passant-18-2A blue silicone watch strap loop for 20 mm straps, made to replace a keeper that has split, stretched or gone missing. Blue sits comfortably between bright and sober, so it suits many watches. Fitting it is easy: simply stretch it a little and slide the strap through. It is meant for straps exactly 20 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits.
A strap tip that flaps every time you reach for something is usually the sign of a missing or split keeper. This blue ring brings it back under control: it grips the free end of a 20 mm band and keeps it flat against the rest of the strap, so it no longer catches on sleeves or bag straps.
The shade is a true, mid-strength blue. On a blue rubber strap it blends in; on black or grey it adds a discreet note of colour that echoes a blue dial or a blue bezel insert, a classic combination on sports and diving watches. It sits halfway between playful and serious, which makes it easy to wear at the office as well as at weekends.
Being silicone, it has some give. You stretch it slightly, pass the strap through, and it settles snugly around the band. Water, sweat and swimming pools are no problem, and a wash in soapy water is enough to clean it.
Width matters more than anything else here. Twenty millimetres is a frequent strap size on men's watches, but always measure your own band at the spot where the keeper lives rather than relying on the case size.
Does this blue loop suit a black strap? Yes, it gives a subtle contrast that works well when the watch has blue details on the dial or bezel.
My strap is 20 mm at the lugs but narrower at the buckle. Which size do I need? Choose the width measured where the keeper sits; on a tapered strap that is usually the narrower figure near the buckle.
