Without a keeper, the loose end of a strap flaps about; this white synthetic leather loop for 21 mm straps fixes that. The white finish gives a clean, bright touch to a pale strap. Flexible and hard-wearing, it keeps its shape through daily use. To choose the right size, measure your strap where the loop sits: it should read 21 mm.
Very few watches use a 21 mm strap, which is why owners of those watches struggle to find spare parts. Most shops stop at 20 and 22 mm. If your white strap measures 21 mm across at the keeper and the original loop has gone, this is the correct replacement.
White straps at this width generally belong to larger dress or sports watches with a light theme. A white keeper keeps the strap bright and continuous; a dark one would cut the band visually in two. The white also looks sharp beside polished steel or a white dial.
Being a synthetic leather, it is supple and puts up with moisture better than natural leather. Clean it now and again with a soft, lightly soapy cloth. Measure with care before buying: a 21 mm keeper on a 20 mm strap would slip, and on a 22 mm strap it would not fit at all.
How can I tell 21 mm from 20 or 22 mm? Use a ruler with millimetre marks across the strap near the buckle. A 21 mm strap sits exactly between the two common sizes.
Is the white suitable for an off-white strap? It will be close, but slightly brighter than ivory or cream.
