Exclusive Ridge Rubber Watch Straps: Custom Mint, Coyote & Graphite

As watch enthusiasts, we know the struggle. You finally acquire that perfect timepiece—maybe a vintage field watch with aged lume or a modern diver with a unique dial hue—only to realize that standard strap colors just don't do it justice. We faced this exact problem with our own personal collection. We had watches with unique colorways that were impossible to match. 

So, we decided to solve it the only way we knew how: we designed them ourselves!

We are proud to highlight three specific colors in our Ridge Rubber Watch Straps collection. These aren't stock colors; these are totally custom hues developed by the team at BluShark Straps and are available exclusively here. You won't find these exact shades anywhere else.

The Ridge Rubber Standard: Premium FKM Quality

Before we dive into the colors, let’s talk about the platform. Our Ridge Rubber collection represents the gold standard in FKM rubber watch straps. Why chose FKM? because it offers the perfect balance of soft comfort and extreme durability.

Whether you are desk, diving, swimming, hiking, or cycling, these straps are built to handle sweat, UV exposure, and saltwater without degrading. The design features a unique raised ridge for an ergonomic fit, a comfortable curve, and a sleek 2mm taper from the case to the buckle.

Key Specs:

• Material: Premium FKM Rubber (Soft yet tough)
• Dimensions: 125mm x 74mm length
• Thickness: 4mm at the highest point, tapering down for comfort
• Hardware: Brushed or PVD Black Stainless Steel buckle with double floating keepers
• Ease of Use: Pre-installed Quick Release spring bars

1. Coyote FDE: The Military Standard

Standard beige often looks too washed out, and standard brown can look too dressy for tool watches. We developed our Coyote FDE Ridge Rubber strap to bridge that gap. Inspired by the "Flat Dark Earth" tones found on tactical military equipment, this custom color is aggressive yet refined.

Why we made it: This is the ultimate strap for vintage enthusiasts and those who love that classic Military coyote beige color. The Coyote FDE tone is a phenomenal match for "fauxtina" or genuine aged patina lume markers, making it the perfect companion for field watches and retro divers.

2. Graphite: The Perfect "In-Between"

Sometimes black is too harsh, but standard grey is too light. We found ourselves staring at watches that sat in a monochromatic middle ground, needing a strap that was dark and moody without being a void of color. Enter the Graphite Ridge Rubber strap.

Why we made it: This custom Graphite shade serves as the perfect intermediate. It provides a sleek, modern look that complements titanium cases, sunburst grey dials, and ceramic bezels where a stark black strap would feel boring.

3. Mint: The Lume Match

This was perhaps our biggest challenge. We have many watches in our collection where the Super-LumiNova has that distinct, pale green hue, even in daylight. We searched everywhere for a strap to match that specific color and came up empty-handed. So, we mixed it ourselves.

Why we made it: The Mint Ridge Rubber strap is inspired directly by watch lume. It’s a fun, vibrant, summer-ready color that makes the indices on your dial pop. If you want to coordinate your strap with your lume, this is the only strap on the market designed specifically for that purpose.
