The Stratos Band's hybrid titanium + FKM construction combines two complementary materials: grade 4 titanium and FKM fluoroelastomer. The outer titanium links provide mechanical strength and precision finishing, while the FKM elements placed inside the strap provide flexibility and a natural fit to the wrist.
This combination creates a structure that maintains stability while offering greater flexibility and comfort. FKM is a material highly resistant to external factors and allows for easy cleaning with soap and water.
The entire structure has been designed as a cohesive system, with each element fulfilling a specific technical and functional function. N52 Magnetic Clasp: The clasp mechanism utilizes N52-class magnets, which are responsible for the precise and stable connection of the bracelet elements.
The design has been optimized for increased holding power and resistance to unfastening the strap during wear. The magnetic elements are corrosion-resistant, improving their durability over time. The clasp system ensures a precise fit every time you put it on, eliminating the need for adjustments during use.
Water-resistant construction. The bracelet is designed to be water-resistant, allowing it to be used in a variety of environmental conditions. The use of FKM material and a carefully selected link structure ensure the material retains its properties even with regular exposure to moisture.
This material can be cleaned with soap and water, simplifying maintenance. However, the structure requires complete drying after contact with water before reuse, due to the nature of the materials used within the links.
The combination of hydrophobic properties and resistance to external factors ensures the stability and functionality of the structure in everyday use. A design refined in every detail. The Stratos Band design process spanned over two years of development.
During this time, both the geometry of the titanium links and the way the flexible FKM elements are connected within the structure were refined. Every detail, from the curvature of the links to the latent flexibility of the material, was optimized to balance stiffness and comfort.
The result is a design in which all components interact predictably and repeatedly, ensuring mechanical integrity and ergonomics. The Stratos Band's fit and link design utilizes a curved link system that molds to the wrist.
An internal FKM layer provides additional flexibility, allowing the structure to adapt to the wearer's natural movements without sacrificing stability. The bracelet is designed as a universal solution, suitable for wrists with circumferences ranging from 130 mm to 200 mm.
The proportions and fit of the components are integral to the technical design, which aims to achieve a balance between durability and comfort.
