Silicone watch strap keeper, navy blue, for 16 mm straps
Lost the little loop that holds the end of your strap? This navy blue silicone watch strap loop fits straps 16 mm wide…
passant-16-8Designed for straps 19 mm wide, this navy blue watch strap loop is cut from flexible silicone. It feels soft against the skin and does not mind water, so it can stay on for swimming, showers and workouts. Navy blue is understated and works well with nautical and everyday straps. It is meant for straps exactly 19 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits.
Navy is the blue you choose when you want colour without drawing attention. From across a room it reads almost as black, but up close it shows a deep, ink-like tone that suits navy rubber straps, blue-dial office watches and nautical styles alike.
Tone on tone with a navy band, the keeper simply disappears into the strap, which is exactly what most people want after losing the original. On a white or sand-coloured strap it creates a smart, classic contrast that recalls sailing stripes.
Silicone keepers that have been stretched thousands of times eventually lose their tension. The tail of the strap then lifts away from the wrist and rubs against sleeves. A fresh navy loop restores a snug hold, and keeping a spare in a drawer saves you from the same problem next time.
This one is meant for a strap exactly 19 mm wide. Check yours with a ruler laid flat across the band close to the buckle, and read the figure in millimetres.
Can people tell navy from black on the wrist? In daylight the blue tone is visible; in dim light navy looks very dark and blends with black straps reasonably well.
Does a navy silicone loop handle daily handwashing? Yes, water and soap do not affect silicone, and it dries quickly.
