  • Brushed Stainless Steel (default): 14, 16, 18, 20mm

  • Polished Stainless Steel: 14, 16, 18, 20mm

If your custom strap requires a buckle width not listed above, you’ll need to supply your own buckle. See our guide here for details.

How to Customize

On the strap’s product page, check “Yes” under Customize. A menu of customization options will appear — tick the box for Buckle Finish and select your preferred style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What buckle finish do you recommend?

There’s no strict rule, but we suggest matching the buckle finish to your watch case for a cohesive, balanced look.

Q: Can I order an extra buckle?

Absolutely. Each strap includes one tang buckle by default, but you can purchase additional buckles here in your preferred finish.

Q: Are the buckles removable or interchangeable?

Yes. Our buckles are attached with a standard spring bar, allowing easy swapping as long as the buckle width and tongue width match your strap. See our quick guide if you’d like help changing your buckle.

Q: Can I get a tang buckle without a logo (generic/unbranded)?

Yes. You can purchase unbranded buckles here. Please note this is a separate purchase, as all straps include our default tang buckle by default.

We offer unbranded tang buckles in the following sizes and finishes:

  • Brushed Stainless Steel: 14, 16, 18mm

  • Polished Stainless Steel: 14, 16, 18mm

  • Matte Black PVD: 16, 18mm

  • Polished Yellow Gold Plated: 14, 16, 18mm

Q: Do you offer deployant clasps?

Not yet — but we’re actively sourcing high-quality deployant clasps to complement our strap collection. Stay tuned for updates.

Q: Can I use my own tang buckle or deployant clasp?

Yes. Select “Custom Buckle” in the customization menu, and additional fields will appear to ensure the strap is made to fit your buckle correctly. You can also read our detailed guide on customizing a strap for your own buckle.

Q: Can I order a custom strap that requires a buckle width in a size you do not offer?

Yes. We can still make the strap — you’ll just need to provide your own buckle. Read our guide here for details on fitting your buckle to a custom strap.

If you don’t have a buckle, we recommend choosing the closest available width from our options. For example, if your strap is designed as 21/19mm and you don’t have a 19mm buckle, consider adjusting to 21/20mm or 21/18mm so we can include our tang buckle.
