How to find the correct size watch strap

Measuring your watch strap is a straightforward yet crucial step in finding a new strap that fits both your watch case and wrist comfortably.

If you’ve currently got a leather watch strap, the quickest and easiest way to determine width is simply to look at the back side of the strap. Some – not all – have the width imprinted onto the leather. For example, if there’s a ‘22’ on the back of your leather strap, it means the width is 22mm.

Simple!

If your strap doesn’t have a number on it – or you’re dealing with a strap made from a different material – you’ll need to measure the width yourself. But this isn’t difficult. What you need to do is find the ‘lug width’, which is the size of the gap between the lugs (or horns). The lugs are the two metal parts on each side of the watch case that protrude out and connect the case to the strap. Measure between the inside of the lugs on one side, and record your measurement in millimetres.

The image above shows how to measure the lug width. On this watch it measures 20mm so requires a 20mm watch strap. Always measure accurately and in millimeters, if your rulers is in centimeters you can always convert this to millimeters (we don't advise measuring in inches).

The Military Cover in black is a proper piece of kit, ideal for a field watch that has to put up with knocks, mud and weather.

It's a bund-style military strap with a leather cover. A broad leather pad sits under the watch to keep the case back off your skin, and a leather flap folds over the top to protect the glass, held shut with press studs. You can take the cover off when you don't need it. The two stitched strap pieces narrow to a 16mm buckle.

It's finished with a silver buckle. Available in 18mm and 20mm.

Strap measurements

  • 18mm: 230mm long, 16mm at the buckle
  • 20mm: 230mm long, 16mm at the buckle
What the measurements mean
  • Width: fits between your watch's lugs, so match it to your lug width (a on the diagram).
  • Length: both strap pieces added together, not counting the pad (d).
  • Buckle width: the strap narrows towards the buckle, so this is its width at that end (b).
  • Bund pad: the wide leather pad that sits between the watch and your wrist. The cover is extra and isn't shown on the diagram.

Found the length of the strap a bit short but I suppose it will stretch with wear , other than that it perfect for the job. Thanks.

Coming in a little on the short side, really needed another cm of strap itself, especially with the watch fitted, I suspect given time it'll give a bit
Otherwise, top marks
