Dark red silicone watch strap loop for 18 mm straps
If the free end of your 18 mm strap keeps flapping about, this dark red silicone loop puts it back where it belongs.…
passant-18-8Made from soft silicone in blue, this loop is designed for watch straps measuring 22 mm across. The blue shade looks sharp on a sports watch and pairs well with white or grey. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 22 mm. Once the buckle is closed, the end of the strap lies flat instead of catching on your sleeves.
Lost the little ring that holds down the end of your strap? Without it, the tail flaps loose, catches on jacket cuffs and can even let the buckle work itself open. A replacement keeper is the simplest repair there is, and this one comes in a clear, saturated blue.
On a blue strap, it blends in and makes the band look complete again. On a black, white or grey strap, it becomes a small splash of colour that echoes a blue dial or a blue diving bezel. Many outdoor and swimming watches use exactly this kind of mid-blue, so it rarely looks out of place on a sports piece.
Width matters more than anything else. This loop is made for straps that are 22 mm wide, which is a very common size on men's sports and diving watches. Measure the strap itself rather than the watch case: take the reading across the band close to the buckle.
Being silicone, it stretches to slip over the end of the strap and then grips without being tight. Pool water, sea water and sweat do not affect it.
Can I fit a blue keeper on a black strap? Yes, as long as the strap is 22 mm wide. The contrast is a popular way to match a blue dial.
Is it suitable for swimming? Yes. Silicone is unaffected by water, so you can swim with it and simply rinse it afterwards.
