The other day while falling down the usual Instagram rabbit hole I stumbled across a post that caught my eye. It was from a company called Clockwork Republic, and they've just announced something that I know a lot of Tudor Black Bay 58 owners have been waiting for: a high-quality, fitted rubber strap with solid metal endlinks.

This looks like a really nice solution, so I had to spread the word. Here is the official news I managed to find.
Clockwork Republic has announced the launch of its new "End Link Rubber Strap" and has opened pre-orders for the product. The strap is specifically designed for the Tudor Black Bay 58 line of watches.
This is a pretty cool announcement, because there are not many rubber strap options for this Tudor collection, particularly those that include solid metal endlinks to eliminate the gap between the strap and the watch case. The strap is made from premium FKM (fluoroelastomer) rubber. The custom-fitted end links are machined from corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel to match the Black Bay 58's case.
The company has specified that the strap is designed to fit the standard Tudor Black Bay 58 models. It is not compatible with the Black Bay 58 GMT or the Burgundy model from 2025.
The product is currently available for pre-order only, with deliveries scheduled to begin on October 20th, 2025. Each package includes one pair of steel end links, one pair of FKM rubber straps, and a pair of 1.8 mm spring bars.

This is just an awesome initiative by a small brand. I absolutely love these kinds of innovations because they show a smart company that is paying attention. They see a gap in the market and create something that enthusiasts actually need and have been asking for.
