Sky blue silicone watch strap loop for 19 mm straps
Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: a sky blue silicone keeper with a 19 mm inner width. Sky blue is light and…
passant-19-1Has the keeper on your 18 mm strap snapped? This pale pink silicone replacement restores a tidy finish. Measure the strap across, near the lugs or at the old keeper, and pick the same figure, here 18 mm. A quick wash in soapy water is all it needs to stay clean. The pale pink shade suits a light, feminine strap or adds a gentle touch to white.
Pale pink, sometimes described as blush, is gentle and refined. It pairs beautifully with rose-gold coloured cases, mother-of-pearl effect dials and light pink straps, giving an elegant finish. Because it is so soft, it also works as a subtle accent on a white or cream band without looking loud.
Silicone is pleasant against the skin and does not mind daily contact with water, lotion or perspiration. Light colours do show marks more readily, so a gentle wash with mild soap now and then keeps this keeper looking fresh. Avoid leaving it in contact with dark dyed fabrics when wet.
The loop has enough elasticity to go over the band tip easily and then grips the strap to keep it flat. That is worth having when a worn keeper has left the end of the band sticking up.
It is sized for straps with an 18 mm width. Measure your band with a ruler at the keeper's position, close to the clasp. Watch straps are not always the same width all the way along, so measure at that point specifically.
Does pale pink go with a rose-gold watch? Yes, the soft pink tone complements rose-gold and copper-coloured cases.
How do I stop a pale pink keeper from staining? Wash it regularly with soapy water and keep it away from dyed fabrics while damp.
