Sizing Guide

Sizing Guide

Which size should I pick for my watch?

The Lug width refers to the distance where the strap connects with the watch and the buckle width refers to the width of the strap required to fit in between the buckle.

Our strap sizes are displayed in the following format format: Lug Width/Buckle Width

For example, if the lug width of my watch is 19mm, and the buckle width is 16mm, the correct size I would need to select is 19mm/16mm 

How long should my strap be?

While everyone’s preference for their strap lengths may differ, we don’t like our straps to be too long. A good indicator of whether a strap is too long is if the tail of the strap is visible on your wrist.  

Method 1: Measuring Your Wrist Size

  

To measure your wrist size, use a thin piece of paper, measuring tape, masking tape or string. Wrap a piece of paper around your wrist and mark where it meets the other end of the paper. Lay this piece of paper down flat and measure the total length of paper. This is your wrist size. 

Method 2: Measuring an existing strap that fits 

One quick way of finding your strap length is to measure the length of a strap you currently have. Sum up the two lengths of the long and short sides of the strap (i.e 120mm and 80mm = 200mm)  If you feel the existing strap is too long or too short, adjust the length accordingly.

Our standard sizes 

Extra Small: 95mm/65mm fits a wrist size of 5.25 - 6.0 inches 
Small: 105mm/70mm fits a wrist size of 6 - 6.75 inches 
Standard: 115mm/75mm fits a wrist size of 6.5 inches to 7.2 inches
Large: 125mm/80mm fits a wrist size of 7.2 inches to 8.25 inches
Custom: We can accomodate custom lengths for made-to-order straps

Looking for classic black smooth calfskin? Barenia (also known as Novonappa) is one of the softest and most supple french calf leathers you will come across.

Our Barenia French Calf is a combination-tanned leather from the Tannery Haas, near the river Rhine and in the alpine regions of France.  


  • Leather: Novonappa/Barenia
  • Stitching Colour: Black 
  • Strap Thickness:  4.5mm at lugs, tapers to 2.2mm
  • Temper: Soft
  • Surface: Smooth
  • Patina: Yes 
  • Water Resistance: Low. To ensure longevity, avoid moisture or soaking our straps in water.


The sizing is in the format as follows: (LUG WIDTH/BUCKLE WIDTH)

  • The lug width refers to the width of the strap at the lugs (where it connects to the watch).
  • The buckle width refers to the width of the strap at the buckle or clasp.

For the strap length:

  • Short: 105mm/70mm will suit a 145 mm - 167.5 mm wrist size. (5.7 - 6.7 inches)
  • Standard: 115mm/75mm will suit a 162.5mm - 182.5mm wrist size. (6.4 - 7.1 inches)
  • Long: 125mm/80mm will suit a 182.5 mm - 212.5 mm wrist size. (7.1 - 8.2 inches)

With our leather straps, we recommend avoiding prolonged contact with, and submerging the strap in water. While our leathers may have strong water resistance on the surface, water may seep through the core of the strap through the stitching holes causing damage. As a result, we strongly recommend avoiding getting our leather straps wet.

The Gold Standard for Leather Watch Straps

All of our watch straps are entirely handmade, utilising traditional leather crafting techniques. They are cut, saddle stitched and edge painted by hand to ensure your straps are durable and refined. All of our straps are lined with Zermatt leather, a hypoallergenic and water-resistant french calf leather. As all our leathers are full-grain leathers, the natural characteristics of the leather will show and may vary across straps.

Strap review Black Novonappa

The whole experience with Artisn Straps has been brilliant, initial communication, responsiveness to questions via the chat function, assistance with decisioning and then the short delivery time and ultimately quality of construction were awesome. Plainly evident that this company takes pride in both its work and customer engagement. The strap is awesome, though something to consider (which is by no means a negative reflection on the product) the tapering on the ready-to-wear band of 20mm-16mm can visually make the band look a little small if you have a medium to large wrist. I had it on my 43.5 Bulova and it did not look proportional given the bigger watch face (for my taste). On my Alpinist it worked okay given the smaller sizing, however if you like a bigger band/strap then something to be aware of when ordering. Luckily they offer the custom made solution and you can reduce the taper to 20mm-18mm vs. The standard 16mm...again, this is a good service point!

Soft & Supple Leather Strap

Extremely impressed with the Black Barenia Calf leather strap from Artisan. I had been looking for a 21mm black padded watch strap and am so happy I went with Artisan. Excellent fit, finish, and craftsmanship.
