This gentle transformation is one of the quiet pleasures of owning truly fine leather, and it only enhances its sense of depth and character. Over time, the strap gains a wonderful sense of presence.

How to Determine Your Watch's Lug Width

Finding the right size for your watch involves a few simple methods:

1. Online Research: A quick Google search for your watch's brand and specific model alongside the phrase "lug width" will often bring up the specs from official site or reputable watch platforms. Keep in mind that sister models within the same collection can feature different dimensions, so verification is key.

2. Caliper Measurement: For the most reliable results, utilize a pair of calipers to get an exact reading of the gap between the lugs.

3. Standard Ruler: Alternatively, a regular ruler works too. Just ensure you align the grid marks perfectly with the inside edges of the lugs to minimize error.

Important Note for Vintage Timepieces
If you are shopping for a Delugs strap to pair with a vintage piece, please reach out to our Customer Support before finalizing your order. Vintage watches often feature unconventional metrics (like 17.5mm) or shallow spring bar holes, which might lead to the strap slipping off even if the width seems correct. Our specialists are ready to guide you toward the safest setup.

Sizing Guide & Customization
Lug sizes are almost always whole millimeters. While the industry standard usually ranges from 18mm to 22mm, watches can be as narrow as 8mm or as wide as 32mm.
Our off-the-shelf strap inventory covers the following sizes: 16mm-26mm

Should your watch require something outside this range, you can always opt for our Bespoke Service. When purchasing, simply match the strap size to your measurement. For instance, a 20mm lug spacing means you should add a "20-16" strap to your cart.
