Design Your Strap
Every step changes how it feels on your wrist. Build it the way you want.
Lug & Buckle Width
Lug width is the gap between the two lugs of your watch case, where the strap fits. Your strap has to match it exactly.
Most watches are 18, 20 or 22 mm. Measure inner edge to inner edge with a ruler — or flip your old strap over: the width is often printed inside.
Our sizes read lug / buckle: 20 / 18 mm is 20 mm at the watch, 18 mm at the buckle. Only the first number has to match your watch.

Buckle width
The width of the strap where the buckle sits — the second number in our sizes. 20 / 18 mm means 18 mm at the buckle.
Every strap comes with a matching buckle. Keeping your own? Measure across the inside of its frame and choose Custom.
Not sure? Email support@xilugs.com with your watch’s brand and model — we’ll confirm before we cut.
Strap Length Guide
Every strap has two parts: the long end with the holes and the short end with the buckle. 115 / 70 mm means 115 mm long, 70 mm short.
Wrap a soft tape — or a paper strip — just above the wrist bone. Snug, not tight. Then find your size below.

Not sure? Email support@xilugs.com with your wrist size — we’ll confirm before we cut.
Straight or curved end?
This is the end of the strap that meets your watch case.
Straight end — cut straight across. Fits almost any watch; a small gap at the case is normal.
Curved end — cut in an arc to follow the round edge of the case, so the strap sits flush with no gap. Tell us your watch brand and model and we’ll match the curve.
Not sure? Choose Straight — it fits everything.

Keepers
The two small leather loops on the buckle half — the strap tail slides through them so it lies flat.
- Match leather — both loops in the strap's own leather.
- Match underlay — both loops in the colour under the holes.
- One colour — one colour for both loops.
- Two colours +$5 — the Top loop and the Bottom loop each in their own colour.

Every strap is built around the three details that decide how it lives on your wrist — not the ones that photograph well.
-

Quick release spring bars
Choose quick release or regular spring bars. We fit them before it ships, so you can change straps in seconds — no tools, no scratched lugs.

Soft Zermatt lining
The underside is lined with soft, water-resistant Zermatt — comfortable against the skin all day, and in warm weather.

Your name on the lining
Initials or a name, hand-stamped into the lining free of charge, so the piece on your wrist is one of one.

I have designed and purchased over 10 straps with XILUGS. Their configurator is one of the best in the industry. The straps are extremely high quality in all regards, the shipping time for a custom strap is exceptional, and their service and customer care is amazing. My problem is that I have become addicted to their straps:-)
Very high quality with attention to fine details
Great quality, great strap.
