Elastic Loop Green/Yellow

Sizing Guide

There are two methods to determining the size you should get for the Elastic Loop. Method 1 is based solely off your wrist size, and Method 2 is based off your wrist size and watch size.

Note: As the Elastic Loop is based on a fixed size with no adjustments possible, sizing can be tricky. Ultimately, the information provided here is just a guide based on the best knowledge that we have. Different watches, different body type, and different wearing conditions will result in slight differences in how the Elastic Loop will fit for you. If you are still uncertain about the size to get even after reading through this guide, we recommend that you purchase the Elastic Loop Sizing Kit, which should give you a good sense of the size that best fits your wrist.

Method 1

This method recommends the Elastic Loop size to get based only on your wrist size, and assuming an average sized watch of around 45-48mm lug-to-lug distance.

• Wrist Size <150mm: 110mm
• Wrist Size 150mm - 160mm: 120mm
• Wrist Size 160mm - 170mm: 130mm
• Wrist Size 170mm - 180mm: 140mm
• Wrist Size 180mm - 190mm: 150mm
• Wrist Size > 190mm: 160mm

Method 2

This method recommends the Elastic Loop size to get based on both your wrist size and watch lug-to-lug distance. Follow these steps to determine the size that you need to get for your Elastic Loop.

1. Find out your wrist size (in mm). Use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of your wrist, at the spot where you would wear your watch.
2. Find out the lug-to-lug distance of your watch (Google "<your watch model> lug-to-lug distance" and you should have the distance)
3. Subtract the lug-to-lug distance from your wrist size, and add 10mm (this is to account for the distance between the lug holes and end of case, the distance between the spring bars to the end of strap, and extra allowance for watch cases that do not hug the wrist perfectly). That's the ideal strap length that you need.
4. Round off to the nearest length (110, 120, 130, 140, 150 or 160) for the actual strap length that you should get. If you are between sizes, we recommend you to size up.

Example 1

1. Wrist Size: 165mm
2. Omega Speedmaster Professional, lug-to-lug distance: 47mm
3. Ideal Strap Length: 165mm - 47mm + 10mm = 128mm
4. Actual Strap Length: 130mm (recommended)

Example 2

1. Wrist Size: 150mm
2. Lange Saxonia 37mm, lug-to-lug distance: 43mm
3. Ideal Strap Length: 150mm - 43mm + 10mm = 113mm
4. Actual Strap Length: 120mm (recommended to size up)

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
