Should You Choose an 18mm Watch Strap?

If you're wondering whether an 18mm watch strap is the right fit for you, here’s a simple guide to help you decide.

Measuring Your Watch

First, you need to measure the width of your watch's lug—the part of the watch case where the strap attaches. Most watches have this measurement printed on the back of the watch or in the manual. If not, you can easily measure it yourself with a ruler. Simply measure the distance between the two lugs on either side of your watch case. If this measurement is 18mm, then you need an 18mm watch strap.

Rule of Thumb (or Wrist…)

An 18mm strap is generally perfect for watches with smaller, more refined dials, typically between 36mm and 40mm in diameter. It’s a common size for dress watches and those with a more classic design.

Remember, the right strap size ensures your watch sits comfortably on your wrist and looks proportional. So, if your lug width measures 18mm, you’re on the right track with our 18mm watch straps. They’ll provide a perfect fit, enhancing both the appearance and comfort of your timepiece. 

With bands in brown leather, nylon and rubber and stainless steel hardware available with black, rose gold, bronze, gold and silver finishes, you’re sure to find the perfect strap in our range.
