Excerpt from Strap Guide by Daniel: " This leather strap is truly a special strap to have in person. The purple is not too shouty at all, in fact it can really blend in well especially when color coordinated with the outfit. It doesn’t beg for attention at all. However, when it catches the eye, it certainly holds your gaze. In many ways, the strap makes wearing this watch feel so much more special. Not only does it add to the wrist presence of the Polerouter, but it also makes you feel special when it’s on the wrist."

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 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.
Quality piece. Color was perfect as it was matte and not overpowering. Even traded emails with owner to make sure I was getting what I wanted. Would recommend this site and the bands.
Amazing strap, exceeded expectations. Everything was seemless in the process from the order to delivery and the modified pins are amazing for self-instalation. You call yourselves a small business but the world needs more of you that still appreciate customer experience and satisfaction. The strap has brought a new dimension to a piece that I would never have considered an after market non-original strap for, but wow even the manufacturer could not compete with the look and feel. Well done and thank you.
The great selection was what got me, then the service and the quality really convinced me. We’ll definitely be ordering more. 😊
Delighted with my new strap for the Tudor Black Bay, the purple sets it off perfectly, I wasn’t too sure when I ordered this strap but very happy with the end product. I’ll be ordering this strap for all my watches!
블랙베이 58과 아주 잘 어울립니다. 굉장히 fun한 스트랩이라 미팅때 스몰토크하기 좋을거같아요.
