passant-24-8Keep your strap end under control with this blue silicone keeper, made for 17 mm watch bands. Blue is a dependable everyday colour that matches most blue straps. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 17 mm. Once the buckle is closed, the end of the strap lies flat instead of catching on your sleeves.
Odd-numbered widths catch people out. A strap that measures 17 mm sits between the two more familiar sizes, and a loop meant for 16 mm may refuse to go on while an 18 mm one wobbles. This blue silicone keeper is cut specifically for 17 mm, so it closes neatly around that strap.
A clean, mid blue goes with blue rubber straps, sporty dials and casual everyday watches. It also creates a pleasant contrast on white, grey or black. If your watch is mostly blue and steel, the keeper ties the strap back into the overall look.
Use a ruler marked in millimetres and measure straight across the strap near the buckle. If you read a value just above 16 but clearly short of 18, you are probably dealing with a 17 mm band. Measuring at the lugs is less reliable, as many straps taper.
The silicone stretches slightly, so the loop slides over the strap end by hand and then grips. Water and sweat do not affect it, and it can be washed with soap. It is the obvious fix for a keeper that has torn, slackened or gone missing.
Can I use a 16 or 18 mm keeper on a 17 mm strap instead? A 16 mm loop is usually too tight and an 18 mm one too loose; matching the exact width gives the best hold.
Is blue suitable for swimming? Yes, silicone tolerates fresh, salt and chlorinated water.
