Made of genuine cowhide with a discreet finish, this brown watch strap loop fits 14 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.
Fourteen millimetres sits in the gap between delicate ladies' bands and fuller men's straps, so it turns up on a wide range of watches: medium ladies' models, small vintage gents' watches and many slim dress pieces. If yours has lost its keeper, this brown ring in genuine leather will hold the strap end flat again.
Brown is versatile. A medium brown loop sits happily on most brown bands, from light tan to dark chocolate, without drawing attention. It is a natural partner for gold cases and warm dials, and it suits relaxed wardrobes built on denim, linen or wool.
How do you know it is the right size? Take the band in hand, find the spot close to the buckle where the keeper usually rests, and measure across it in millimetres. A reading of 14 mm means you have the right product. The width given for a keeper is always the width of the strap that goes through it.
Leather keepers wear out: they stretch, crack along the fold or tear where they meet the band. Swapping one is a two-second job and avoids buying a full new strap.
Can a brown 14 mm loop replace a cracked keeper on a vintage strap? Yes, provided the strap measures 14 mm at the buckle end; slide the new loop on from the tip.
How should I clean it? Wipe it with a dry soft cloth; avoid soaking or detergents, which can dry out genuine leather.
