Sizing Guide
Measure the lug width, choose the right length, check compatibility, and pick the best material: everything you need to order the perfect strap for your watch.
- Key measurement
Start with the lug width.
The lug width is the distance between the two lugs of the case. It's measured in millimeters, right where the strap attaches to the watch. This measurement determines the strap width, not your wrist size.
The most common sizes are 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 mm. Use a precise ruler or calipers to measure the gap at the attachment point. If you're between two sizes or your watch uses an integrated system, send us the exact reference and we'll verify before guiding you.
Check the length
A slimmer wrist usually calls for a short length, while a larger wrist works better with a standard or long option. Comfort on the wrist matters more than how it looks lying flat.
Check the buckle
Some watches use a deployant clasp or a proprietary system. In that case, buckle compatibility needs to be confirmed.
Send us the reference
The exact watch reference is often enough to confirm the size. Our team can guide you before you order.
