Pale pink silicone watch strap loop for 16 mm straps
This pale pink silicone keeper is sized for 16 mm watch straps, with an inner width that matches the strap itself.…
passant-16-16Here is a simple fix for a tired strap: a blue silicone keeper with a 24 mm inner width. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 24 mm. The silicone stretches slightly, so you can ease it over the strap without tools or any watchmaking know-how. Blue is a dependable everyday colour that matches most blue straps.
Lost the keeper from a wide blue rubber strap? Without it the free end lifts away from the wrist and snags on cuffs and bag straps. This blue silicone ring puts things back in order on any band that measures 24 mm across.
Blue is probably the most common colour for sports straps after black, which makes this loop an easy match for a blue diving band or a two-tone strap with a blue face. It also looks sharp on a grey or white band if you want a single accent of colour picking up a blue bezel or dial.
Fitting takes seconds. Pull the ring slightly so it opens up, feed the tip of the strap through, then slide it to where it holds the tail flat against the band. Because the material is waterproof and indifferent to perspiration, it can stay on the watch for swimming, running or a day at sea, and rinses clean under the tap.
How do I know my strap is 24 mm? Measure the band in millimetres close to the buckle, at the spot where the keeper sits. A wide strap of 24 mm is typical of large sports and diver-style watches.
Is this blue the same as navy? No, it is a mid blue, brighter than navy and deeper than sky blue. Choose the one closest to your strap or dial.
