A missing keeper leaves the end of your strap sticking out and snagging on clothes. This white plastic loop, made for 17 mm straps, puts things right in seconds: slide it onto the band, fasten the buckle and tuck the tip through. Firm but flexible, it copes with daily wear and rinses clean with a little soapy water.
Seventeen millimetres is one of those in-between widths that is easy to get wrong. A ring made for 16 mm will not slide over the band, and one made for 18 mm will wander up and down it. This white plastic keeper is made specifically for 17 mm straps, so it sits where it should.
Use a ruler marked in millimetres and measure the strap close to the buckle, where the keeper normally sits. Do not measure the case or the lugs. If you read halfway between two marks, measure again on a flat surface; with odd widths, a single millimetre makes the difference.
White straps appear on summer watches, sports models and medical or nursing watches. A matching ring keeps the band uniform and fresh. On a light blue or pastel strap it adds a clean, crisp accent. The plastic is light and stiff, and goes best with plastic or resin bands, the usual material of white straps.
Replacing it is a small job: slide the free end of the band through the ring and push it towards the buckle.
My strap measures 17 mm; can I use an 18 mm keeper instead? It would be slightly loose and could slide off; the 17 mm size holds better.
How do I keep a white ring looking new? Wash it occasionally in lukewarm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth.
