Size Guide For Parachute Straps, Hook and Loop Nylon Velcro Straps
Watch Strap Size and Fit Guide
Two measurements pick the right strap: your watch's lug width and your wrist size.

Jump to your strap:
Step 1: Measure Your Lug Width
Measure the gap between your watch's lugs, from the inside edge of one lug to the inside edge of the other, in millimeters. That number is the strap width you need. Calipers give the most accurate reading, and most watch manufacturers list lug width in the watch's specifications. Each strap below lists the widths it comes in, so order the width that matches your watch.
Step 2: Measure Your Wrist
Wrap a flexible tape measure around your wrist where the watch sits, just above the wrist bone. No tape measure? Wrap a strip of paper around your wrist, mark where it overlaps, and measure the strip against a ruler. Then check that your measurement falls inside the wrist fit range for your strap.

Details and Specifications
The Seals Watch Co. Nylon Hook-and-Loop Watch Strap is a 20mm single-pass strap made from woven nylon webbing with no stretch, a hook-and-loop closure, and a brushed stainless steel keeper. It measures 10.50 inches (267mm) in total length, fits wrists from 6 to 8.5 inches, and includes two 20mm spring bars and a Seals Watch Co. microfiber cloth.
A Strap for the Watch You Actually Wear
Most of us come to fabric straps the same way. The bracelet comes off for a summer, the watch suddenly weighs nothing, and the bracelet spends the rest of the year in a drawer. Tool watch owners have been doing this for decades, mostly because a good woven strap is light, breathable, and very hard to ruin.
The striped versions borrow from the Marine Nationale straps French Navy combat divers cut from parachute elastic in the 1960s and '70s. We kept the stripe and the steel hardware. In place of elastic, this strap uses dense woven nylon, and the fit comes from a hook-and-loop fastener. Snug it down on a hot afternoon or open it up over a jacket cuff without hunting for the right hole.
Built Like Gear
Every detail is made for regular use. The nylon wraps securely around the brushed steel keeper and is reinforced with a box-X stitch, a proven construction method used to strengthen webbing at high-stress connection points. The hook-and-loop tab is finished with rounded corners and perimeter stitching to help it stay flat, resist fraying, and slide cleanly under a cuff. On striped versions, the stripe is woven directly into the nylon rather than printed on the surface, so there is nothing to peel, crack, or wear away with exposure to sun, water, and everyday use.
Pairing Notes
Navy with Grey Stripe
Tonal navy stitching keeps this one quiet. It pairs with blue, grey, black, and white dials and looks right against brushed steel. If you plan to own one fabric strap, start here.
Olive with Red Stripe
Olive webbing, a red-orange stripe, and tan contrast stitching. Put it on a field watch or a black-dial diver and it adds a hit of color that still reads as serious equipment.
On the Wrist
Woven nylon breathes, which is why it stays comfortable in the heat. It handles water and dries quickly after a swim. As a single-pass strap, it threads through both spring bars and runs under the case as one layer. With the included spring bars, a strap change takes a couple of minutes, and the Seals Watch Co. microfiber cloth takes care of the fingerprints you'll leave on the case along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What watches does this strap fit?
Any watch with a standard 20mm lug width. The strap is offered only in 20mm. To check your watch, measure the gap between the lugs where the strap meets the case.
How long is the strap?
The strap is 10.50 inches (267mm) long and fits wrists from 6 to 8.5 inches (15.2 to 21.6 cm). The hook-and-loop closure lets you set the fit anywhere in that range.
Is this a single-pass strap?
Yes. It threads through both spring bars and runs under the case as a single layer of nylon.
Is this a Velcro watch strap?
It uses a hook-and-loop fastener, the same type of closure many people call Velcro.
Is the strap elastic?
No. It is woven nylon with no stretch, and the hook-and-loop closure sets the fit. If you want stretch, see our elastic parachute straps.
Can I swim with it?
Yes. Nylon and hook-and-loop both handle water. Rinse the strap with fresh water after salt water or chlorine and let it air dry. Skipping a rinse now and then won't hurt it, but a regular fresh water rinse keeps it looking its best.
