Light Grey Nubuck Strap for Cartier Tank
Chat with us now
The Cartier Tank has cemented its positioning as one of the most iconic watches of the past 100 years, and its popularity is going strong today. We are pleased to offer straps to fit the modern day Cartier Tank Must and Tank Louis Cartier, in Small, Large and Extra Large sizes.
Nubuck has a soft touch with a short and even nap. It is supple and flexible from the start, but yet has just the right amount of structure. This strap is great if you are looking for something that's casual enough for all your daily activities, soft and comfortable to the touch, and an alternative to regular leather texture.
Note: These straps will also fit other Cartier models, as long as the lug width is the same. For example, the Tank Small strap will fit the Tank Cintree, which has a 16mm lug width. It will not fit the Tank Solo models, which come in different lug widths.
Note: Delugs is not affiliated with watch brands such as Cartier, and the strap was developed independently by Delugs. Intellectual property rights of watches, visuals, trademarks, names and logos belong respectively to each related watch brand.

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.
Chrome Tanned
The animal hide is turned into leather through a tanning process that uses chromium salts and tanning liquors. Chrome-tan is a more industrial tanning process, and the resultant leather is typically more pliable, with greater water-resistance and scratch-resistance properties. Chrome-tanned leather are generally also available in a wider range of colours.
The strap was very nice with high quality leather and workmanship, but one of the lug width was smaller than intended. The spring bar shows through the gap which Is not pleasant to look at. I emailed twice about this matter, but I haven’t heard anything. If this was resolved smoothly, I was going to give 5 stars, but very disappointed since my emails were just ignored
Hi Jae. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you were happy with the leather and workmanship, though we’re sorry about the issue you experienced with the strap.

Upon checking our previous conversation, we’ve already arranged for a replacement strap to be sent your way, and we hope this helps make things right. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’ll continue working on improving both our products and communication. Thanks again for your support, and we hope the new strap serves you well.
Overall great product and feels premium. However the color is much lighter in person and almost has a blue hue to it. The pictures are much darker than in person.
Hi Richard. Thanks so much for your feedback! We're happy to hear you find the Light Grey Nubuck Strap to feel premium.
We completely understand your concern about the color being lighter in person and having a slight blue hue. While we strive to represent the color as accurately as possible in the photos on our website, sometimes lighting and screen settings can cause slight differences. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’ll definitely keep it in mind for future product photography.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
Superb strap!
Needed something that was more casual and fit better than the black leather strap that came with my tank. Even the smallest hole was far too loose for me on the standard Black leather Cartier strap. I was afraid of how well the grey would go with all my outfits, but I love the color and feel of the grey nubuck. I got the small length and probably should've sized up to a medium length, but I'll just have to remedy this when I buy my next Delugs strap soon!
very good
