Give a cherished 18 mm leather strap a new lease of life with this brown watch strap loop in genuine leather. Real cowhide, finished discreetly, it keeps the strap tip in place and looks at home on a dress watch or a vintage timepiece. No tools are required: slide it onto the strap, fasten the buckle and you are ready to go.
Eighteen millimetres is a classic men's strap width, widely used on slim dress watches and many traditional designs, and also on some larger women's models. If your brown leather band at this size has lost its keeper, this replacement in genuine leather will hold the tail end neatly in place.
Brown leather on a watch suggests something relaxed yet considered. This loop pairs naturally with a brown band of any depth, a steel or gold case and dials in white, cream, blue or green. Green and brown, in particular, make a handsome pairing on many current dress watches. Wear it with an open-collar shirt, a tweed jacket or a weekend knit.
Measure the width of the strap, not the case, at the spot where the keeper sits near the buckle. If you read 18 mm, you have found your size.
Because it is real leather, the loop bends easily to go on and keeps a firm hold afterwards. It will slowly darken and gain character, ageing along with the strap. Keep it out of water as much as possible and never dry it next to a heater.
Will this keeper fit an 18 mm brown strap that tapers to 16 mm? Measure at the buckle end: if the strap is 16 mm there, choose a 16 mm keeper instead.
Is a brown loop suitable for a blue-dial watch? Yes, brown leather and blue dials form a popular, balanced combination.
