NEW RELEASES
Elliot Brown
releases new
neon watch strap
collection
Watch brand Elliot Brown has released
a new collection of neon straps as it
looks ahead to spring.
The Poole-based watch specialists
have combined their passion for
making durable, weather-proof watches
with a variety of vibrant new colours.
Made from EPDM rubber, the new
straps are hypoallergenic and are not
sticky like their silicone counterparts.
Elliot Brown describes the new straps
as “perfect for watersport lovers
as they are resistant to seawater
and won’t disintegrate from UV ray
damage”.
Co-founder Ian Elliot, commenting
on the collection, said: “We needed a
practical rubber strap that performs
effortlessly, just like our watches.
They’re laden with the kind of gorgeous
detailing we’re renowned for including
a lovely local story involving the
breather lines cut into the back that are
hand drawn contours from a favourite
coastal spot.
“The 3D profile of the strap perfectly
moulds to fit up against the watch
case. The edges of the strap slope at
45 degrees from the shoulder of the
watch all the way to the tip, resulting
in a soft silhouette against the wrist
and an incredibly strong strap. It’s also
easier to slide under a cuff without
getting it snagged.”
The new straps include design
features such as a buckle that was
redesigned four times, and is secured
to the strap with a screw-in pin, not the
traditional spring-bar.
