Artem describes HydroFlex as a one-piece, dual-stage vulcanised FKM rubber strap with a sailcloth pattern embossed on its surface. To choose one, match the strap’s lug width to your watch, then decide whether you want the Classic tang buckle or the Loop-less folding deployant.

What is Artem HydroFlex made of?

Artem identifies HydroFlex as its dual-stage vulcanised FKM rubber formulation. On the Classic V2, the sailcloth look is an embossed surface pattern; the strap is not described as sailcloth over a leather base. Artem says the Classic and Loop-less HydroFlex share the same one-piece FKM construction and sailcloth embossing. These are the manufacturer’s descriptions, not results of an independent materials test. Artem’s Classic HydroFlex V2 product page

Artem calls HydroFlex “Fully vegan and waterproof” and says it has “Zero break-in.” Those are the manufacturer’s claims; they should not be taken as independently verified material or performance findings. Artem contrasts HydroFlex with its Standard Sailcloth strap, which it describes as a layered synthetic upper, leather base and thin natural-rubber coating. Artem’s Hydroflex collection page

How to check whether HydroFlex fits your watch

Match strap width to lug width

Measure the distance between the inside edges of the watch’s lugs, or check the watch maker’s specifications. Choose a strap with that same lug width: for example, a watch with 20 mm lugs needs a 20 mm strap. The watch brand alone does not establish fit; different models can use different lug widths.

Check length and wrist fit separately

A strap’s stated wrist range is a guide, not a guarantee. Wrist shape, hand size, watch-case geometry and closure type can affect how it sits and whether it fastens comfortably. Use Artem’s sizing guidance for the specific configuration, and consider how the strap will pass over your hand as well as how it will fit around your wrist.

Classic vs. Loop-less HydroFlex

Feature Classic HydroFlex Loop-less HydroFlex
Closure Traditional tang buckle with keeper loops. Folding deployant clasp.
Adjustment Set the fit through the buckle holes, as with a conventional strap. Artem describes it as a slip-on system adjusted once for the wearer.
Core construction One-piece FKM with an embossed sailcloth pattern, according to Artem. Artem says it shares the HydroFlex FKM construction and embossed pattern.
Displayed lug-width options 19–23 mm on the reviewed Classic V2 page. 18–23 mm on the displayed Loop-less product page.

The practical distinction is the fastening system, not a documented difference in core HydroFlex material. Choose Classic if you prefer a familiar buckle and hole-based adjustment; choose Loop-less if you want Artem’s folding deployant setup and are comfortable setting its fit. Neither closure is established as universally better.

What comes with the Classic V2, and what may be separate?

The reviewed Classic V2 configuration includes fitted quick-release stainless-steel spring bars and a 316L stainless-steel tang buckle. Artem says a compatible deployant can be added, with the tang buckle supplied separately. That is an option for the Classic configuration, not a requirement for using the tang-buckle strap. For Loop-less, Artem lists the compatible Loop-Less deployant clasp as sold separately; check the selected product configuration before assuming it is included.
