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
Water-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.

We understand that the Slim strap wasn’t quite the right fit for you, and our team has since arranged a replacement — swapping it out for the Signature style strap, which offers a bit more presence while still keeping things refined and comfortable. We hope the new strap is much more in line with what you were looking for!
Thanks for choosing Delugs!
Overall the quality is ok. I enjoy the nubuck grey strap the most since I don’t have much sporty watch with black bezel and white dial to let the black strap to pop. The grey one however I would like to have more option for curved grey nubuck strap. It would be great if there is an option for thickness, 20mm - 18mm buckle quick fit buckle(for reference jlc master control strap),
Thank you for your thoughtful review of the Light Grey Nubuck Slim Strap — we're glad to hear you're enjoying it, especially with your collection!
Just to share, we do offer a curved version of this strap, which might be a better fit for certain watches:
