26 mm watch strap loop in light green silicone, stretchy
This light green silicone keeper is sized for 26 mm watch straps, with an inner width that matches the strap itself.…
passant-26-1Has the keeper on your 16 mm strap snapped? This clear silicone replacement restores a tidy finish. A clear loop is the safe choice when you cannot find an exact colour match. Fitting it is easy: simply stretch it a little and slide the strap through. It is meant for straps exactly 16 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits.
A clear keeper is the chameleon of the range. Because you can see through it, it takes on the colour of the strap beneath, which makes it useful on unusual shades that are hard to match: mint, lilac, turquoise, two-tone or patterned straps. It is also popular on transparent resin watches, where any coloured loop would break the effect.
This loop is for straps 16 mm wide. Measure the strap rather than the case, with a ruler laid across the band near the buckle. The reading should be 16 mm for a snug fit.
The material is flexible silicone. You fit it by stretching it gently over the end of the strap and pushing it towards the buckle, and it keeps the tail in place from then on. Water, sweat and swimming do not affect it. Transparent silicone can show dust or a slight haze over time; a wash with soapy water restores clarity, and a spare is useful if you like it spotless.
It is a sensible pick when you own a multicoloured strap or simply cannot decide which colour to choose.
Will a clear keeper match any colour of 16 mm strap? It lets the strap colour show through, so it blends with almost any shade, though it gives a slightly glossy look.
Does transparent silicone turn yellow? Clear silicone can tint slightly with age and exposure; regular cleaning slows this, and replacing it is easy.
