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.

Variant

Our Novonappa® (Barenia) French Calf is a combination-tanned leather from the Tannery Haas, near the river Rhine and in the alpine regions of France. Novonappa® French Calf is famous for its incredibly soft and smooth matte texture. This leather has excellent recovery against mild water stains and light scratches, making it a favourite for watch straps.

Tannery: Haas, France
Temper: Soft
Surface: Smooth matte
Patina: Medium
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 leathercrafting techniques. They are cut, saddle stitched and edge painted by hand to ensure your straps are durable and develop character with wear. 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.

Click here to learn about the crafting of our leather watch straps.

Hypoallergenic Calfskin Lining

In order to provide a luxurious feel, the straps are lined with Zermatt calfskin leather from Haas Tannery. This premium material is specially developed for use as a lining material and offers exceptional softness and comfort. It is also water and sweat-resistant, making it ideal for use in hot and humid climates.

Fine Hand Stitching

Our made-to-order straps showcase a fine hand-stitching density. With a spacing of 2.4mm per stitch, this creates a very refined look. Should you wish to go for a more rugged look, we also offer thicker thread and wider density stitching at 2.7mm and 3.0mm.

Strap Thickness

Our standard unpadded strap thickness is 2.2mm and padded strap thickness tapers from 4.5mm to 2.2mm. We are able to customise the thickness of the strap accordingly.

316L Stainless Steel Buckle

Our straps comes installed with a 316L stainless steel buckle which is engraved with our Artisan Straps logo. This buckle comes with drilled lug holes allowing for easy removal without damaging the strap.

Spring Bars

Choose between regular spring bars, quick-release spring bars or no spring bars. While quick-release spring bars are our preference as we love to change straps, we also understand it's not everyones cup of tea!

Smooth & Polished Edges

The edges of our straps are finished with Italian edge paint - sealing the raw edges from wear and tear. With over 5 layers of edge paint applied and rigorous sanding in between, our straps exhibit a beautiful smooth edge.

Tan nappa for my nomos

Absolutely stunning strap, soft and supple and a great colour.
Complements the dial of my Nomos perfectly

Thank you for the recommendation Jayson and love your work as always

Such high quality and such amazing customer service!

As always - amazing craftsmanship by the team at Artisan Straps. All of my queries were handled very professionally and I cannot fault the communication, period. It was one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had - from asking question after questions, Jayson was able to answer all of it for me.

I'm going through a tough time in my life, yet these watch straps have brightened my day, each time a new one has arrived. I just have one final purchase for now - likely this Novonappa again but in black. That's how much I adore this particular strap!

See the photo to have a look at it on my Stowa Flieger Classic 40mm - it just makes the dial "pop". I cannot wait to order my next strap from this incredible business. Truly, top job guys, you're doing amazing work.

And the quick release spring bars are a dream - I can go from a casual blue in the morning, to this brown strap for drinks with friends, to my dark navy ostrich strap for dinner. Changing the strap takes two minutes, max. I do not miss traditional spring bars!

Ok, that's all for now. I could go and on, I'm just blown away by the quality of the products and the level of customer service. Thank you so much.
