ARTEM Deployant Clasps - How Do They Work ?

The RM one sucks. Waste of money

This video popped up in my feed today somehow. Well timed. I actually ordered a 23mm strap and deployant from Artem just the other day. The deployant is a decent investment, but I thought it was worth it. Your video just gave me lots of reassurance. 👍

I will give you everything looks nice and "premium" but those people are out of their tits charging over $300 for a rubber/sail cloth strap with chinese deployment buckle! I have a leather craftsman that custom cuts alligator straps any color under the sun with a deployment clasp , all hand sewn. Beautiful work , shipped for $90! Alligator and Crocodile leather!!! That Artum is ripping off the watch community! Just because you have the money to buy a Rolex doesn't mean you should purposely rip them off.

I just received the BP FF deployant after 3 weeks waiting for delivery. I had my Breitling Superocean heritage ii on a blue/white stich Artem strap. I was able to get a decent fit with the stock tag but this deployant made it feel like a new watch. They are very good quality and up there with OEM deployant's for well under $100 UDS. The polish finish is superb and a great match to the finish on my watch. I think I can cut off the loose keeper as it just fits so well. Thanks for the video.

These straps are cheap nylon looking sailcloth straps i ordered one and wish I could return it but cannot

Hi, thanks for these reviews. What’s the thickness of these artem straps (near the lugs). Would they be suitable for heavy divers?

Yiasou Peter / Petro do you have straps that tuck the excess strap under the buckle instead of over the buckle ?? Thanks!

Tag heuer makes an excellent style imho. One can convert most straps to work in the clasp style.

Which Deployant Clasps do you like the best out of those two? im about to buy one. im leaning towards the richard mill version.

Diese Schliesse verstehe ich nicht.

Hi Peter, danke für das Video. Das Tang Buckle habe ich soeben direkt in 21mm bestellt. Das Strap wird großartig an meiner Union Glashütte Belisar Sport Datum aussehen. 👌 Beste Grüße aus Germany. 🙋‍♂

People who say Cartier isn't a real watch company or a high horology brand clearly need to check their history

Man I wish you would have showed how to remove the original tang buckle and how to install the RM deployant.

I really don’t want to be THAT guy, but I must confess I was disappointed with my Artem sailcloth band. I didn’t buy a deployant clasp (although I wish I had). The band looked fantastic on my watch (and on my wrist), and was comfortable. The problem was that it cracked badly around the clasp holes, because of the bending required to insert the end of the band (which is pretty firm and unyielding) into the tabs/holders. Oh well. The band lasted about 6 or 8 months before the cracking started. Such is life…

Clasps work in any strap? Or only artem straps?

Great design and excellent fit and finish. Any possibility of Artem producing an 18mm deployment clasp?

They are nice and was looking to purchase one but wow are they pricey!

Rado do a nice deployment clasp, it has an extension that opens up to get the strap over your wrist. The tail is tucked away omega style, so very neat and comfortable. None of the clasp comes into contact with your wrist. I don't personally see the point of a deployment clasp where you still have keepers ? All that metal clasp touching your skin, it's a poor design in my opinion. Rados is very slimline , and yet strong. The whole point to a deployment clasp is hide the tail and do away with the keepers , giving a luxury feel. Let's be honest a lot of straps have keepers that stretch over time and start moving about , very annoying. A good deployment strap eliminates this. Nice try but no cigar this time old bud. Lol.

When the Blancpain style is closed, how many mm thick is it? Height-wise sitting on the wrist. I have an OEM Omega Rang Buckle, and it is the slimmest buckle I have ever had?

Great video mate. Keep up the good work.

Hey Peter, just a question. What's the point of these clasps? I'm old school, & I find normal straps secure, so I'm not really sure of the benefits. Like it raises the price considerably, so I'm just wondering is it just for looks? Because I do like the look of them, they look premium.

