Lug Width Guide

Diagram showing lug width measurement on a watch case

Your lug width is the distance between the inner edges of your watch's lugs — the small protruding arms where the strap connects to the case.

How to find yours

Look it up: Search your watch brand and model followed by "lug width" — most manufacturers publish this spec online.

Measure it: Using a ruler or calipers, measure the gap between the inner edges of the two lugs on your watch case. Most watches fall between 18mm and 22mm.

What about tapered widths?

A tapered strap is wider at the lugs and narrower at the buckle. For example, 22/20mm means 22mm at the lugs tapering down to 20mm at the buckle. This gives a more refined look, especially on larger watches.

When choosing a tapered option, just make sure the first number matches your lug width.
