Tip Shapes Explained

When personalizing your watch strap, every detail matters — even the tip shape. Though small, the end of the strap that extends past the buckle subtly influences the overall character of your watch.

Types of Tip Shapes

• Point Tip: The strap tapers to a sharp point, creating a refined and timeless look. Commonly found on dress watches, this style enhances classic and formal designs while pairing well with most modern timepieces — from chronographs to field and GMT watches.
  
  
• Square Tip: The strap ends in a straight, squared-off edge, offering a clean, utilitarian aesthetic. It pairs beautifully with pilot, diver, and chronograph watches, adding a subtle, contemporary edge. 
  
  This design actually dates back to WWII, when German Luftwaffe pilots used large B-Uhr (Beobachtungs-Uhren) watches with long leather straps. These straps had square tips because they were easier to grip and fasten, even when pilots wore gloves in cold, high-altitude conditions. Over time, this utilitarian feature has evolved into a modern classic.
