Apple Watch Ultra owners: how to make it look like a £5,000 watch

The Ultra is built for adventure, but most of us wear it to the office, to dinner and at the weekend. Five straps that dress it up without losing what makes it great.

Titanium on titanium: The Presidential

Your Ultra's case is titanium, so match it. The Presidential is aerospace-grade titanium finished to the standard of a Swiss dress watch, and it turns expedition kit into something you'd wear with a suit.

One owner calls it the strap you wear when you need to take things up a notch.

Classic leather: The Heritage

Nothing softens the Ultra's big, technical case like smooth full-grain leather. The Heritage is gently padded at the centre, hand-finished at the edges and stitched in a fine tonal thread.

One owner says it belongs on a watch twenty times the price.

The Ridgeback Alligator-Grain Leather Apple Watch Strap

A dress strap for an active life: The Ridgeback

An embossed alligator-grain leather upper over a technical natural rubber lining: the look of a dress strap with the durability of a performance piece.

One owner who prefers leather but leads an active life says it delivers on both fronts.

The Aurelius Japanese FKM Rubber Apple Watch Strap

The sport strap that dresses up: The Aurelius

Premium Japanese FKM rubber with a breathable hexagonal underside and a square-textured upper that catches the light, so the Ultra still looks considered when you've just stepped off the boat.

Owners rate it 4.92. One calls it a true hybrid strap.

The Helm sailcloth strap fitted to an Apple Watch Ultra with matching adapters

Weekends on the water: The Helm

Cut from sailcloth, a technical fabric engineered for high-performance sailing, with contrast stitching and polished silver hardware.

It suits the Ultra's adventurous side, and it's still smart enough for the pub afterwards.

Questions

Before you choose

The things owners ask us most before they order.

Ask us anything
How does the Black Friday offer work?

Add any two straps to your bag and the lower-priced one is 50% off automatically at checkout. No code needed.

It works on any combination, so you can pair rubber with leather or sailcloth. It's a limited-time offer, so it won't be here for long.

Will it fit my Apple Watch?

Yes. Our straps fit every Apple Watch model, so you only need to choose your size when ordering. You'll find it printed on the back of your watch, around the sensor (for example 42mm).

Series 10, 11 and 12 have their own 42mm and 46mm options, so pick those if that's your watch.

Silver or black adapters?

Match them to your case finish: silver for silver and starlight cases, black for midnight and space black.

What if it isn't right?

If you're not happy, neither are we. Send your strap back unworn and in its original packaging within 15 days of receiving it, and we'll refund you to your original payment method.

To start a return, email info@thebridgewatches.com.

Quiet luxury for the modern wrist.
