passant-16-6Designed for straps 22 mm wide, this dark green watch strap loop is cut from flexible silicone. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 22 mm. The silicone stretches slightly, so you can ease it over the strap without tools or any watchmaking know-how. Dark green offers a sober alternative to brighter greens.
Deep green has become one of the most fashionable colours in watchmaking, from green-dial divers to forest-toned field pieces. Dark green rubber straps follow the trend, and this keeper is coloured to accompany them.
The shade is a deep, bottle or forest green. It disappears into a matching strap and gives a calm, coordinated look. On a black strap it acts as a quiet accent that picks up a green dial; on a khaki or tan strap it creates an outdoorsy, earthy combination. Steel, bronze and gold-tone cases all work beside it.
The loop suits straps 22 mm wide. To confirm, measure the band at the keeper's position, just after the buckle, with a ruler in millimetres. Do not confuse this with the diameter of the watch case, which is a separate figure.
Slide the stretchy silicone over the strap tip; it returns to its shape and keeps the end of the strap tidy. If your old keeper had torn or lost its grip, this restores a secure hold. Water, sweat and soap leave the material unaffected, so cleaning is just a rinse and an occasional wash.
How does it compare with the emerald keeper? Dark green is deeper and more muted; emerald is brighter, with a jewel-like richness.
Does dark green suit a black rubber strap? Yes, it reads as a subtle contrast, ideal when the dial is green.
