How to Measure Watch Strap Size
Ensuring the perfect fit for your watch strap starts with accurate measurements. Follow this guide to measure your watch strap correctly.
A. Lug Width
The lug width is the distance between the lugs where the strap connects to your watch.
- Direct Measurement: Use a rigid ruler or caliper to measure the lug width in millimeters. Avoid using a soft tape measure to prevent inaccuracies.
- Reference Your Current Strap: Many leather straps display two numbers (e.g., “20-18”), where the first number (20) indicates the lug width and the second (18) denotes the buckle width.
B. Buckle Width
The buckle width is the part of the strap where the buckle attaches. Most of our straps come with matching buckles. If you plan to use your original buckle, ensure that the new strap’s buckle end width is compatible.
C & D. Strap Length
Watch strap length consists of two parts: the hole section and the buckle section. Lay your current strap flat and measure each segment (excluding the buckle).
Custom Service
If you need a special length or have unique lug dimensions, we offer custom straps. Provide your lug width, buckle width, and wrist circumference—or the length of your existing strap—in your order notes or via email.
Important Tips:
- Use precise measuring tools like a ruler or caliper.
- Always measure in millimeters (mm) to match standard strap specifications.
- If unsure, consult a professional or contact our customer service.
By following these steps, you can ensure your watch strap fits perfectly, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics.
