shipped via Australia Post Express with an estimated transit time of 2-5 business days. Shipping fees are outlined below:

• Orders under US$75 incur a US$7 flat rate shipping fee

• Orders above US$75 get free shipping Australia wide

Note: For Australian based customers, GST will be applied at checkout.

International Orders

For most international destinations, we are able to provide both Standard and Express shipping. Our Standard shipping option is the most economical but has an estimated transit time of at least 14-27 business days (not calendar days). With this shipping option, DHL hands over the parcel to the local postal organisation (i.e. USPS in USA, etc.) once it reaches the destination country, which can result in further processing times and delays. These processing times are out of our control, so please select Express shipping if you need your order swiftly.

Our Express shipping option is significantly faster, although costs more. We try and subsidise this cost as much as possible based on your order value.

Note: We currently do not ship to APO or FPO addresses.

If you would like to exchange your item(s) for an item(s) of greater value, the price difference will be payable along with the shipping fees mentioned above (if applicable).

  4. Once we receive the item, you will be sent an invoice for the $US20 price difference. The shipping back to you will be free because the exchanged item is above US$200, so it qualifies for free express shipping as per our Shipping Policy.
  5. The exchanged items will be dispatched to you once you have paid the invoice.

Note: Artem Straps reserves the right to deny a return or exchange if the item(s) does not meet the criteria outlined above.

    Excellent

    Overall, my experience with Artem straps has been outstanding. The classic sailcloth straps have terrific fit and finish with a classic aesthetic. The two I have purchase have held up well over time.

    I recently purchased the Hydroflex strap with the RM clasp and am equally impressed (see video below). Out-of-the-box fit is very comfortable. The sailcloth and rubber combination feels dynamic but with the same well-kept appearance.

    Artem customer service and responsiveness has been equally impressive.

    Artem Strap in Fortis

    I was looking for a sailcloth watch strap for my Fortis. I fell in love with the type of strap ever since my Blancpain came with such a type of strap. Blancpain straps are several several hundred dollars as well so the price did not shock me as much as perhaps other reviewers.

    You get what you pay for though. The strap is manufactured to the highest degree. is super comfortable and can take a beating. I have had it for over a year now, wore it at least half the time (my Fortis is my daily beater after all). It still looks brand new.

    I cant speak to assembly much but since it came with both the butterfly clasp as well as easy switch spring bars I have to complains there. If I can handle it, you can handle it!

    Now please enjoy a video of the strap with the beautiful crisp sound of a artem butterfly clasp snapping open. You will surely not get enough of it.

    Perfect strap for Tudor Black Bay Ceramic

    The Classic strap with black stitching works superbly with the Black Bay Ceramic.

    It also solves a paradox with this watch in that the original leather and rubber hybrid strap is not suitable for water use, despite the watch being waterproof to 200m. Tudor recommends cleaning the watch head by washing it, can’t really do that with the OEM hybrid strap. This can now be done easily with this strap. Also a doddle to use the quick release spring bars.

    I might have slightly damaged the strap a bit on the outside edge while moving the OEM deployant clasp up and down a bit on day one whilst selecting the ideal lug hole. Hopefully that’s just superficial and won’t affect the longevity of the strap itself.

    Fantastic too that this strap works with the OEM deployant clasp.

    Most importantly this strap perfectly suits the watch, it’s comfortable to wear, and it’s clearly very well made. There might be cheaper non OEM straps out there, but I doubt there are better ones.

    Great strap and great service

    Really nice strap. I’ve had an Artem strap before and the sail cloth makes for a different feel and vibe from the OEM bracelet and rubber strap which I bought with my Omega.
