Silicone watch strap keeper, blue, for 12 mm straps
Give a 12 mm silicone or rubber strap a fresh keeper with this loop in blue. Blue sits comfortably between bright and…
passant-12-18Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: a light pink silicone keeper with a 22 mm inner width. The light pink shade adds a soft accent without overpowering the watch. Durable and flexible, it holds the strap end neatly in place all day long. Check that your strap measures 22 mm across at the keeper before choosing this size.
Light pink suits soft, feminine straps, summer watches and fashion pieces, but it is increasingly seen on larger sports watches and smartwatches too. When such a band loses its keeper, matching that delicate tone is the hard part. This loop offers a gentle, rosy pink designed to blend into a light pink strap.
As an accent, it softens a white or grey strap and sits nicely with rose gold cases and mother-of-pearl or white dials.
Although pink straps are often narrow, this keeper is made for a wide band of 22 mm. Ladies' watches commonly use straps between 10 and 16 mm, so do measure yours first: place a millimetre ruler across the strap near the buckle. If you read 22 mm, this is the right loop.
The silicone is supple and slips over the strap end with a gentle stretch. It does not mind water or perspiration. Because pale shades reveal marks from make-up, hand cream or clothing dye, wipe it regularly or wash it in lukewarm soapy water to keep the colour clean.
It is also worth having as a spare if your current loop has become slack and lets the strap tail lift away from the wrist.
How is light pink different from pale pink? The two are close pastel tones; compare them with your strap in daylight to choose the nearer match.
Will hand cream damage it? No, but it may leave a film, which comes off with soapy water.
