Best Rubber Straps for the Blancpain x Swatch Green Abyss
The Blancpain x Swatch Green Abyss landed with more buzz than we’ve seen since the original Fifty Fathoms Range. A bold dial. 91-hour power reserve. Bio-ceramic case. And yes, a seriously green aesthetic that’s already dividing opinion and driving demand.
But let’s be honest... the supplied strap is never the final word.

Why Collectors Love the Green Abyss
The Blancpain x Swatch Green Abyss is one of the most striking models from the collaboration, combining dive-watch heritage with playful modern design. Inspired by the deep ocean tones of the original Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, it brings the same sense of adventure in a lightweight bioceramic form.
Collectors are drawn to the Green Abyss because it feels substantial but wearable — sporty enough for everyday use, and bold enough to turn heads. Pairing it with the right strap elevates that character even further.
Whether you’re a seasoned Fifty Fathoms fan or new to the Swatch collaboration world, a well chosen rubber strap can transform how this watch wears, and how you wear it.
Why Upgrade to FKM Rubber?
The original Swatch strap looks great but struggles with long-term wear, especially around salt water and heat.
An FKM rubber strap offers:
- A premium feel with more flexibility and comfort.
- Full water and sweat resistance, ideal for daily wear or travel.
- A textured sailcloth-style finish that keeps the refined Blancpain aesthetic.
- Long-term durability that handles UV light, heat, and water exposure without fading.
Our FKM rubber straps are precision-fit to the Green Abyss lugs, matching the design and proportions perfectly.
At MGBWATCHES.COM, we’ve put together a range of premium rubber straps specifically curated to match the Green Abyss. All are fully waterproof, made for active wear, and designed to enhance the watch without overpowering its colour.
Why Switch the Strap?
- Comfort: Many collectors find the stock straps stiff or sweat prone after extended wear. Our rubber straps offer all day comfort and a more balanced fit.
- Colour Control: The green tone of the Abyss deserves nuance. A well-chosen black, olive, or contrast-colour strap makes the watch pop without clashing.
- Versatility: Make the Green Abyss your own. Whether you're dressing it down for daily wear or suiting up for something smarter, a new strap expands the watch’s style.

How to Change the Strap on Your Swatch x Blancpain
How It Performs in Water
The Green Abyss draws inspiration from ocean exploration, so it makes sense to pair it with a strap that can actually handle the elements. Unlike the stock bioceramic buckle and synthetic strap, FKM rubber stays soft, dries instantly, and resists both salt and chlorine. Whether you’re swimming, travelling, or just caught in the rain, it performs flawlessly without trapping odour or moisture.
If you collect more than one Blancpain x Swatch, you can match straps across the line:
- Ocean of Storms – sleek black FKM for a monochrome look.
- Antarctic Ocean – light grey or white for contrast.
- Arctic Ocean – orange or sand tone for a warmer feel.
