Strap and buckle sizing
How to size a replacement watch strap: the lug width that sets the strap size, the taper that sets the buckle size, and the length that fits the wrist.
Measure the lug width
Lug width is the gap between the lugs where the strap attaches, measured inside edge to inside edge in millimetres. It is the strap size to order: a 20 mm gap takes a 20 mm strap. Calipers give the most accurate reading; with the old strap off, close the inside jaws between the lugs at the spring bar. The width is often stamped on the back of the old strap.
Taper and buckle width
Most leather straps narrow from the watch toward the buckle. Sizes are written as two numbers, lug width then buckle width: a 20/18 strap is 20 mm at the watch and 18 mm at the buckle. Only the first number has to match the watch. A replacement buckle must match the second number, the width of the strap's tail end.
Strap length
Two-piece strap lengths are written as long side / short side, such as 120/75 mm, and neither number includes the buckle. To size one, measure the wrist with a tape measure or a strip of paper where the watch is worn. A regular 120/75 mm strap generally suits wrists of about 6.5 to 7.5 in (16.5 to 19 cm); larger wrists need an extra-long strap. Lengths vary by maker, so compare the listed lengths when you can.

|---|---|

Tapers vary by maker. Measure the tail end of the strap before ordering a buckle.
