passant-26-2Has the keeper on your 26 mm strap snapped? This clear silicone replacement restores a tidy finish. It is meant for straps exactly 26 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits. Fitting it is easy: simply stretch it a little and slide the strap through. Being clear, it lets the colour of the strap show through, so it works with almost any band.
When no coloured keeper quite matches your strap, a clear one is the clever way out. Being transparent, it lets the strap's own colour show through, so it blends with unusual shades, two-tone bands and patterned straps alike. It also suits watches with see-through or ice-style cases and straps, where a clear loop continues the theme.
On a strap 26 mm wide, the free end is long and needs holding down. If the original keeper has split or been lost, this clear silicone loop takes over. It stretches easily over the strap tip and then contracts around the band, keeping the tail flat against the wrist. Water and sweat are no trouble for it.
Clear silicone can show dust or lint trapped against the strap. Slide it off now and then, wash it in lukewarm water with a little soap and let it dry, and it will regain its transparency.
Will a clear keeper work on a black strap? Yes. It will look dark because the black shows through it, while the slight sheen of the silicone remains visible up close.
How should I check the width? Measure across the strap with a millimetre ruler near the buckle. This transparent keeper is sized for a band exactly 26 mm wide.
