12 mm watch strap loop in grey silicone, stretchy
Lost the little loop that holds the end of your strap? This grey silicone watch strap loop fits straps 12 mm wide and…
passant-12-12Designed for straps 14 mm wide, this yellow watch strap loop is cut from flexible silicone. The yellow shade gives a sports or children's watch a sunny accent. The silicone stretches slightly, so you can ease it over the strap without tools or any watchmaking know-how. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 14 mm.
Yellow is impossible to miss. It is the colour of sports timers, lifeguard watches and children's first wristwatches, and once a yellow strap loses its loop, any other colour stands out awkwardly. This ring restores the full yellow look on bands that measure 14 mm.
It is equally useful as a deliberate contrast: on a black or navy strap a yellow keeper becomes a small flash of colour that echoes a yellow seconds hand or dial marker. That trick is popular on sporty watches where a single accent colour runs through the design.
Soft silicone lets the ring stretch slightly while you push it over the strap end, then close back around the band. It tolerates water, chlorine and sweat, so swimming and training sessions are fine. Light colours show dirt sooner than dark ones; a short wash in soapy water brings the yellow back.
Spare keepers are handy to have, as they are among the first parts of a strap to tear. Keep one in a drawer and you will not be left with a flapping strap end.
Where exactly do I measure to check the 14 mm size? Across the strap, just under the buckle at the place the keeper occupies, with a ruler graduated in millimetres.
Is yellow a good choice for a child's watch? Yes. It is cheerful, easy to spot if it falls off, and the silicone is gentle on young skin.
