Dive With Style: Rubber B for Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA

Dive With Style: Rubber B for Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA

The first things that come to mind when thinking about ‘luxury style’ are celebrities, A-listers, gold, diamonds, shiny new items, and the list goes on. If observed, style is associated with a particular class of people and a specific material used to make the products look luxurious and glamorous. The association of luxury style with celebrities and famous personalities is so strong that people’s minds fail to accept someone from a different profession adapting to this trend. This behavior can create a slight discord and a sense of superiority among the A-listers and others. But people are not the only ones to be blamed. The brands are at fault too.

Dive With Style: Rubber B for Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA

Not many brands make jewelry or fashion statement pieces with regular and sustainable material, which is why people have become judgmental and intolerant. Many fashionistas and fashion gurus view it as a disrespect to fashion when brands do not follow the quality standards. But Rubber B, a Swiss rubber brand, has taken a bold decision by breaking the stereotypes of luxury jewelry items.

Rubber B’s of launch the ‘Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller’ with rubber straps helped the company acquire much attention. It is a prominent manufacturing high-end and premium quality rubber that perfectly blends well with any luxury item. By integrating with some of the best watches in the Swiss luxury horology industry such as Panerai, Rolex, Apple, IWC, Breitling, and Tudor, Rubber B has set aside the claims for the materials used for luxury items.

A Watch for the Deep-Sea Divers

Founded by a group of entrepreneurs who specialized in the manufacturing of high-end jewelry and watches in 2010, Rubber B is a brand that has been in the good books of many high-end watch brands because of its top-quality rubber.

The Rubber B sources its superior quality rubber watch straps from its factories in Switzerland. The straps by this company are one of their kind and are the only rubber straps that are made from materials that are 100% sourced from Switzerland by the best manufacturers in the Haute Horology Industry.

Rubber B has some of the best and skilled manufacturers and cutting-edge technology that create these straps with ‘Vulcanized Rubber,’ which is a high-density composite. The vulcanization of the rubber prevents it from overstretching to the point of failure. It also saves it from being damaged by certain external environmental factors such as the Ozone, UV rays, and exposure to the salty and wet environment of the oceans.

The vulcanized rubber used by the Swiss-based company is durable and pure. Its manufacturing process does not involve activities such as treatments, coatings, and silicone blends. Rubber B’s ‘Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller’ watch is made specifically for divers and deep-sea divers. With its top-quality rubber, the watch turns out to be flexible and durable against tearing.

Another factor that sets the DeepSea Sea-Dweller apart from the other luxurious watches is the strap end’s grip on the Rolex watch head. The Rubber B straps’ lips fit perfectly on the underside of the watch, which keeps it intact and does not let it spin around.

The Deepsea watch was designed by keeping the deep-sea divers in mind. The CEO of Rubber B, Arnaud Benjamin, came up with the idea to revolutionize Rolex and add a sense of style and luxury to the diving activity. He aimed to provide a luxurious style statement to the divers by ensuring that the harsh waters of the salty seas did not affect the quality and material of the watch, which could not be achieved with Rolex’s classic leather-strapped Daytona.

The watch’s flattering look and the chic yet classy designs have made Rubber B’s Deepsea Sea-Dweller strap crowd’s favorite in no time. One of the best features of the Rubber B strap with the Deepsea watch is that it perfectly fits each diver’s wrist and can also use the Rolex watch’s original clasp for a perfect OEM look and feel.

With the unique luxurious rubber strap design, Rubber B’s DeepSea Sea-Dweller is an excellent alternative for those who dislike wearing bracelets and leather watches. Not only has Rubber B broken the stereotypes and made rubber luxury material, but it also has successfully managed to modernize the classic look of Rolex watches.

How Rolex 24 victory helped Ryan Dalziel leave self-doubt in the rear-view mirror

Perhaps no better venue exists for the continuation of Ryan Dalziel’s racing renaissance than Sebring International Raceway.

His wife, Jessica, is from Sebring. His father-in-law has attended races at the track for decades. He married into a Sebring family, people who know all the race winners and all the crazy infield stories. People who know people who know where the burned couches are buried.

After his first race at the track in 2005, Dalziel stepped out onto a balcony at what was then called the Chateau Elan (now the Seven Sebring Raceway Hotel) and gazed at the aftermath in the infield. “It was like World War III had happened,” he said with a laugh. “It’s calmed down a lot since then.”

In essence, that’s why the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Presented by Advance Auto Parts on Saturday is the fitting race for Dalziel to press forward with a comeback that began victoriously in January at the Rolex 24 At Daytona.

He never really went anywhere, mind you, but the past few years weren’t up to Dalziel’s standards. He raced just twice in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2020 and six times in 2019 — all for Starworks Motorsport — after a five-year run with Tequila Patrón Extreme Speed Motorsports ended in 2018.

Not surprisingly, that’s when the self-doubt surfaced.

“I’ve been vocal with this at times,” Dalziel said. “I wouldn’t have hired me during a couple of those seasons.”

He found his way back in January with an emotional victory for Era Motorsport in the LMP2 class at Daytona. He teamed with Kyle Tilley, Paul-Loup Chatin and Dwight Merriman for a triumph that couldn’t have been more timely or necessary.

“I’ve won Daytona twice now, and both times it’s been equally special but also personally very much needed,” Dalziel said. “When I won it in 2010, I was unemployed. That was a one-off race for me. It led to a full-season program with another team after that and a second-place finish in the championship that year.”

In 2018, Dalziel, an established, multi-faceted racer with a résumé that included the 2012 LMP2 win with Starworks in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, found himself scrambling to find work. He landed a part-time gig in the GT GTD class with Starworks, but he also began to feel uncertain.

“By no means do I think I’m old in the racing world,” said Dalziel, a 38-year-old native of Glasgow, Scotland. “But when you go through droughts, it’s pretty easy to doubt yourself. On the IMSA side, for sure, it’s been a tough few years for me since the Patrón deal ended, just trying to find some security and continuity.”

He found it with Era Motorsport, the Indianapolis-based team founded and operated by Tilley. The group brought its ORECA LMP2 07 to Daytona, qualified seventh in class, then chased down six competitors over 24 hours. The win hit the refresh button on Dalziel’s career.

“It was just a very good, very needed, very well-timed result,” Dalziel said. “It was more of a personal one. Kyle put a lot of hard work into the program, and everybody needed that one. It was definitely pretty special for all of us. But selfishly, it gave me that fire in the belly for endurance racing that I was missing the last couple of years. It definitely reignited all of those feelings about the reason I do this.”

His renewal now turns to Sebring with confidence gained from a team with which he feels comfortable — and successful.

“You always swagger a little bit more going into the next one after winning,” Dalziel said. “It’s one of those teams that has so many good ingredients. That doesn’t mean to say that it always works for other teams like that, but to me it was pretty evident very early on that it did work with this team.”

The site of 15 years of racing memories and volumes of wacky stories is the proper place to bury the doubts and celebrate the renewal. Sebring, welcome a member of your family. He’s back in more ways than one.

“I don’t care what athlete you are or what person you are, it’s impossible to say you don’t start having self-doubts, and I definitely had them,” Dalziel said. “I just kept plugging away. I kept thinking, ‘It’s going to change. It’s going to change.’ And then it did change. It was perseverance.”
