Strap Length Guide
Basic Sizing 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 |

| G | Size of holes | 1.8mm | ||
| Number of Strap Holes | 7 | 7 | 7 | |
Advanced Sizing Guide
We are now running a trial on split size ordering. This is only recommended if you are more experienced with how leather straps wear on your wrist, and you know the specific length of straps that you require on both the long and short end.
For example, you might currently have a Medium size strap on your watch (115mm and 70mm), and you notice that the buckle sits in the middle of the wrist, but the long end of the strap is too long and can be seen when the watch is on your wrist. In such a situation, you may need a long end that's shorter than 115mm, but the buckle end of the strap should remain unchanged at 70mm. In this case, you might want to order 105mm/70mm instead of the standard 115mm/70mm.
If you are unsure what length you require for each side of the strap, we recommend sticking with the three standard sizes, Small, Medium and Large.
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
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.
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.

Another fantastic strap from Delugs! Looks awesome on the Breguet Classic 5177. Thank you!!
I like the workmanship of the alligator strap but the buckle was not a PP buckle contrary to my order.
