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.
Chevre leather from Alran tannery is most often used in small leather goods. The beauty of Alran Chevre is in the texture and grain. It has a slight pebbled texture that is very smooth to the touch, making any product immediately look luxurious. The pebbled surface on Chevre is formed naturally from the raw goat leather and the tanning process, and not embossed on. It also has fine pebbled grain patterns and is slightly shiny. Chevre has very strong water and scratch-resistant properties.

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) |

| C | Long strap length | 105mm | 115mm | 125mm |

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
Pliable
The strap is very soft and flexible, and is extremely comfortable with zero break-in required. This is owing to both the type of material used, and the overall construction of the strap.
Combination Tanned
Combination tanned is when the animal hides have been both chrome tanned and vegetable tanned, to achieve a combination of both tanning methods properties.
I wanted to share my thoughts on the Delugs Gold Chevre Strap for the Cartier Tank Louis (WGTA0011), as I haven’t seen many reviews pairing this combo.
The OEM alligator strap that comes with the Tank is undoubtedly well-made, but I found it to be quite stiff and formal. The Cartier Tank is a watch that deserves to be enjoyed as much as possible, and I was looking for something that would make it more comfortable for daily wear.
The Gold Chevre strap from Delugs exceeded my expectations. It’s incredibly supple right out of the box, making it much more comfortable on the wrist. The chevre leather is sourced from a French tannery, which I found to be a fitting complement to a watch with such rich Parisian heritage. The texture adds a subtle elegance, and the gold tone pairs beautifully with the warm hue of the yellow gold case.
For reference, my wrist is approximately 7 inches, and I opted for the large strap size, which fits very well. The strap integrates seamlessly with the Tank’s design, giving it a refined yet relaxed look. Whether dressed up or down, this strap makes the Tank feel more versatile while retaining its timeless charm.
If you’re looking to enhance the comfort and wearability of your Tank while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic, I highly recommend giving this strap a try.
I loved the craftsmanship very nice product will definitely purchase more straps from your company for my watches, perfect fit on watch!! 😁 👍
This is the perfect companion strap for my Cartier Tank XL. The fit is perfect and looks OEM. Having the ability to switch to a more casual band means more wrist time and enjoyment. Thanks Delugs!
