Finding your strap size can be quite confusing so we've dumbed it down to make it super easy for you.

Method 1Smartwatches:

Smartwatches are usually the easiest to find as they will have a number on the back of your strap to tell you what size strap it uses. 

The strap width refers to the size that fits your watch and NOT the length of the strap. For many smartwatches, the easiest way to check is by flipping your watch.

Most smartwatches should say 18, 20 or 22 on the back of your strap. For example, if the back says 20, this means you will need a 20mm strap! It's that easy!

If your watch does not have this, you may need to use the links below to find the correct size.

Method 2: Using a Ruler 

The easiest and most accurate way to find your strap size is to use a ruler and measure between the lugs. This is known as the lug width. This is also the same as the strap width.

The lugs are the pointy ends of your watch which hold the strap onto the watch.

The above picture shows four lugs. The red line is where you measure which will tell you the strap width.
Now, with a ruler or tape measure, measure between the top or bottom set of lugs as pictured below:

 

Find your watch strap size

 

As you can see, we've measured this two ways, the top measuring device shows 22mm, but also, the bottom tape measure measures 22mm.

This means in our store, you would select a 22mm strap! That's it!

We do NOT recommend using camera ruler apps on your phone to measure. These can be inaccurate as a 1mm difference is enough for the strap to not fit to your watch.

PS: Our straps will measure slightly narrower than 22mm so that it fits to your watch! This means our straps will actually measure 21.9mm to fit your 22mm lugs. 

If the concept of lug width is too confusing, you can see in the diagram below, the lug width and strap width of A are the same. This means, you can also measure the top of the strap where the A is marked. Do not measure anywhere else along the strap as you can see it tapers (narrows) as you get lower on the strap.

Method 3: The Lazy Method:

What you will need:
- Your watch brand
- Your watch model number, year, name (model numbers are ideal because a manufacturer may change the size between different model numbers)

What you need to know:
This method works best for the more 'popular' brands/models. If you don't have the exact specifics of the watch - do not use this method.

Go to Google and in the search field, type the following:

(BRAND) (YEAR / MODEL NAME/NUMBER) Lug Width

Example 1:

Rolex 2016 Submariner 114060 Lug Width

Example 2:

Daniel Wellington 2019 Cornwall lug width

You will be able to find different websites which will state the lug width of the watch you are looking for. Here's an example of what to look for:

 

Note: if you have an odd numbered strap size, for example, a 21mm lug width, you can use a 20mm strap on your watch. This will mean there will be a 1mm gap however.

If no results come up, you can also use the same search terms but changing lug width to strap width

The Story

The Bullet Bracelet is one of the most popular bracelets from our archive, and for good reason.  The gorgeous polished/brushed finishing with Forstner's push-button milled clasp is only the beginning.  Unlike most traditional 5-link bracelets, the Bullet Bracelet is constructed with rounded and angled links, giving the bracelet unique depth and a brilliant appearance from every vantage point.  It's a fantastic design that has unfortunately been missing for too long.

Originally made by Forstner's 1960s-era successor, Jacoby Bender, as an OEM option for the Bulova Accutron Astronaut, the bracelet has become a cult classic in collector circles.  We love the bracelet so much that we are introducing it in two configurations: the straight end design shown here, and a version with fitted end links for specific models such as the Omega Speedmaster and Tudor Black Bay.  

Construction and Finish

  • 5-link polished/brushed design (three brushed links, with two narrow and polished inner links)
  • Unique rounded/angled links in solid construction
  • Fitted with Forstner's push-button milled clasp
  • 316L stainless steel

Adjustment and Fit

Fits wrists ranging from approximately 5.5-8.5 inches (14-20cm) (minimum length of bracelet is just under 11cm and maximum length is 18cm). Links may be removed via single screw system and via the micro-adjustment in the clasp.

Sizes/Width Options

  • Offered in five widths: 17.5mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, and 22mm.
  • NOTE: 17.5mm version is suited primarily for the vintage Bulova Accutron Astronaut.  While the end piece is 17.5mm, the first link expands to 20mm.  Watches with lug holes that are not close to the lug ends may not work with this size.
  • Each version tapers to the width of the end piece to 16mm at the clasp (for example, the 20mm version will taper from 20mm at the end piece to 16mm at the clasp).

Included

Spring bars, screwdriver for size adjustment.
