A completely different watch with a new strap

Posted 27 January 2021 by Miriam Reading time approximately 5 minutes

As we always say: a new watch strap can give your watch a completely different look. That is why it is super handy that we have a huge database of watch straps in which you can find replacement straps and clasps for most watch brands that we sell. You only have to enter the code on the back of your watch and we will show you which straps and bracelets fit your watch.

Is your watch band worn out, or are you just in the mood for something new? With a replacement watch strap from our collection you'll have a "new" watch in no time.

Seeing is believing; Below we have collected a few examples for you.

 

Trendy update with a mesh band

Give your watch a trendy update with a mesh strap. This type of bracelet is super fashionable and also feels very good on your wrist. For example with this Bering design watch. With a small screwdriver you can change the strap in no time!

Extra comfort with a silicone rubber strap

With many diving watches you have a choice of a metal or a rubber strap. Metal is a bit more businesslike, for example when you wear a suit, and silicone rubber is practical in (sea) water.

If you own a Citizen watch with a steel or titanium strap you can usually find a silicone alternative. The watch immediately looks a lot sportier!

You can easily remove the push bar that holds the strap in place with a strap changing tool

A new look for your old watch

Not only do you get a different look by changing the material of your watch strap, a different colour can also make a huge difference! For example with this classic Hugo Boss watch or this trendy Tommy Hilfiger. The colour of the strap even has a subtle effect on the colour of the dial!

Pay attention to the shape of the strap mount

Before you buy a new watch strap, it is good to check how wide your strap is and what shape the strap mount is. If the end is straight, (almost) all other straps of the same width will fit your watch. With watches where the strap mount is not straight, only straps that are specifically intended for that watch will fit. You measure the width of your strap between the lugs.

Danish Design watch straps usually have a straight mount. This way you have a wide choice of different straps and bracelets.

Even easier to change your strap with easy click

To make it even easier for you to customize the look of your watch, straps from more and more brands come with an "Easy-click" system. For example these  Fossil and Michael Kors watch straps. This way you have a completely different watch in a few seconds!

A new clasp for your watch strap

Some watch brands supply watch straps without a clasp or buckle so the customer can choose which type of closure is preferred. Tissot, for example, offers various watch clasps to personalize your watch even further.

On our watch clasps page you will find a wide choice of universal buckles and folding clasps that fit straps of different brands.

 

Even more watch straps

In the rare case that you cannot find a replacement watch strap for your watch, but your watch does have a straight mount, you can opt for a universal watch strap. We also have a wide choice in universal straps and bracelets. From handmade Italian leather straps to budget straps and luxury straps made of real crocodile or snake leather for the enthusiast.
