How to Measure Watch Strap Size: Complete Guide
Choosing the right watch strap size is essential for a secure, comfortable, and polished fit. Please refer to the letters (A, B, C, D) in the diagram above while following this guide to measure your watch strap accurately in millimeters.
A. Measure Watch Lug Width (Refer to A in diagram above)
The lug width [A] is the distance between the two lugs on your watch case where the strap attaches. It is the most important measurement when selecting a replacement watch strap.
-
How to measure lug width:
- Use a rigid ruler, digital caliper, or vernier caliper.
- Measure the inside distance between the watch lugs.
- Record the measurement in millimeters (mm).
- Avoid using a soft tape measure, as it can bend and produce an inaccurate result.
-
Check your existing watch strap:
- Many leather watch straps show two sizes, such as 20/18 mm or 20-18 mm:
- The first number (e.g., 20 mm) is the lug width [A].
- The second number (e.g., 18 mm) is the buckle width [B].
- For example, a 20/18 mm strap fits a watch with a 20 mm lug width and tapers to 18 mm at the buckle.
- Many leather watch straps show two sizes, such as 20/18 mm or 20-18 mm:
B. Measure Buckle Width (Refer to B in diagram above)
The buckle width [B] is the width of the strap end where the buckle is attached.
- Most of our watch straps include a matching buckle. However, if you want to reuse your original buckle, make sure your new strap has the same buckle-end width.
- For example, if your original buckle is 18 mm wide, choose a strap with an 18 mm buckle width.
C & D. Measure Watch Strap Length (Refer to C & D in diagram above)
A standard watch strap consists of two distinct sections:
- C. Hole Section Length: The longer end with adjustment holes.
- D. Buckle Section Length: The shorter end that attaches to the buckle.
- How to measure length: Lay your current strap flat and measure each section separately. Do not include the buckle in your measurement.
- Watch strap length is usually displayed as two numbers, such as 120/75 mm:
- 120 mm: Hole section length [C]
- 75 mm: Buckle section length [D]
- For the best fit, compare these measurements with your current strap and consider your wrist circumference.

Important Tips for Measuring Watch Straps
- Always measure watch strap dimensions in millimeters (mm).
- Use a ruler or caliper for the most accurate results.
- Confirm your lug width [A] before ordering a replacement strap.
- Reuse your original buckle only if its width [B] matches the new strap.
- If you are unsure about your watch strap size, contact our customer service or consult a watch professional.
