Customizing Your Watch Band | How to Order
WIDTH
Knowing and selecting the correct width is critical to the custom watch strap ordering process. If this detail is unknown then we generally perform a web search when trying to find a specific watch's lug width. For example when searching for an Omega Speedmaster Pro's lug width we would search for "Omega Speedmaster Lug Width", which can be a great starting point. You can add the specific model # to the search as well which can be even more accurate. Our website offers a "Strap Sizing Chart" that can give you the tools needed to find your specific lug width.
BUCKLE TYPE
The buckle is a very personal choice. Generally most people match the finish or material of the watch's case to the buckle, but this is not a hard fast rule. Also the general size or feel of the watch is matched here too, meaning a smaller watch might do best with a smaller INOX style buckle while a larger watch might pair best with our oval style metal buckle. Please note that we are offering our INOX POLISHED buckle for our 1 PIECE design only and it is meant to be paired with the leather keepers to create a stylish 1 PIECE vintage mil watch strap.
STITCHING COLOR
While there are many wonderful options to choose from, our top few choices would be matching to the leather, cream to give it a nice vintage look or white to offer a fresh, clean look. Black is another great option especially if you want to match the stitching to a PVD (Black) buckle. All of the other colors are a personal choice and that depends on the watch and your personality.
KEEPER
This option refers to the thin leather or metal pieces that the tip of the long strap slides into after going through the buckle, so the tip stays nice and close to your wrist. We are offering a leather keeper option but ONLY for the 1 PIECE design option. Our metal keepers option is available on both the 1 PIECE or full MILITARY design.
VENETIAN CREAM
This is our go to leather conditioner in the shop and we have been offering this product since our inception. It is still made in Chicago and they still use glass bottles with a metal cap and make one of the finest leather conditioners out there. If you have not tried it or simply do not have a leather conditioner we highly recommend adding a bottle to your collection as vintage straps do get thirsty and need conditioning from time to time.
Details
This is where you can write and add any notes that are pertinent to the order that we need to know. We generally say the more details the better.
