Broader and more solid than a standard keeper, this wide silver stainless steel loop is made for 22 mm straps and comes into its own on thick bands and diving watches. The steel resists rust and water, and holds the strap end firmly in place however active your day. Slide it on by hand for a sturdy, tidy finish.
At 22 mm, a strap belongs to a larger watch: sports chronographs, dive-style models and bold everyday pieces. A wide silver keeper at that width balances the broad strap and matches the polished or brushed steel such watches are often made of.
Here is a simple way to check the fit. Measure across your strap with a millimetre ruler, right after the buckle where the keeper rides. A reading of 22 mm means this keeper will slide on and hold the strap tail without wobbling. Being steel, it does not stretch, so a 20 mm or 24 mm strap would need a different size.
Stainless steel also makes sense around water. It does not rust, so a swim, a shower or a rainy commute are no concern. Rubber straps, thick leather and NATO-style bands all pair well with it, and the silver tone works with nearly any dial colour.
Can this keeper go on a rubber dive strap? Yes, as long as the strap is 22 mm wide; the steel loop adds a touch of metal to the rubber.
Will it look too big on my watch? On a 22 mm strap the wide format looks proportionate, since straps of that width usually accompany larger cases.
