passant-26-2Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: a brown silicone keeper with an 18 mm inner width. Soft yet robust, it is pleasant to wear and keeps its hold on the strap. Brown is warm and classic, a natural match for brown or tan straps. Check that your strap measures 18 mm across at the keeper before choosing this size.
Brown is usually associated with leather, yet many rubber and silicone bands now come in chocolate or tobacco shades to give a sports watch a warmer, more classic feel. This brown silicone keeper is designed for exactly those bands, and it is also an option for anyone who wants a brown accent that will not be spoiled by water.
Unlike a leather keeper, silicone does not darken when it gets wet, does not crack with age and does not absorb sweat. That makes it a practical choice if your watch goes swimming, sailing or to the gym. It slips on by stretching over the end of the band and then holds the strap tip firmly in place.
Fitting is straightforward on bands measuring 18 mm wide. To confirm the size, measure across your strap where the keeper rests, near the buckle; this is the only figure that matters here.
Can I use this brown silicone keeper on a leather strap? It will fit an 18 mm leather band, but the texture differs; for a perfect match on leather, a leather keeper is the closer choice.
Does the brown loop get damaged by water? No, unlike leather it stays unchanged after rain, showers or swimming.
