20 mm watch strap loop in pink silicone, stretchy
Lost the little loop that holds the end of your strap? This pink silicone watch strap loop fits straps 20 mm wide and…
passant-20-2Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: a sky blue silicone keeper with a 12 mm inner width. Sky blue is light and airy, a good match for pastel blue or white straps. It is meant for straps exactly 12 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits. It feels soft against the skin and does not mind water, so it can stay on for swimming, showers and workouts.
Pastel watches have a light-hearted charm, and sky blue sits right at the centre of that palette. Picture a soft blue jelly strap, a white case with candy-coloured hands, or a child's first analogue watch. This keeper keeps the tail of such a band in place while staying in the same airy register.
A keeper spends its life being slid back and forth, bent at the buckle and soaked in hand-washing water. Silicone handles all of that. It stretches slightly as you thread the band through, then closes back snugly so the end no longer sticks out. It is pleasant against the skin and needs nothing more than soapy water to clean.
This particular loop is made for bands 12 mm wide. To be sure yours matches, measure the strap itself at the spot where the old loop used to sit, a little way from the buckle. Small watches for women and children frequently use this width.
Many people order one when the original has snapped, but it is just as sensible to keep a spare in a drawer, since such small parts tend to vanish on holiday.
Is sky blue the same as the plain blue keeper? No, it is noticeably paler, closer to a baby blue, so it suits pastel straps better.
Will it suit a white strap? Yes; pale blue on white gives a fresh, nautical contrast.
