Finding the right strap for your Rolex watch depends on the gap between the lugs. Most models on straps01 require either a 20mm or 16mm strap. Classic dress models like the Datejust 36 suit slim leather straps that complement their gold or stainless steel cases. If you own a sporty Daytona model, robust rubber or leather options match its active character. Matching the strap style to your specific watch family preserves its original classic look.
Swapping your strap is straightforward. We fit our watch straps with quick-release spring bars to make the process completely tool-free. This allows you to change the look of your watch in seconds without scratching the metal casing. At straps01, we provide options that match the exact lug width of your watch to ensure a secure fit. Choose a buckle that matches your yellow gold, rose gold or stainless steel case for a cohesive appearance.
