Which strap width do I need?
Measure the inside distance between the lugs of your watch in millimetres. That measurement is the strap width. Our guide “Finding the lug width” shows how, with an illustration.
Finding the lug widthAre spring bars included?
Yes. Every MARCHEL watch strap comes with matching spring bars.
Which spring bar diameter is right?
Ø 1.5 mm for leather, rubber and silicone straps, Ø 1.78 mm for metal bracelets. The size equals the lug width of the watch.
Measuring a spring barWhat do 200 and 300 mean for deployant clasps?
200 stands for a silver, 300 for a gold deployant clasp – the same for LX, CX and WX.
When do I need XL?
If you have to use the last hole of a standard strap or it feels too short. XL straps are approx. 2 cm longer.
How is strap length measured?
Both pieces together, without the buckle. Depending on width, a standard strap measures approx. 17 or 19 cm.
Can I change the strap myself?
Yes – with a spring bar tool it only takes a few minutes. The guide “Changing a strap” shows every step.
Changing a strapAre leather straps waterproof?
No. Leather should not get wet. For water and sport, a silicone strap such as the GM40 is the right choice.
