Chat with us now
Straps sold in Overstock are final and no returns or refunds will be accepted, unless there was a functional defect that prevents the strap from being used.
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.
Chevre leather from Alran tannery is most often used in small leather goods. The beauty of Alran Chevre is in the texture and grain. It has a slight pebbled texture that is very smooth to the touch, making any product immediately look luxurious. The pebbled surface on Chevre is formed naturally from the raw goat leather and the tanning process, and not embossed on. It also has fine pebbled grain patterns and is slightly shiny. Chevre has very strong water and scratch-resistant properties.
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.
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.
Absolutely loving this new strap!! Super high quality, soft leather and perfect sizing for my Tank Must XL! 🩵🩵🩵 My only request? With a 7-3/4” to 8” wrist, I have the long size strap and wish it was a bit longer (on the 2nd to last hole). I also wish DeLugs had more options for the Tank Must XL long size straps - how about some orange/green/pink/purple/yellow?
The quality of the straps is fantastic but make sure you know the exact measurement before ordering! I made the mistake of ordering before the watch actually arrived and so I used the sizing guidelines which state "Wrist size of 16.5cm - 19.0cm : Medium". My wrist size is 18cm and the Medium size straps barely fit me on the very last hole and it's not even summer. When the wrist expands during periods of heat I definitely won't be able to use them.
Excellent strap and the colour really pops in the sunlight. Really comfortable and top quality.
The Tiffany Blue Chevre Cartier Tank Strap is a perfect fit on my Cartier Tank Must XL ref WSTA0040. It is gorgeous and I prefer the comfort of a regular pin buckle strap over a deployment since I work at a desk all day. I'm looking forward to strolling into the Tiffany boutique with this on ;)
