All About Custom Watch Straps

When you start to learn more about timepieces, you’re sure to come across the term custom watch straps. Read on to discover just what this term means to watch collectors and what it could mean for your timepiece.

Custom Straps Defined

A custom watch strap is a watch band that is selected by the wearer rather than put on a timepiece by the watchmaker. Custom straps may also be called replacement watch straps or replacement watch bands. There are many different kinds with designs made from nylon, leather and metal mesh being the most popular. With the right basic tools, custom straps can be added to a timepiece by the owner.

Benefits of Custom Bands

So why would anyone want a custom watch band? There are a couple of reasons. Some people purchase custom straps in order to give their watches a more distinctive, unique look, so that their timepieces are one of a kind. Others buy them to repair vintage watches with worn out bands or to fix a newer watch with a damaged strap.
