## Caption

Steel bracelets get the attention.

But rubber straps have a long history in professional diving.

Metal expands and contracts with temperature. Leather fails in saltwater. Nylon can stay soaked for hours. But rubber remains flexible, waterproof, and stable in extreme environments.

That’s why rubber became the strap of choice for #military and professional #divers.

Our rubber straps are manufactured in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland using FKM rubber — a high-performance fluoroelastomer known for its resistance to heat, saltwater, oils, and UV exposure.

A strap is often treated as an afterthought. But like everything on a #Marathon watch, a rubber strap exists for a real-world reason.
