Made of genuine cowhide with a discreet finish, this black watch strap loop fits 16 mm leather straps and replaces a keeper that has torn or gone missing. Without it, the strap tip keeps moving and can rub against your watch. Simply slide the loop onto the strap and close the buckle: no tools and no watchmaking skills are needed.
A black strap with a missing or torn keeper always looks unfinished. On a 16 mm watch band, this black loop in genuine leather tucks the end away so that the band lies flat and looks complete again.
Sixteen millimetres is found across many styles: larger ladies' watches, smaller men's dress watches and plenty of classic pieces from previous decades. Black is the colour of choice for formal wear. Paired with a steel case and a white, silver or black dial, it keeps the watch sober and elegant, perfect with a suit or an evening outfit.
To make sure the size is right, place a millimetre ruler across the strap where the keeper lives, just before the buckle. A 16 mm reading confirms this keeper. Straps often taper, so measure there rather than at the lugs.
Genuine leather has a little natural stretch. It goes on with a gentle push over the strap tip and then holds its position. Avoid prolonged water contact, and dab away any moisture with a dry cloth.
My watch is a men's model; is 16 mm too narrow? Not necessarily. Many older or slimmer men's watches use 16 mm bands; what matters is the measured width of your strap.
Does black leather fade? With heavy sun and water exposure it can lose some depth, so keeping it dry helps preserve the deep black.
