Chat with us now
The Cartier Tank has cemented its positioning as one of the most iconic watches of the past 100 years, and its popularity is going strong today. We are pleased to offer straps to fit the modern day Cartier Tank Must and Tank Louis Cartier, in Small, Large and Extra Large sizes.
Saffiano leather is extremely popular amongst mainstream fashion, made popular by Prada. Even if you don't know its name, you probably have seen it before. It's an embossed pattern that has very pronounced and uniform grain. The scratch and water resistance of Saffiano is amongst the best there is.
Strap Length Guide
There are two sides per strap, which we refer to as the long end and the short end, which are represented by C and D respectively in the diagram below.
Our handcrafted leather straps come in 3 different lengths.
- Small (C: 105mm, D: 65mm)
- Medium (C: 115mm, D: 70mm)
- Large (C: 125mm, D: 75mm)
A quick way to decide on the length to get is based on your wrist size. Here is the general recommendation (if you are between sizes, we recommend to size up):
- Wrist size of 14.5cm - 17.0cm: Small
- Wrist size of 16.5cm - 19.0cm : Medium
- Wrist size of 18.5cm - 21.0cm: Large
If you need a strap that is shorter than Small (105/65), or longer than Large (125/75), you can always have the strap custom made.
| Measurements | Description | S | M | L |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Lug width | Varies by lug width (see product listing) |
||
| B | Buckle width | |||
| C | Long strap length | 105mm | 115mm | 125mm |
| D | Short strap length | 65mm | 70mm | 75mm |
| E | Distance to middle hole | 63mm | 71mm | 81mm |
| F | Distance between holes | 6mm | ||
| G | Size of holes | 1.8mm | ||
| Number of Strap Holes | 7 | 7 | 7 | |
Hope this quick guide helps! Finding the perfect length to get can be a little bit more complicated, as it also depends on the lug-to-lug distance of your watch, and even the shape of your wrist. For a more detailed guide on sizing, please check out this page.
Find Your Lug Width
If you're looking to purchase a strap for your watch, you will need to know the lug width of your watch. Lug width refers to "A" in this schematic below.
There are two ways to find out the lug width of your watch.
- Firstly, you can Google "<watch brand and model> lug width" and see if there is an answer from the brand's website, or some other websites.
- Alternatively, you can simply take a ruler and measure the lug width directly on your watch.
Lug widths are typically in whole numbers, and while the most common lug widths are between 18-22mm, they can go down to 8mm or up to 32mm even. Our ready stock straps are available in 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm and 26mm. If you need other lug widths, you can have it custom made.
You will then need to purchase a strap of the same lug width. For example, if your watch has a lug width of 20mm, you will need to purchase strap with a width of 20-16.
Note: Our Widths typically have two numbers, for example 20-16. The first number (20) refers to the lug width ("A" in the schematic above). The second number (16) refers to the buckle width ("B" in the schematic above). You just need to ensure that the first number matches the lug width of your watch.
Scratch-Resistant
Water-Resistant
Chrome Tanned
The animal hide is turned into leather through a tanning process that uses chromium salts and tanning liquors. Chrome-tan is a more industrial tanning process, and the resultant leather is typically more pliable, with greater water-resistance and scratch-resistance properties. Chrome-tanned leather are generally also available in a wider range of colours.
Customer Reviews
Love the materials and look this strap gives my tank. The fit is a tad bit tight so changing straps is not as easy as I’d like. I would still get more though!

Great quality
Doing the next purchase already
Leather quality is good, but buckle tongue provided was too long, resulting in difficulties in wearing and taking off the watch, (difficult to put in and take out the tongue from the strap holes). Had to swap the OEM Cartier tang buckle and tongue onto this strap to solve the issue. Wife not happy.
I really like quality and design of delugs strap for cartier tank. The only negative aspect is that I have medium wrist and medium strap is a bit to short....
Next time I would definitely go for large
