Silicone watch strap keeper, grey, for 20 mm straps
If the free end of your 20 mm strap keeps flapping about, this grey silicone loop puts it back where it belongs. Grey…
passant-20-11Give an 18 mm silicone or rubber strap a fresh keeper with this loop in coral. Coral is a warm pinkish orange that looks bright and summery on the wrist. Fitting it is easy: simply stretch it a little and slide the strap through. It is meant for straps exactly 18 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits.
Coral is that warm mix of pink and orange that looks especially good against tanned skin and on holiday watches. Paired with a coral band, it keeps the colour scheme intact; set against white or beige, it adds a lively accent. Fashion watches with rose-tone cases often carry straps in this family of shades.
The job of a keeper is simple: it holds the spare length of strap flat once the buckle is fastened. Silicone does this well because it is grippy and elastic. It can be stretched to slip over the band tip and contracts again around it. Seawater, sun cream and sand are no problem; rinse it in clean water afterwards to remove residue.
Make sure your band is 18 mm across before choosing this size. A ruler laid over the strap just beyond the buckle gives the answer in seconds. If the number is different, choose the matching width instead, since a loose keeper slides and a tight one can bunch the strap.
How is coral different from the orange and pink loops? Coral sits between the two: warmer than pink, softer and less vivid than orange.
Can I wear the coral loop at the beach? Yes, silicone tolerates salt water and sun; a rinse in fresh water keeps it clean.
