Designed for straps 26 mm wide, this purple watch strap loop is cut from flexible silicone. Purple is distinctive and…
passant-26-17Made from soft silicone in navy blue, this loop is designed for watch straps measuring 22 mm across. Navy blue is a versatile, sober colour that rarely looks out of place. A quick wash in soapy water is all it needs to stay clean. Measure the strap across, near the lugs or at the old keeper, and pick the same figure, here 22 mm.
Navy is the quiet alternative to black. It reads as dark at a glance, yet in daylight it shows its deep blue character, which is why so many dive watches, pilot's watches and smart everyday pieces come on navy rubber. This keeper is cut from silicone in that same restrained shade.
On a navy strap the loop simply disappears into the band, which is usually what you want after losing the original. It also pairs nicely with a grey or light blue strap if you like a tone-on-tone look, and with an orange strap for a nautical contrast. Gold or steel cases with blue dials sit well beside it.
The loop accepts a strap 22 mm wide. To confirm yours, measure across the band near the buckle using a ruler marked in millimetres. Because silicone stretches, you can work it over the tip of the strap by hand, then slide it towards the buckle where it settles snugly.
Navy hides everyday dirt better than lighter colours, but it still benefits from a wash in warm soapy water from time to time, especially after exercise.
Will navy look black on my wrist? In low light it can appear almost black; outdoors the blue becomes clearly visible.
Can I use this keeper on a leather strap? It will fit any 22 mm strap, though silicone looks most at home on rubber or silicone bands.
