Silicone watch strap keeper, coral, for 26 mm straps
Lost the little loop that holds the end of your strap? This coral silicone watch strap loop fits straps 26 mm wide and…
passant-26-13Keep your strap end under control with this sky blue silicone keeper, made for 16 mm watch bands. Measure the strap across, near the lugs or at the old keeper, and pick the same figure, here 16 mm. A quick wash in soapy water is all it needs to stay clean. Sky blue is light and airy, a good match for pastel blue or white straps.
Sky blue is the gentlest of the blues: pale, cheerful and quite forgiving next to white or silver. It is a natural companion for pastel rubber straps, baby blue resin watches and the kind of light summer piece you wear by the pool. Placed on a navy strap it creates a two-tone effect, a soft highlight at the buckle end.
The loop is cut for bands measuring 16 mm across. That size appears on plenty of women's watches and on children's models, but the only reliable test is your own strap. Measure across the band where the old keeper used to sit; if your ruler shows 16 mm, you are in the right place.
Why replace a keeper at all? Without one, the tail of the strap lifts and catches on sleeves, bag straps and seatbelts. A silicone loop solves that and asks almost nothing in return. It is stretched gently over the strap end, sits snugly, and shrugs off splashes, sweat and hand washing.
Is sky blue very different from the regular blue? Yes, it is noticeably paler and softer. Choose sky blue for pastel straps and the standard blue for brighter, more saturated bands.
How should I clean it? A drop of washing-up liquid in lukewarm water, a quick rub with your fingers, then a rinse. Avoid solvents, which can dull the surface.
