SIZING

How do I measure my watch to know the correct watch strap width I need?

In order to know what size watch strap that you need, you will need to grab a "mm" ruler and measure in between the "lug ends" of your watch. You do not want to generally measure your old watch strap as it can be either the wrong size for your watch or it may have shrunk over the years of hard use and abuse. Here is an example of what you need to measure:

What is the correct size watch strap for my wrist?

In order to calculate the correct length for your watch strap you will need to know your wrist size. To get this you can wrap a flexible tape measure or anything flexible enough around your wrist and where the material meets around your wrist you can place that section on a ruler to get the accurate wrist size.

What is the proper watch strap width for my Panerai watch?

The general rule of thumb with Panerai watches is simple. If you own a 40mm case Panerai then you need a 22mm wide watch strap, for a 44mm case you would need a 24mm wide watch and for a 47mm case you would need a 26mm wide watch strap. Please refer to the charts below to find the correct lug width for your Panerai watch:

Customizing Your Watch Band | How to Order

COLOR

The color of the leather is very important. Selecting a lighter color will allow the strap to age much more and gain a darker patina over time with wear and use. The darker colors already have patina and aging on them but are rarer for us to source.

WIDTH

Knowing and selecting the correct width is critical to the custom watch strap ordering process. If this detail is unknown then we generally perform a web search when trying to find a specific watch's lug width. For example when searching for an Omega Speedmaster Pro's lug width we would search for "Omega Speedmaster Lug Width", which can be a great starting point. You can add the specific model # to the search as well which can be even more accurate.

BUCKLE TYPE

The buckle is a very personal choice. Generally most people match the finish or material of the watch's case to the buckle, but this is not a hard fast rule. Also the general size or feel of the watch is matched here too, meaning a smaller watch might do best with a smaller INOX style buckle while a larger watch might pair best with our oval style metal buckle. Please note that we are offering our INOX POLISHED buckle for our 1 PIECE design only and it is meant to be paired with the leather keepers to create a stylish 1 PIECE vintage mil watch strap.

STITCHING COLOR

While there are many wonderful options to choose from, our top few choices would be matching to the leather, cream to give it a nice vintage look or white to offer a fresh, clean look. Black is another great option especially if you want to match the stitching to a PVD (Black) buckle. All of the other colors are a personal choice and that depends on the watch and your personality.

KEEPER

This option refers to the thin leather or metal pieces that the tip of the long strap slides into after going through the buckle, so the tip stays nice and close to your wrist. We are offering a leather keeper option but ONLY for the 1 PIECE design option. Our metal keepers option is available on both the 1 PIECE or full MILITARY design.

VENETIAN CREAM

This is our go to leather conditioner in the shop and we have been offering this product since our inception. It is still made in Chicago and they still use glass bottles with a metal cap and make one of the finest leather conditioners out there. If you have not tried it or simply do not have a leather conditioner we highly recommend adding a bottle to your collection as vintage straps do get thirsty and need conditioning from time to time.

Details

This is where you can write and add any notes that are pertinent to the order that we need to know. We generally say the more details the better.

Quality, longevity and simplicity are always at the forefront at DaLuca Straps.

Elegant strap

I've purchased quite a few DaLuca straps. This one is a cut above due to the beautiful leather. Adds some panache to my Breitling GMT. Love it!

Superbly crafted antique leather watch strap

I ordered this trap to complement my IWC Mark XVIII Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The strap does not disappoint at all. The antique French ammo pouch leather is supple and yet rugged at the same time. And the antique leather perfectly matches the brown face on the watch. I couldn’t be happier. Daniel and his staff do a wonderful job with these custom leather straps.

French Ammo straps are the best!

The vintage French Ammo military is outstanding! Makes my Rolex Explorer II really pop. I will be buying more!
