What's Included
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.Â

Customer Reviews
I’ve been enjoying this new tropic CTS strap a lot! I have two of Delugs’ original CTS straps and I wear them all the time. This new release is just as solid and comfortable, but the tropic pattern brings some more character and visual interest! The new clasp with a two position micro-adjustment is also a big improvement! The strap is still super versatile for my collection, but I particularly enjoy it on my speedmaster! Highly recommend!
The new Tropic CTS strap from @Delugs complemented my Ghost Sub really well! Vintage feel with a modern touch. The tropic strap would certainly pair well with any dive watches, too.
I'm a big fan of dive watches - both modern and vintage, and it's hard to ignore the role of the vintage tropic rubber strap and how important it is to the world of vintage divers. I picked up these straps to pair with some of my modern (and vintage) divers, and I'm glad I did. The design is engaging, and the new leaf spring clasp has been significantly improved from prior versions, with improved finishing and a more ergonomic design.
One of those straps that make you go out shopping for watches that look good on a tropic strap. I am never wearing a regular tropic strap again. Especially convenient if you have troubles finding a good length on normal tropic straps.
