Choosing the correct proportions is essential to comfort, balance, and long-term wear. This guide gives a general framework to help with your decision. Every strap can be tailored to your measurements.
FULLY CUSTOM — ALWAYS
Every strap can be made according to your selected:
- Length
- Lug width
- Buckle width
- Taper
- Stitching
- Edge finish
- Thickness profile
If you are unsure which proportions will suit your watch or wrist, you are welcome to contact me before the strap is made. I can advise based on your watch model, wrist size, and preferred fit.
5MM THICKNESS — BOLD
Best suited to larger watches and a stronger wrist presence. Most commonly paired with 42mm+ tool and professional watches, including Panerai, IWC, Breitling, Omega, Hublot, Zenith, and similar designs. Recommended for wrists from 16 cm, with proportions adjusted when needed for balance and comfort.
4MM THICKNESS — VERSATILE
A balanced option for durability, comfort, and daily wear. Well suited to watches in the 38–44mm range, including Rolex, Omega, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Grand Seiko, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, Blancpain, and similar timepieces.
3MM THICKNESS — SLIM
Designed for dress watches, vintage cases, and smaller proportions. Best suited to watches around 36–38mm, or any watch where a lower profile is preferred. The construction remains durable for regular wear.
