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).

  • Length: both pieces added together. In brackets, the first figure is the buckle end (c) and the second is the hole end (d).
  • Buckle width: from 10mm the strap narrows towards the buckle (8mm stays the same width), so this is its width at that end (b).

Terrific quality strap.

Fantastic leather strap with glossy, patent finish. Thin and unpadded, it is ideal for 'tank' style dress watches.

I remember a watch that was bought as a present for me and it had the exact same strap.
Years down the line, a few straps and repairs later I found your crocodile skin strap which was originally on the gift.
Although the watch is a classic the strap lifts it even further.
Now that the two together- perfect.
The strap arrived promptly and everything went smoothly
Thank you for your good customer service.
