WEARING RUBBER STRAPS FOR WINTER SPORT - A GREAT IDEA
Whether or not you prefer skiing or snowboarding, or even a mix of both, the winter sports season is about to start. With the festivities right around the corner, very soon everyone will be hitting slopes and ice rinks to make the most of the season sports available to us.
As watch enthusiasts, we love to wear out watches, especially our sports watches, whilst we do everything to make the most amount of memories with them. However, when it comes to Winter sports wearing them on a rubber strap is a particularly good idea not just because they look and feel great but can also reduce injury to yourself.
When travelling at high speeds down the slopes or even gently skating along the ice rinks, a fall onto a compact part of the snow or ice is not a soft landing by any imagination. Wearing a watch in a metal bracelet can cause you to have a sore wrist as when you fall most people tend to reach out their arms to ease the blow of the fall.
Your wrists are one of the first parts of the body to hit the ground so having a soft ZEALANDE rubber strap on your wrist will ensure you don’t feel your metal watch bravely smash into your wrist! Hence having a high quality made rubber strap, like the ones ZEALANDE make, will make your winter sports that bit safer and reduce injury.
Other than a safety aspect of wearing a rubber strap during your winter sporting activities, it also makes the watch look fantastic! Nothing beats a sporty look when you’re racing down the slopes or relaxing with all your gear at a bar high up in the mountains.
Some like to wear monochromatic skiing outfits whilst others love bright colours, with a ZEALANDE rubber strap on your watch you can really continue your outfit design right the way down to your wrist. Being able to add your own unique strap to your luxury watch is something that will definitely help set you apart from the crown.
It also puts more focus on the watch itself and you will notice that when you look down at your wrist, it’s the watch that immediately grabs the attention supported by the rubber strap.

If you happen to own a Rolex, Omega, Tudor or Tag Heuer (and many more!) you can choose between a curved end strap designed to hug your watch perfectly giving that OEM look or one of ZEALANDE’s single pass straps. Both offer 316L tang buckles for durability and with their logo engraved on the inside for attention to detail. The curved end straps will seamlessly integrate with your watch to give it a more elegant look and for those that like the sleek look of a strap flowing from the watch round your wrist, this is the perfect option.
You can choose your buckle to reflect the finishing of your watch too with brush steel, polished, black PVD or gold to select, the same options apply to ZEALANDE’s brilliant deployment clasp. Adding the deployment clasp will make putting on and taking the watch off that bit quicker. Once you have adjusted the clasp to fit the strap at the length you need, it takes all but a few seconds to close up the butterfly deployment clasp.
However, for those who enjoy the nato strap style strap that gives your watch that utilitarian look, ZEALANDE’s single pass strap will definitely help you. Smooth and soft yet durable, the single pass strap from ZEALANDE is designed to keep your watch hugged to your wrist whilst offering you comfort and style. You can choose from 4 different colours to match or complement your watch or outfit.
The great thing about these types of straps is if you have other watches with the same lug width you can swap the straps between them all. This allows you to get the maximum use out of your ZEALANDE strap and enjoy it across a range of your watches.
For those who love that military look, but you prefer a fitted rubber strap to a nato style one, ZEALANDE can help you out. Their new camo colour strap comes in both your classic woodland colour scheme and a new snow camo pattern.
You can be sure that this strap will help you get that camouflage look. With the second keeper having a pin on the inside of it, the keeper will not move once you have adjusted it to your desired position.
This colourway is a very unique one with very few others having, so if you are someone who wants to have a look that you can be sure very few others have, this is definitely the strap to go for.
The other added benefit of the colourway is because it has several colours integrated into the design (white, black & grey) it can pair nicely with many different watch styles and dial colour. This makes it a very versatile strap so you can get the most wear out of it using it across all your different watches.
And there you have it, a good few reasons why wearing a ZEALANDE rubber strap whilst you enjoy your Winter sports is a great idea. From preventing injury to looking the part whilst you shoot done the side of a mountain, a rubber strap designed perfectly for your luxury watch is a must-have. It is the perfect way to give your luxury watch a whole new look and feel that you are sure to love.
