Whether the old loop has cracked or vanished altogether, this khaki plastic watch strap loop for 26 mm straps restores a tidy fit. It slides onto the band by hand and holds the free end in place during sport, work or a day out. The plastic is firm yet supple, and cleaning takes nothing more than soapy water.
Wide straps are common on rugged, military-look watches built to be read at a glance. This khaki plastic keeper is meant for exactly that type of band when it measures 26 mm across. On an olive strap the colours match; on black or brown it adds an earthy, utilitarian accent in keeping with the watch's character.
A keeper on an outdoor watch has a simple job: stop the strap end from catching on undergrowth, ropes or a backpack. Plastic does it well. It is light, keeps its shape, is not troubled by rain or a river crossing, and rinses clean after a muddy day. Fitting it requires no tools: slide it on from the free end of the strap and push it towards the buckle.
Before ordering, measure the strap width close to the buckle with a ruler. The 26 mm size is wide and differs from the more frequent sizes on standard watches, so a quick measurement avoids disappointment.
Is khaki a good choice on a sand-coloured strap? It gives a soft tone-on-tone contrast that suits a desert or field look.
Should I carry a spare keeper when travelling? It is a light, small part, so a spare in a bag pocket can save a strap end flapping for the rest of a trip.
