Watch Strap Size Chart and Measuring Instructions

Step 1: Measure Lug Width

  • Using a ruler or caliper, measure the width of the space between the lugs of your watch where the strap will attach. This measurement will determine the lug width.

Step 2: Measure Wrist Size

  • Wrap a flexible measuring tape or string snugly around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
  • Note the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 3: Determine Strap Length

  • Measure the distance between the lug ends of your watch to determine the ideal strap length. This measurement should correspond to your wrist size and desired fit.
  • For a comfortable fit, add 1,5 to 2 inches (3.5 to 5 centimeters) to your wrist size measurement.

Step 4: Consult the Size Chart

Tapered sizes: 

Tapered size refers to a gradual reduction in watch strap width from one end to the other. In the context of watch straps, a tapered design typically features a wider width near the lug attachment point of the watch and gradually narrows towards the buckle or clasp end. This tapered shape not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the strap but also offers a comfortable fit, ensuring it conforms smoothly to the wrist. Tapered straps are often favored for their stylish look and ergonomic design, providing a sleek and refined appearance when paired with various timepieces.

Please Note:

The wrist size mentioned refers to the circumference of your wrist at the location where you typically wear your watch.

The length guide provided is approximate and applies to the straps depicted in the images. Variations in fit may arise due to variances in wrist shapes, buckle or clasp types, and differences in watch case sizes or shapes, which cannot be entirely accounted for.

Additionally, individual differences in hand size and structure may further influence fit.

Do not hesitate to contact us prior to order placing i case of any questons related to custom order sizing.

Free custom color stitching.

The watchband is hand-stitched with waxed French lin. Feel free to customize stitching color. We use Fil Au Chinois Lin Cable. Imported from France and founded in 1903. The Fil Au Chinois waxed linen thread is used by the most luxurious leather accessory brands in Europe and the world. Cable linen is twisted linen that is assembled a second time, moistened, lightly waxed, and re-twisted. This moistening prevents the linen fibers from distorting and makes it highly durable.

Strap edges are dyed with Italian edge paint, fitting the leather color. In case you wish the edge color to be customized, please, contact me in advance for agreeing on the edge color.

All alligator skins are sourced in compliance with EU regulations.
