Straps by lug width

Lug width is the gap between your watch’s lugs, and the one number a strap has to match. Most watches take 18, 20 or 22 mm. Pick your width to see every watch that shares it.

How to measure lug width

Measure between the inside faces of the lugs, where the strap’s spring bar sits, in millimeters. Most brands publish it; if yours doesn’t, a ruler is accurate enough because widths come in whole millimeters, nearly always even ones.
