They have partnered with Mestel, HEPIA (Geneva University of applied sciences - technology, architecture and landscape) and Agie Charmilles (part of Georg Fischer Machining Solutions) to create a brand new type of strap.
Made out of 100% rubber, the newly developed strap technology replicates the actual surface of alligator skin down to the tiniest detail, while offering complete water-proofness.
A special 3D scan was developed together with HEPIA that was capable of actually illustrate the look of alligator skin – and Agie Charmillles contributed with latest technological laser machines that could then reproduce the texture on this new kind of material and rubber strap.
Fitted with a folding clasp, the Rubbergator is the perfect choice for teaming with the AQUASCOPE with its polished and vertically satin-finished Stainless steel case, its circular satin-finished blue eloxed aluminum bezel, JR60 automatic movement and water-resistance to 300m; Aquascope owners are advised to snap one up for the summer!
