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 trusted online sources.
- Next, you can use a pair of callipers to measure your watch's lug width. Keeping in mind that different references under the same collection can have varying lug widths, it's always best to double-check.
- Alternatively, you can use a ruler to measure your watch's lug width. Make sure the ruler's marks line up with the inner edge of the lugs for the best accuracy.
If you're searching for a Delugs strap to use with a vintage watch, be sure to check in with our Customer Service. Vintage watches sometimes use odd widths (17.5mm) or have shallow spring bar plots. This can increase the likelihood of slippage, even with the correct strap installed. Our trained staff will advise on the best course of action for a perfect fit.
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
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.
Distinctive Texture
The leather used has naturally formed grains, and thus there will be some variance in terms of how every strap looks. The photos provided in the listing are just one example of how the strap might look.
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.
Strap is well-made; stitching, edging, buckle finish, and alligator leather are all top notch. Looks perfect on my White Birch GS. Very Happy!
Great quality
Great replacement strap for my watch.
The strap is a little tight. Perhaps it will stretch.
If not, I will order the larger size so that the watch is not si tight around my wrist.
Otherwise, I like the fact that the strap can be easily replaced and that it looks so nice.
I am not sure whether the strap is genuine leather or "leatherette".
I love this strap!
