Olaaf is a new watch strap brand from France, which goes all out by offering its customers innovative and cool straps that compliment their watches and enhance their watch wearing experience.
We got the chance to meet Olaaf founders Jeremy and Antoine and to check out their unisex straps.
From featuring a special layer that makes them comfortable in heat to being hypoallergenic, the Olaaf watch straps have many characteristics we like. Here they are:
They are stylish. Olaaf’s straps are the only interchangeable wristwatches straps that feature a patented double-point clasp. The design is not just easy to use, but also very stylish and can even double as just a bracelet. On their website, you can customize your own strap by choosing from a variety of options in terms of colors and details. They come in various widths and their colors are soft, but vibrant.
They are versatile. While the Olaaf straps have a sporty feel due to the fact that they are made from rubber, they are also quite versatile. The black or dark blue straps are of course neutral (in fashion, neutral colors are those colors that go with any other color), which means that they can be worn not just with any clothes, but they can also be attached to pretty much any watch too. The other options, the teal, the green and the orange straps are more particular and are great for those who want to mix and match them with their watches. For example, if you have a watch that features orange, you can go for the orange strap, or you can opt for the teal one for a complementary color combination, which is based on contrasting colors and is very dynamic and youthful.
Moreover, the fact that the straps are interchangeable allows you to switch between them and have a completely different aesthetic. For example, a green strap can give your watch a more military, sporty vibe, while a black is more business-appropriate.
They are hypoallergenic. One of the main traits of the Olaaf straps is that they are made from an innovative hypoallergenic medical rubber. This means that they just the right thing for those who can’t wear watches (or bracelets) because of their allergies.
They are light and comfortable. The Olaaf watch straps are some of the most comfortable you’ll ever wear (and we don’t throw that kind of appreciation easily). To do this, the founders made them not only from very light but durable rubber, but they also covered them with a soft touch coating that makes them have a “peach skin feel”, which prevents the bracelets from sticking to the wearer’s skin. This is a feature that is particularly great for people who live in very hot climates or who tend to get easily hot, sweaty or simply uncomfortable.
They smell great. One of the main particularities of the Olaaf straps is that they have a subtle perfume embedded in them, which adds an extra layer to the whole wearing experience. When you order your strap, you can also order and extra FiiLiT Box that you can use as a regular perfume. This can bring a refined sense of cohesion in your overall style.
They are a good deal. Given all the many great traits these straps have, they are quite affordable, at about 55 EUR / 61 USD (for just the strap).
To conclude, it can be said that the Olaaf watch straps can make a great addition to any watch wearer’s collection and can also make for great gifts, as they smell good, are comfortable, are hypoallergenic and have a great design. They are available in boutiques across France and Switzerland, but can also be ordered online.
Wearing a comfortable watch strap can change your watch wearing experience drastically – comfort is key not just when choosing your clothes, but when picking your accessories as well, which is why investing in a great watch strap is something we advise people to do.
