Silicone watch strap keeper, emerald green, for 16 mm straps
An emerald green silicone watch strap loop for 16 mm straps, made to replace a keeper that has split, stretched or…
passant-16-17Made from soft silicone in brown, this loop is designed for watch straps measuring 26 mm across. It feels soft against the skin and does not mind water, so it can stay on for swimming, showers and workouts. Brown is warm and classic, a natural match for brown or tan straps. It is meant for straps exactly 26 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits.
Brown silicone is less common than black, which is precisely its appeal. It gives a sporty strap the warmth of leather while staying washable and waterproof. If your wide band is brown rubber, this keeper restores it to its original appearance. It also sits nicely on tan or dark beige straps and complements bronze or gold-toned cases.
Whether the original loop snapped when you tightened the strap or simply disappeared one day, the result is the same: a long tail of 26 mm that flaps around and catches on sleeves. Fitting this replacement is a matter of seconds. Stretch it gently, thread the strap end through and slide it to its usual place beside the buckle.
Unlike a leather keeper, this one has no fear of water. You can swim, shower or garden with the watch on. To clean it, use warm water and a little soap, then pat it dry.
Can a brown silicone keeper go on a brown leather strap? It can, provided the strap is 26 mm wide where the keeper sits. The finish will look smoother and more matt than leather, so the closest match remains a rubber or silicone band.
How do I check that my strap is 26 mm? Measure straight across the band near the buckle with a ruler marked in millimetres. The figure must read 26; the size of the watch case does not count.
