I love simplicity. The Corvus Rubber RAF strap is a simple, straight forward, no nonsense, comfortable strap.

Made in Italy by Bonetto, it's a one piece smooth, soft, pliable rubber strap and has the light sent of vanilla.

A perfect match for summer with the Marathon SAR.
Ordering was just as simple and straight forward with amazingly fast delivery.

Dan:

Looks great. I have been trying a leather Nato, but they are not waterproof and a bit hard to untuck the end if they get damp. The rubber looks like a good solution.

I checked it out on the web site and there was some mention about the length was for a 7 1/4" wrist. I am worried that it might be a bit short for me. How do you measure your wrist size? On my modern Rolex Turn-O-Graph, I wear the Oyster at full size and when it gets hot I may open up the half link.

I might just have to get out a tape and measure my wrist or the Oyster size to see what I need.

Robert,
My wrist is about 7.5" and I use the second to the last hole available. Works perfect because there's not too much extra strap to tuck under the keeper.
Really, really comfortable and "gives" where needed when bending the wrist.

Gonna take it on the road next week for a real life test.

Dan, that looks fantastic.

I wonder if you could cut slits in it where it needed to fit around the springbars. I'd like to know how it breaks in, please keep us posted.

Thanks.

Not sure about cutting any slits as it's rather thin but not too thin to handle the SAR. Also, I doubt any break in period is required as it's feels good to go as is. I'll certainly update when I have a chance for a real world test drive.
