16 mm watch strap loop in grey silicone, stretchy
Made from soft silicone in grey, this loop is designed for watch straps measuring 16 mm across. Grey keeps things…
passant-16-18Keep your strap end under control with this sky blue silicone keeper, made for 24 mm watch bands. It is meant for straps exactly 24 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits. Fitting it is easy: simply stretch it a little and slide the strap through. Sky blue pairs nicely with grey and white as well as matching blue bands.
Sky blue is a light, airy tone that sits well on pastel sports watches, white-cased beach pieces and grey or white bands that could use a hint of colour. If your wide strap has lost its keeper, or the old one has split along its seam, this soft blue ring is a cheerful replacement.
The width matters more than anything else. This loop is sized for bands 24 mm wide; check yours with a ruler near the buckle, where the keeper normally rests. A loop meant for a narrower strap would be too tight to slide, and a wider one would drift up and down.
Being silicone, it gives a little as you ease the strap through, then contracts to hold the tail flat. It shrugs off rain, sea water and the sweat of a summer run, and a quick wash with soapy water restores its pale colour if it gets grubby.
Does sky blue match a white 24 mm band? Very well. Pale blue on white gives a fresh, summery look without the harshness of a strong contrast.
Is a light colour like this suitable for children's or holiday watches? Yes, provided the strap is 24 mm wide. Its soft tone suits playful and casual watches in particular.
