Well, this watch is certainly up to the task...
..whatever the task may be.
However, I would not consider it a tough life for me. On the contrary, this is my retirement from a stress-filled past life in the city. ;^)
I get your meaning though, I think.
re: "Disinfectible and NOT Indestructible"
Agreed. although I question the disinfectable nature of the new strap design with the stud impregnated rather than pressed through from behind (and thus removable). I wonder about the pocket that creates.

New silicone strap for PuristS ABR watch
Dear Forumners, After a meticulous R&D process, St Gallen Watch has a new improved version of the medical silicone strap for the Disinfectible range. Our PuristS All-Black Rescue watch is part of the Disinfectible range and originally came with a three-pi...
Interesting locking system. And good news for orange fans!
Yes, I think we have a few here! Best, Nicolas
Great news, MTF!
The original straps were a bit clumsy to put on, to say the least and now it is on Nato strap. This one is way cool and looks much easier to put. Thanks for the news! Ken
There are "bars" for the leather strap which came with ABR..
... and using that as the spring bars for other watches. Nato may be a bit thick, but it is doable. Ken
To further clarify, the "bars" only come with the leather strap
They don't come with the ABR itself. Cheers, Anthony
Interesting...
I'll order a leather strap with bars as well then as soon as I get a reply from them. Thanks for the clarification AT :-), Hope all else is well. S
Very Cool :-)
I like these new straps, I've emailed Alfred, look forward to a reply. S
Ahh..that looks alot more comfortable and brilliant design...
Hi Melvyn, Thanks for sharing! And how can one acquire the strap? I will spread this good news to local purists... Regards Jacky
UPDATE: Costs and Sizes
Silicone Strap System II comes in 4 colours: Transparent, Matt Black, Matt Grey and Orange. Cost is USD 30 but shipping costs vary. Unfortunately, the shipping cost starts at $30 for SpeedPost. We are NOT going to get involved but if a group of PuristS pr...
Thanks

Screw bars needed only for leather straps
Just to be clear for new readers: the silicone straps do not need screw bars. MTF
Correct
Which seems obvious from your great photos of the silicone strap installed, but maybe only to someone with the watch. Worth mentioning though, in case anyone is thinking of making an order, to include the screw bars for more strap options. Here are some p...
I'm in
If we're going to do a group order, I'll go in for two (black and orange). Just let me know. Greg
I'm in - perhaps a mass shipment to SoCal would be warranted?
Cheers & contact by PM Cazalea
Great post MTF! The orange looks nice.
Only $30?? I would think owners of the watch will order in several colors. What a great deal.
Nice re-design on the strap
Thanks for the info MTF. Looks more comfortable than the original buckle style. But wish they offered it in PuristS Red and short strap too. Regards, ED-209
PuristS Red strap not economical to produce
Since the PuristS Red was a limited edition of 178 pieces, it is not commercially viable to make a small batch just for PuristS. Strictly speaking, they could produce Strap System II in any colour (including Red) because the exclusivity applied to the ori...
A quick review of the original soft rubber strap, or: "Why I will try the new strap."
I thought that I would contribute to this thread seeing as I have been wearing this watch as my daily beater for the last couple of years, since they were originally offered. Splitting and stacking wood, hunting, working on the tractor, swimming, salt wat...
Wow......a tough life for PuristS ABR watch AND you
xtype, Thanks for the owner's review and I mean l-o-n-g term review with no holds barred. Most of us only prance around with our shiny PuristS ABR watches changing the straps for effect but your hard usage gives us real world experience. My All-Black Resc...

Great to see ...
... this hard use and variety of straps. Mine sits on galluchat and is a little more formal, and it wears well, but it hasn't seen the use you have out it to. The PVD coating is essential for this sort of use and it's great to see. Appreciate the photos. ...
far better that the original strap system
mine is on black steel mesh, but i may be tempted to go for the orange. best Graham ...
Strap System I ( original) torn.. Cannot reach St Gallen.. Any help appreciated !
Hello everybody ! Dear MTF ! Since shortly I am an owner of the PPro ABR watch, but struggling with the original strap system and its durability Already at the first attempt to mount the watch to the black rubber strap, the strap was 3/4 torn at one of th...
Melvyn, this is a much better designed strap.
My only concern is about its durability. Having said that, I will certainly get two - one for spare, considering the cost is only 10% of croco strap. Regards Ling
