A 20 mm lug width is the standard size for many timepieces, representing 28 per cent of all watches. To ensure you choose the correct size, measure the gap between the watch lugs using a ruler or calipers. We stock 1378 straps in this specific width on our website, meaning you can easily find a compatible replacement that fits your watch perfectly. Our range includes options made of leather, rubber, nylon, steel and fabric.
Many of these straps are equipped with quick-release spring bars. This system makes the swap completely tool-free, so you can change your strap in seconds without risking scratches to your watch case. In our current inventory, 46 per cent of the straps feature this quick-release mechanism. Prices start from 7 EUR, making it simple and affordable to refresh your watch.
