Red silicone watch strap loop for 26 mm straps
Give a 26 mm silicone or rubber strap a fresh keeper with this loop in red. Red brings a lively touch to a sports…
passant-26-20Lost the little loop that holds the end of your strap? This yellow silicone watch strap loop fits straps 17 mm wide and slips into place in seconds. The 17 mm figure is the inner width of the loop, which should match the width of your strap. Waterproof and hard-wearing, it copes happily with sport and everyday wear. Bright yellow matches a yellow strap or stands out against black and navy.
Yellow is cheerful, visible and very sporty. A yellow keeper livens up a black or navy strap, matches yellow rubber bands and echoes bright accents on diver or chronograph dials. On a 17 mm strap, it gives a fresh, energetic look while doing the practical job of holding the tail in place.
Straps of 17 mm are an in-between size. Before you order, measure across your band close to the buckle using a ruler in millimetres; that figure, not the case size, decides which keeper fits.
Silicone is flexible and slightly elastic. You can stretch the yellow ring over the strap end and slide it into position in moments, and it holds by gripping the band. It is unaffected by water and sweat, so it suits training, swimming and outdoor days. A wash with soapy water removes dirt and keeps the colour bright.
The usual trigger for buying one is a keeper that tore or disappeared. Some people also enjoy swapping colours to change the look of a watch without buying a new strap.
Will yellow fade quickly? Coloured silicone holds its shade well in normal wear; avoid harsh solvents and long hours in direct sun to keep it vivid.
Does yellow suit a grey strap? Yes, grey and yellow make a modern, sporty pairing.
