Grey silicone watch strap loop for 17 mm straps
A grey silicone watch strap loop for 17 mm straps, made to replace a keeper that has split, stretched or gone missing.…
passant-17-1Give a 20 mm silicone or rubber strap a fresh keeper with this loop in black. Black stays discreet on a black strap and looks just as neat on darker colours. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 20 mm. Once the buckle is closed, the end of the strap lies flat instead of catching on your sleeves.
Most rubber and silicone watch bands are black, so a black loop is the replacement most people need. Fitted to a black 20 mm strap, it simply blends in and the watch looks complete again. It goes with any case colour, from polished steel to black-coated, gold-tone or titanium, and with any dial.
It is also the obvious spare to keep with a watch you wear daily. When a keeper splits on a Sunday morning before a run, having a black one ready saves the strap from flapping around for days.
The free end of a strap needs something to hold it after it passes through the buckle. Without a keeper the tip lifts, catches on cuffs and pockets, and the band can loosen. This silicone loop holds that tip firmly against the strap.
The material is elastic, so it can be stretched over the end and slid into place by hand. Rain, sweat and chlorinated water leave it unaffected; wash it now and then with mild soap.
Will a black loop work on a dark grey or navy strap? Yes, on dark bands black reads as a near match and keeps the look sober.
How do I make sure my strap takes a 20 mm keeper? Measure the strap itself, not the watch case, straight across where the keeper sits. It should read 20 mm.
