HIGH TENSILE SILICONE

BARTON's Elite Silicone straps utilize rubber that can endure a wide range of temperatures and a great deal of force without deforming. You will find that they are extremely soft to the touch and comfortable on the wrist. We analyzed and tested a range of hardness levels on the 'Shore A' durometer scale and settled on the one that was the most comfortable without sacrificing any durability. All of our silicone watch straps are also specially treated to assure that they do not smell or attract dust.

316L STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS

Our Elite Silicone Quick Release watch bands use 316L surgical grade stainless steel buckles with a solid tang and brushed finish.  Others use lower grade stainless steels or even iron. Iron components rust and need to be bulkier and heavier to achieve strength comparable to that of stainless steel. The finish on iron parts can weather or wear off, leaving a dull, scrap-metal appearance. If you take a knife to our stainless steel components, you will find a material that 1) is solid all the way through, 2) is difficult to scratch or bend and 3) maintains its initial shine for many years.
