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.

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.Â

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.
Great quality, will definitely be ordering more straps from hers, quick delivery as well!
After buying a Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve (sight unseen) I immediately knew it was going to be a great addition to my collection but the black leather strap that came on the watch just didn’t show off the vintage champagne colored dial and yellow gold hands and indices the way it should. After looking at a lot of sites I settled on the Matte Mahogany Alligator Signature Strap and wow, what a difference! It is a deep mahogany/chestnut color that just looks like it belongs on the Vintage Longines watch. I can almost picture this combination on my grandfather’s wrist. The craftsmanship is apparent from every angle. I just don’t want it to ever wear out!
Ordered Items: I ordered two straps Matte Mahogany Alligator Signature Strap & Matte Navy Alligator Signature Strap both with Butterfly Deployant Clasp for my Omega Constellation Globemaster.
Strap Quality: The quality of the watch strap is pretty luxury, the leather used is visually equal to the OEM strap. The fit is perfectly fine between the lug, although the thickness of the Strap within the lug is more in the Omega OEM strap when compared to the Delgus strap. The strap seems to be artistically crafted, details are very well taken care-off.
Deployment Clasp Quality: The deployment clasp is a good quality one as well, stainless steel and non-magnetic.
Packaging & Transportation: Packaging of the product during transportation is so good that it can be used to preserve the Delgus strap for future. Impressive packaging Delgus Team !
Future Plans: I am encouraged by the visual & feel of the quality of the product that I am planning to procure the strap folio for better strap storage & management along with watch storage options.
Cordialement: I wish the Delgus team continues to maintain the quality standards. and, wish them success to grow. You have definitely added me as your regular customer.
This is my second strap from Delugs and both are outstanding. They look and feel fantastic. Delivery was fast and customer service is very responsive.
Leather was soft with superb craftsmanship! Very glad to have made my first purchase and am already looking forward to my next! :) thank you delugs and team!
