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-18-8Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: a light green silicone keeper with a 24 mm inner width. Light green is fresh and summery, ideal for matching a pastel or mint strap. Measure the strap across, near the lugs or at the old keeper, and pick the same figure, here 24 mm. It suits classic watches and smartwatches alike, provided the strap has the right width.
Light green is fresh and spring-like, a shade between mint and pistachio. It brightens a white or grey wide strap, matches light green rubber bands and pairs nicely with watches that have green or turquoise details on the dial.
Think of it for casual, outdoorsy or summer watches: gardening, cycling, a day on the beach. Silicone copes with all of that. It does not swell or weaken when wet, it handles sweat, and if it gets dirty it washes clean with a little soap.
The loop accepts straps 24 mm wide. Measure yours by placing a ruler across the band at the keeper position, just beyond the buckle. Do not use the case diameter, which has nothing to do with the strap width.
Then simply stretch the ring over the tip of the strap and slide it along until it traps the end. There is no tool required and nothing to unscrew.
Will light green clash with a dark green strap? Two greens of very different depth can look intentional, but if you want a close match, the dark green or emerald versions are nearer to deep straps.
Is this a good spare for a child's watch? If the strap measures 24 mm, yes; its cheerful colour suits playful watches.
