Strap Size

Finding your strap size can be quite confusing so we've dumbed it down to make it super easy for you.

Method 1Smartwatches:

Smartwatches are usually the easiest to find as they will have a number on the back of your strap to tell you what size strap it uses. 

The strap width refers to the size that fits your watch and NOT the length of the strap. For many smartwatches, the easiest way to check is by flipping your watch.

Most smartwatches should say 18, 20 or 22 on the back of your strap. For example, if the back says 20, this means you will need a 20mm strap! It's that easy!

If your watch does not have this, you may need to use the links below to find the correct size.

Method 2: Using a Ruler 

The easiest and most accurate way to find your strap size is to use a ruler and measure between the lugs. This is known as the lug width. This is also the same as the strap width.

The lugs are the pointy ends of your watch which hold the strap onto the watch.

The above picture shows four lugs. The red line is where you measure which will tell you the strap width.
Now, with a ruler or tape measure, measure between the top or bottom set of lugs as pictured below:

 

Find your watch strap size

 

As you can see, we've measured this two ways, the top measuring device shows 22mm, but also, the bottom tape measure measures 22mm.

This means in our store, you would select a 22mm strap! That's it!

We do NOT recommend using camera ruler apps on your phone to measure. These can be inaccurate as a 1mm difference is enough for the strap to not fit to your watch.

PS: Our straps will measure slightly narrower than 22mm so that it fits to your watch! This means our straps will actually measure 21.9mm to fit your 22mm lugs. 

If the concept of lug width is too confusing, you can see in the diagram below, the lug width and strap width of A are the same. This means, you can also measure the top of the strap where the A is marked. Do not measure anywhere else along the strap as you can see it tapers (narrows) as you get lower on the strap.

Method 3: The Lazy Method:

What you will need:
- Your watch brand
- Your watch model number, year, name (model numbers are ideal because a manufacturer may change the size between different model numbers)

What you need to know:
This method works best for the more 'popular' brands/models. If you don't have the exact specifics of the watch - do not use this method.

Go to Google and in the search field, type the following:

(BRAND) (YEAR / MODEL NAME/NUMBER) Lug Width

Example 1:

Rolex 2016 Submariner 114060 Lug Width

Example 2:

Daniel Wellington 2019 Cornwall lug width

You will be able to find different websites which will state the lug width of the watch you are looking for. Here's an example of what to look for:

 

Note: if you have an odd numbered strap size, for example, a 21mm lug width, you can use a 20mm strap on your watch. This will mean there will be a 1mm gap however.

If no results come up, you can also use the same search terms but changing lug width to strap width

Example 1:

Rolex 2016 Submariner 114060 Strap Width

Example 2:

Daniel Wellington 2019 Cornwall Strap Width

Uncle's notes

While I love wearing my Speedmaster, there was something about the bracelet that just wasn't right with me. For some reason between the removable links and micro-adjustments I was still unable to achieve the perfect fit. Add to that I am a vintage guy at heart and the stock bracelet just looks too modern to me. So, I decided to take the plunge and make remake some of the classic models for a new generation of Omega lovers. 

Please note - we cannot guarantee compatibility with special edition Speedmaster's.

Installation tips

Mounting these can be a challenge because the opening is somewhat narrow. I have found it is easier to flip the watch over and mount from the underside. Make sure you have the proper spring-bar tool to help guide those bars into place!

A couple of guys mentioned that they love the vintage pressure clasp, but wish it had a bit more "snap" when securing it. You can adjust the tension by slightly moving the small tab on the inside of the clasp. Moving it toward the hinge (away from the bracelet) very slightly will make it harder to close and create the desired effect. Again, a tiny adjustment with needle-nose pliers and check, repeating if needed. (See last picture).
