How returns and repairs work

The Tideguard is a no-loop watch strap built around a deployant clasp. Instead of running through a keeper, the tail tucks under the clasp, so the strap goes on with almost no bending and the extra length stays hidden underneath. It's molded in FKM rubber with a sailcloth texture and stitched along both edges: the look of sailcloth, with rubber's indifference to water. The brushed steel clasp comes fitted.

Sandbar: tan with tan stitching.

Care. Rinse after salt water or a pool and let it dry. Keep sunscreen and bug spray off the clasp hinge. The rubber needs no conditioning.

Notes: Colors can look a little different from screen to screen. Measurements are approximate and can vary slightly from strap to strap.

Lug width. Measure the gap between the lugs, where the strap meets the case, or look up your watch's reference number. Choose 20mm or 22mm; both taper to 18mm at the clasp.

Wrist. Wrap a strip of paper or string around your wrist where the watch sits, mark where it meets, and measure it flat. Tideguard fits wrists of about 6" to 8".

Watches it fits. The 20mm fits watches like the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, Speedmaster Professional and Tudor Black Bay 58. The 22mm fits the Tudor Black Bay 41 and many Seiko divers.

Questions

Straight answers before you order.

Is it real sailcloth?

No. It's FKM rubber molded with a sailcloth texture and stitched along both edges: the look of sailcloth, with rubber's indifference to water.

Does the clasp come with it?

Yes. A brushed stainless steel deployant clasp, 18mm, comes included and fitted.

Why is there no keeper loop?

The tail tucks under the deployant clasp, so the strap goes on with almost no bending and the extra length stays hidden underneath.

Will it fit my watch?

Choose 20mm or 22mm by the gap between your watch's lugs; both taper to 18mm at the clasp. The 20mm fits watches like the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, Speedmaster Professional and Tudor Black Bay 58. The 22mm fits the Tudor Black Bay 41 and many Seiko divers. Not sure? Email the reference number and I'll check it before you order.

What wrist sizes does it fit?

Wrists of about 6" to 8". The two pieces are 105mm and 100mm.

Can I swim in it?

Yes, it's made to be worn in water. Rinse it after salt water or a pool and let it dry, and keep sunscreen and bug spray off the clasp hinge.

How do I put it on my watch?

The spring bars are quick-release and come fitted, so it changes without tools.

Where is it made, and how fast does it ship?

Made in China. It ships from Minnesota in 3 to 4 business days, with free US shipping.

What if it isn't right?

Unused straps can be returned within 30 days, and the 90-day promise covers anything wrong, damaged or failed in normal wear. How returns and repairs work.

I love the strap. Utilizing two different leathers to maintain the integrity of the Chromexcel leather while providing a water resistance calf leather underneath is an incredible idea that works wonderfully. The only downside is that I have to use the last hole on the strap because I have a smaller wrist. Other than that, I am very impressed by the quality of this product.

Todo perfecto, muy bonita correa de reloj 👍

Love these watch straps. Great quality, perfect fit and they stay in place without a lot of movement.

Excellent watch strap. Great quality and finish.

Excellent product. Very high quality. Top notch customer service

Fit perfectly on my 22mm lug watch (Google Pixel Watch 3, larger 45mm version). I love the natural workshoe butt leather, and know it's going to stand the test of time for years and years. It also came with pins, which I wasn't expecting, so that was an added bonus.

For anyone curious about how I paired this band with the Pixel Watch 3: my previous band was Google's Pixel Watch Crafted Leather Band, and I removed the band from the proprietary lugs. I had to cut the band off, because it was overlapping the pins too much and preventing normal removal. However I'm not mourning the loss of the leather band from Google, because it was made from inferior "genuine leather" (split leather), and I would much rather have a full grain leather band for added durability/strength. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Great quality! I'm using this by itself (without a watch) as a leather wrist band, but I would recommend it for either use.

Amazing leather!! hands down one of the best shops I've ever dealt with
