How to choose the size of a watch strap or spring bars?

Changing your strap means changing your watch, especially the look of your watch.

A nylon nato will give a military or adventure look while a leather nato will give a more casual look.

A steel bracelet will give a sporty look while a leather bracelet will make everything more elegant.

All this is true and its opposite is also true. When it comes to bracelets, we believe there are no rules, but it's all about making the right choice!

How to choose the right size ?

The width of the bracelet is determined by the “lug” of your watch. The lug is the measurement between the two lugs of your watch case, this is where the bracelet is attached. It can be measured with a ruler or ideally a caliper. The gap is measured in millimeters. If you find a spacing of 20mm, then you will need to choose a size of 20mm for your bracelet.

The method is the same for choosing spring bars.

Consider installing quality lugs on your vintage watch. You can find ours here: 2 premium 316L stainless steel spring bars
