Silicone watch strap keeper, yellow, for 26 mm straps
If the free end of your 26 mm strap keeps flapping about, this yellow silicone loop puts it back where it belongs. It…
passant-26-4Lost the little loop that holds the end of your strap? This red silicone watch strap loop fits straps 24 mm wide and slips into place in seconds. Pick red to replace a matching keeper or to give a plain strap a splash of colour. Check that your strap measures 24 mm across at the keeper before choosing this size. Soft yet robust, it is pleasant to wear and keeps its hold on the strap.
Red is energetic and impossible to miss. On a red 24 mm strap this keeper keeps the look uniform; on a black or white band it becomes a deliberate flash of colour that ties in with a red seconds hand, a racing-inspired dial or a red bezel insert.
It is just as useful for a practical reason. A keeper that has cracked or stretched lets the end of a wide band wave about, which is irritating and can make the buckle open by accident if the tail catches. Replacing it restores a neat, secure finish.
This loop is made from silicone, so it gives when stretched and grips when released. That means no tools, no visit to a watchmaker and no need to take the strap off the watch. It handles rain, sweat and swimming without complaint and can be cleaned with mild soap.
Before buying, measure your strap: across the band, beside the buckle, in millimetres. It must read 24 mm for this keeper to sit correctly.
Bright red or dark red: which should I pick? This is a vivid true red. For a deeper, wine-like shade on a burgundy strap, the dark red version is the better match.
Does red silicone bleed colour? No, the colour is in the material and does not transfer onto skin or clothing with normal use.
