Dark red silicone watch strap loop for 12 mm straps
This 12 mm watch strap loop in dark red silicone keeps the tail of your strap flat against the band once the buckle is…
passant-12-07Keep your strap end under control with this black silicone keeper, made for 28 mm watch bands. It feels soft against the skin and does not mind water, so it can stay on for swimming, showers and workouts. In black, it disappears against a dark strap for a clean, uncluttered look. It is meant for straps exactly 28 mm wide, measured at the point where the loop sits.
Straps 28 mm wide are uncommon, so finding a keeper of exactly that size can be a hunt. Oversized watches, heavy-duty sports models and some bold fashion pieces use bands this broad, and a standard keeper simply will not do. This black silicone loop is sized for them.
The challenge with a very wide strap is the tail. It is broad and heavy, and without a keeper it will not lie flat; it sticks up, catches on sleeves and bends over time. Fitting a new black loop solves that. Silicone stretches enough to pass over the strap tip and then closes around the band firmly, holding the end in place.
Silicone is soft, flexible and unaffected by water or perspiration. Rain, swimming and workouts are not a concern. Clean it by rinsing under warm water with a little mild soap. Black goes with almost any strap colour and keeps the look discreet.
How do I know my strap is 28 mm and not 26 or 30? Measure across the band beside the buckle with a millimetre ruler. At these widths a couple of millimetres make a real difference, so read the figure carefully.
Can I trim a larger keeper to fit? Cutting a keeper weakens it and it may split. Choosing the exact width is the reliable solution.
