Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: a dark green silicone keeper with a 19 mm inner width. Dark green offers a…
passant-19-4Made from soft silicone in pale pink, this loop is designed for watch straps measuring 24 mm across. The 24 mm figure is the inner width of the loop, which should match the width of your strap. Waterproof and hard-wearing, it copes happily with sport and everyday wear. The pale pink shade suits a light, feminine strap or adds a gentle touch to white.
Pale pink is the most understated pink there is, close to a nude or blush tone. It suits anyone who wants colour without fuss: on a cream, white or beige rubber band it looks almost neutral, and on a pale pink strap it is a seamless replacement for a keeper that has broken or gone astray.
First, the practical check. The loop is designed for a strap 24 mm wide. Take a ruler, set it across the band near the buckle where the keeper belongs, and read the width in millimetres. That is the measurement printed on the product, and it is independent of the size of the watch case.
Once you know it fits, installation is quick. The silicone is supple, so you can stretch it and slide it over the end of the strap with your fingers. It returns to shape and holds the tail flush. Sweat, washing hands or a dip in the pool do it no harm; for cleaning, soap and lukewarm water are all it needs.
Is pale pink visible on a white strap? Only slightly. It adds a faint warmth rather than a strong contrast, which many people prefer on elegant casual watches.
Can I swim with it? Yes. Silicone is waterproof; rinse it after chlorinated or salt water to keep the colour fresh.
