19 mm watch strap loop in dark red silicone, stretchy
This 19 mm watch strap loop in dark red silicone keeps the tail of your strap flat against the band once the buckle is…
passant-19-10If the free end of your 17 mm strap keeps flapping about, this coral silicone loop puts it back where it belongs. Coral is a warm pinkish orange that looks bright and summery on the wrist. The silicone stretches slightly, so you can ease it over the strap without tools or any watchmaking know-how. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 17 mm.
Coral blends pink and orange into a warm tone that looks great in bright light. It is the natural keeper for a coral strap, a cheerful contrast on navy or turquoise, and a soft accent on white. Holiday watches, sporty fashion pieces and colourful smartwatch-style straps all suit it.
This ring is made for 17 mm straps. That width is less usual than 16 or 18 mm, so check carefully: lay a ruler across the band beside the buckle. If the reading is 17 mm, the keeper will wrap the strap firmly instead of sliding.
Silicone gives a little when stretched. Slide the coral loop over the end of the band, guide it towards the buckle, and release. It tightens back around the strap and keeps the tail in place after the watch is fastened. There is no need to remove the strap from the watch.
The material is unaffected by water and sweat and cleans with soapy water, which matters for a light, bright colour that might otherwise show sun cream marks.
Lost keepers, torn edges and loops that have stretched out of shape are the most common reasons for buying a new one.
Will coral suit a turquoise strap? Yes, coral and turquoise are a lively, summery contrast.
Can I tell if my strap is 17 rather than 18 mm? Measure with a millimetre ruler at the buckle end; 17 mm sits exactly one millimetre short of 18.
