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-12-12This 16 mm watch strap loop in brown silicone keeps the tail of your strap flat against the band once the buckle is fastened. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 16 mm. The silicone stretches slightly, so you can ease it over the strap without tools or any watchmaking know-how. The brown shade sits well on earthy-toned and vintage-style bands.
Brown is a classic strap colour, and a matching keeper keeps it looking whole. This brown silicone loop fits 16 mm bands, so it suits brown rubber straps, chocolate-toned sports watches and casual pieces with warm, vintage-style dials. It also works with tan or cognac straps where a black keeper would look too harsh.
What sets it apart from a leather keeper is behaviour. Leather dislikes long soaks; silicone does not care. Wear it in the rain, the shower or the pool and it comes out unchanged. A wash in soapy water is all the care it needs.
The 16 mm measurement refers to the strap, not the watch. Lay a ruler across your band near the buckle and read the width. Watches for smaller wrists frequently use 16 mm, though men's dress pieces sometimes do too. If the reading matches, this loop will sit snugly without sliding.
Fitting is done by hand. Stretch the ring slightly and pass it over the strap end, then nudge it up into position. The tail will stay flat once the buckle is fastened.
Can I put this brown loop on a 16 mm leather strap? Yes, it will fit, and it has the advantage of not marking with water; it simply looks a little sportier than a leather keeper.
Which shade of brown is it? A mid to dark brown that sits well with chocolate and tan straps alike.
