Silicone watch strap keeper, black, for 16 mm straps
Keep your strap end under control with this black silicone keeper, made for 16 mm watch bands. Black stays discreet on…
passant-16-14If the free end of your 22 mm strap keeps flapping about, this red silicone loop puts it back where it belongs. Once the buckle is closed, the end of the strap lies flat instead of catching on your sleeves. Pick red to replace a matching keeper or to give a plain strap a splash of colour. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 22 mm.
Red is energetic and sporty. It shows up on racing chronographs, running watches and red-accented divers, and it brings instant personality to any band. This keeper is a full, bright red.
Two ways to wear it. On a red strap it keeps the colour uniform, which matters after the original loop has broken. On a black, grey or white strap, a red loop becomes a deliberate detail that ties in with a red seconds hand, a red chronograph scale or a red GMT hand.
It is made for a band 22 mm in width. The surest method is to measure the strap with a millimetre ruler at the point where the keeper will sit, close to the buckle, rather than relying on the watch's case size.
The loop stretches to pass over the strap tip and then tightens around the band to keep the tail flat. It handles rain, pool water and sweat without complaint; rinse it after a workout and wash it with mild soap when needed.
A loose strap end is not only untidy, it can catch and pull the buckle open. A firm new keeper avoids that.
Is this the same as the dark red keeper? No. This is a bright, vivid red; the dark red version is a deeper burgundy-like tone.
Will a red keeper look good on a black sports strap? Yes, especially if the dial has red markings.
