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.

Every leather piece is unique and might differ from the image. It is totally unique watch band and you will never meet the other the same watch band. Images are from the made to order watch bands, each is unique and is hard to repeat since all leather pieces are different in tone.

We need 5-10 business days to get the ammo watch band ready (due to extra leather oil processing).

Swiss ammo is very soft and durable. It is waterproof, however, swimming in leather bands is not recommended.

PS The watch is not included in the listing. We sell only hand-made watch band.

PPS Please, mention in comments if you prefer more orange or darker leather. This listing is for the band in a similar color and thickness. In case you want a plain band, without army stamps and holes, leave a comment when placing an order.

NB! Ammo straps are made of real vintage leather from 1900th-1980th. The leather might get dry and requires special leather care balm to avoid drying and breaking. The leather balms also increase longevity of the leather straps and make them softer. We have tested and highly recommend applying small amount of natural Smith's Balm (made of organic cocoa butter, beeswax and 100% pure sweet almond oil) weekly to the valuable Ammo watch band.
