I have only Artem straps and decided to give Northstar a try for the affordability aspect and I just received my grey Northstar sailcloth strap with loopless buckle and there is ZERO difference between this and my higher priced Artem straps. The buckle has no markings on the outside and just Northstar engraved on the inside of the buckle. There was no upcharge for the quick release spring bars and it's the perfect strap for my Sinn 556 tool watch. Don't hesitate to order one if you are looking at Artem. They aren't the only high quality sailcloth strap provider on the market. Honorable mention to Dassari, even though I haven't tried them personally.
Nice straps. I am a big fan of Hirsch. They are known for their caoutchouc. Pity North Star doesn't have quick release pins. That's a deal breaker for me.
Doesn't make a sense to push into the sailcloth strap game without making a 23mm given the Fifty Fathoms is the watch most famously worn with one and the standard of excellence folks like Artem compare to

Thanks for sharing! And the 556 is such a great watch!
Looks good! Love the beige one on that pilot's watch.
Quick release spring bars are coming soon..
I'll wait for the quick release spring bars!
Great video thank you so much! 😮
Wish you would’ve paired with the seamaster
Sorry, no seamaster in my current collection.
Need them in shorter sizes. I have the same wrist size as yours and that sticking out tail would drive me nuts 😢
You could just move the adjustable keeper more. 🤷♂️

Yes but how many people own the fifty fathoms ? If they make 23mm ones sell lot lot less than 20mm
How's the padding compared to artem?
The padding is similar to Artem’s sailcloth.
shame nobody makes it as good/puffy as breitling do... but maybe it's just me
