NEED ASSISTANCE IN FINDING THE PERFECT SIZE FOR YOUR WATCH STRAP?

Use this straightforward guide with examples to help you choose and order the right strap for your watch and wrist. Please keep in mind that ordering a strap with incorrect measurements can result in an uncomfortable fit or may not fit your watch at all. Straps ordered with the wrong size cannot be refunded.

To order a watch strap, you need to know

three key measurements

  • Lug Width: This is the distance between the two lugs on your watch case where the strap attaches.
  • Strap Length: A watch strap consists of two parts; a shorter piece and a longer piece. Knowing the correct length for both ensures a comfortable fit.
  • Buckle Width: The buckle connects the two strap pieces and secures the watch on your wrist. Selecting the right buckle or deployant size is essential for proper attachment.

Lug Width

  • Lug width is the distance between the two lugs of the watch. This measurement is crucial because it determines the size of the strap that will properly fit your watch.
  • Watch lug widths typically range from 16mm to 24mm, depending on the model. Accurately measuring the lug width is essential to selecting a compatible strap.
  • To measure the lug width, you can use a ruler or digital caliper, placing it between the inner edges of the lugs where the strap attaches.

How to Measure Strap Length

To find the correct strap length, start by measuring your wrist circumference with a flexible measuring tape. Alternatively, you can use the measurements of a watch strap that fits you comfortably as a reference when selecting your size.

Watch straps generally come in three standard lengths, designed for average watch faces between 35mm and 42mm:

  • Small: 105mm (long side) / 70mm (short side)
  • Medium: 115mm (long side) / 75mm (short side)
  • Large: 120mm (long side) / 80mm (short side)

Use the following guide to choose the appropriate strap length based on your wrist size:

  • Wrist size 14.5 – 16.5 cm: Small
  • Wrist size 16.5 – 18.5 cm: Medium
  • Wrist size 18.5 – 21.5 cm: Large

Buckle Width

There are several types of buckles and clasps available for watch straps.

Our straps are typically provided with either a MarianoCustoms buckle or one of two types of deployant clasps, available in sizes ranging from 16mm to 20mm. If you wish to use your own buckle or clasp, it is important to select the correct width.
