16 mm watch strap loop in yellow silicone, stretchy
Lost the little loop that holds the end of your strap? This yellow silicone watch strap loop fits straps 16 mm wide…
passant-16-15Made from soft silicone in grey, this loop is designed for watch straps measuring 16 mm across. Grey keeps things sober and discreet, a sensible choice for everyday wear. It is meant for straps exactly 16 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.
Grey is the safe bet for anyone who owns several watches or straps. It falls between black and white, so it does not jar on either, and it pairs naturally with steel cases, gunmetal dials and grey or anthracite rubber bands. On a 16 mm field watch or a minimalist everyday piece, a grey keeper barely draws the eye, which is exactly the point.
It is also a sensible spare. If you are not sure which colour your next strap will be, a grey loop will look reasonable on most of them.
The keeper takes straps that measure 16 mm across. Do not go by the case diameter; measure the band itself, ideally next to the buckle where the strap is often narrowest. The loop then goes on by stretching it lightly over the free end and sliding it into place. Silicone is supple enough to do this by hand and grips firmly afterwards.
Daily wear is not a problem. The material ignores sweat and water and can be cleaned with a little soap. It replaces a keeper that has torn, gone slack or been lost, and brings back a tidy strap end.
Will grey suit a black 16 mm rubber strap? Yes, it gives a subtle two-tone effect. If you want it invisible, pick the black version instead.
Can I wear it on a 16 mm nylon or fabric band? It will fit any band of that width, though silicone keepers are most common on rubber and silicone straps.