BUT what is the width of the buckle at the buckle end, to know what is the strap width? I assume you are quoting the lug width at the watch end... strap width at buckle end?

*Deployment clasp

(Just kidding, just kidding 😁)

Hi Peter,
I have a question for you.
I like the straps and clasps but my question is if these straps work well with a Girard Perregaux Sea Hawk. The Sea Hawk have curved pins so how does it go together? Originally the GP clasp do not need holes in the strap. It’s more like cut to fit. Do you make those as well?
Please let me/us know.

Hi Peter. Looks fantastic overall. How do you find the quick release spring bars? Are they well built and quality made in the same manner as the buckles? Thanks.

Fantastic video! Thanks for the detailed shots. What would you recommend for a small wrist?

Love your content! I would love to see you review the Formex ESSENCE ThirtyNine "Deployant" Clasp with Fine Adjustment. It looks like they make one of the best clasps in the industry. But I can't say for sure since I havent tried it yet.

Keep up the good work.

the Tongue buckle of the Artem straps is very flat, hope they make it a little bit curvey so it won't put a big gap between the strap and the buckle itself after fastening.

Why aren't there micro-adjustments on deployant clasps for straps? So annoying.

Great showcase of the clasps. Between the Omega and RM styles, which would you recommend for a tighter fit (for a smaller wrist)?

Does water penetrate and soak like a nato or does it bead and run off like a rubber strap?

Decent engineering from down under! My feeling is that Artem is pioneering with those clasp innovations. Nice video mate 👌

do these clasps work with leather straps? i don't like these straps but i like the clasps.

Ever had a look at Formex deployants?
Micro adjust (yes!), light and stylish, makes every other clasp feel prehistoric.

Great share, thanks

Formex watches also sell their clasp, its similar to the second one, but it has micro adjustments. You should check those out if you have a chance

The quality of the construction looks brilliant - headed over to their site now - Thank you !

Will it fit my 18 and 3/4inch rist thanks

The Artem straps are beautiful, there is no doubt about it. Unfortunately their customer isn't as good and I didn't enjoy the experience I had with them. I ordered a strap and next day the order was cancelled by them due to stock shortage. Only one day later the straps restocked. Frankly I felt the mickey taken out of me and to this day I lost the desire to order again from them. But that doesn't change the fact that these straps and clasps are superb. Nice one Pete! 👍

I have the Artem strap in 20 m with white stitching. It’s not for me, does anyone want it for free?

Wore it once and found it uncomfortable

Wow, thanks Peter 🤔👍.

Very nice. I have an Artem strap with tang buckle. A deployant one may be in order.

I picked one of these straps up a while back but I can’t stand a buckle. I tried one of my Ocean Crawler deployant clasps (omega style) and it wasn’t so great with that sewn in keeper. Maybe some keeper surgery is in order because it really is a great strap.

lovely clasps! ordering one soon!

I can tell you that RM model is the better one cause of the screw. First one, if its only pressure holding the space hole ( I'm really bending my vocabulary here) it can casually go out when the strap is braked in.

But, these deployant clasps are way superior for the longevity of the strap than the standard one. You just have to get use to the metal beneath... it's a little different feeling than the regular buckle (you need more space for it).

Artem here looks really nice.

How strong is the RM style strap. I have one on the way but I am a bit worried about putting an expinsive watch on a spring loaded strap

Hey, Pete. What is the price of the clasps ? Great video as always. Greetings from Croatia.

The one with the screw seems a bit useless to me. You need to carry a screwdriver with you incase your wrist swells during the day

Omega-style is the only one I really "understand." What's the point of having a deployant where you still have to tuck the tail end in to the keeper? Seems like extra steps and hassle.

I think it would be helpful to see you wearing these with a watch. I'm thinking of buying a deployant clasp but I'm wondering if it's comfortable.

Very nice tend to find the cheaper ones pinch you as you close or feel uncomfortable, definitely something il look at as an alternative
