When the keeper on a leather-look strap gives way, the free end starts flapping about and catching on your sleeve.…

If the keeper on your 16 mm strap has split, this black loop in synthetic leather restores a neat finish. The black finish stays sober and elegant on a dark leather-look band. Flexible and hard-wearing, it keeps its shape through daily use. The 16 mm figure is the inner width of the loop, which should match the width of your strap.
A black 16 mm strap is about as classic as it gets on a ladies' dress watch, and it is also common on small vintage pieces passed down through the family. When the loop on such a strap gives up, the watch suddenly looks neglected. A new black keeper puts that right in moments.
Some shoppers wonder whether faux leather looks inferior next to a real leather strap. On black, the difference is very hard to see: the surface has a fine grain and a soft sheen. The practical advantage is that it does not mind a wet wrist after the gym or a sudden shower.
To fit it, open the buckle, pass the free end of the strap through the new loop and push it along towards the buckle. Fasten the watch as usual and tuck the tip under the keeper. If the strap still has the remains of a broken loop, remove those first so they do not rub.
Is black right for a dark brown strap? On a very dark brown it can pass, but a coffee brown keeper gives a closer match.
What if my strap measures 15 mm? Then this 16 mm loop would be too loose. Choose the size that equals your strap width exactly.
