passant-26-11This 12 mm watch strap loop in dark red silicone keeps the tail of your strap flat against the band once the buckle is fastened. The 12 mm figure is the inner width of the loop, which should match the width of your strap. Waterproof and hard-wearing, it copes happily with sport and everyday wear. Dark red has a deep, burgundy-like tone that suits both casual and dressier straps.
Dark red brings depth rather than flash. Close to burgundy or wine, it suits watches with gold cases, cream dials or brown accents, and it gives a refined finish to a matching dark red silicone band. It also adds a warm note to a black strap without the loud effect of bright red.
The keeper is cut from soft silicone. It stretches just enough to slip over the band, then holds tight so the strap tail stays tidy. It is unaffected by water and sweat, so you can keep it on in the shower or at the gym. Wash it occasionally with mild soapy water.
Before ordering, check the width of your strap. This keeper is made for 12 mm bands, a size found mostly on women's and compact watches. Measure the band near the buckle with a ruler; the reading should be exactly 12 mm.
A keeper that has torn or loosened lets the band end lift and catch on clothes. Swapping it for a fresh dark red loop brings back a neat, finished look.
How does dark red differ from the red keeper? It is deeper and more muted, closer to burgundy, whereas the red is bright.
