Artem Classic Sailcloth Strap Sizing Guide

Find Your Perfect Fit

You'll need two measurements to choose the correct Artem Classic strap size: your watch's lug width and your wrist circumference. If you plan to use a different buckle or deployant clasp, you'll also need to know the strap's taper.

Strap width

On a wristwatch, lug width determines strap size. "Lug width" refers to the distance between the two projections that hold your strap in place, as shown.

Measure your lug width using a metric ruler or a caliper. The width must be in millimeters (not inches), and it must be a whole number (18mm, 19mm, 20mm, etc.). The strap size will match the lug width. If your lug width is 20mm, select a 20mm strap. Not sure how to measure? See our Strap Width Guide for additional help.

Strap length

To determine your strap length, you'll need your wrist measurement in inches.

Using a flexible tape measure or a strip of paper, wrap your wrist where your watch would naturally sit. Mark the point where the two ends meet.

If using a paper strip, use a ruler to measure it (in inches). That number is your wrist size.

Artem Classic straps are produced in multiple lengths. Available lengths are shown on each product page. If your wrist measurement falls between two available lengths, choose the longer length.

Regular (Artem's "Standard") fits wrists 6-1/2" to 7-1/4"
Short (Artem's "XS") fits wrists 6" to 6-1/2"

Strap/buckle taper

If you're replacing the original buckle or using a deployant clasp, match its size to the buckle end of the strap. Artem's straps taper in width toward the buckle as shown:

Your buckle width matches the width at the buckle end of the strap, not the lug end.

Example:

Artem's 20mm strap tapers to 18mm at the buckle. For this strap, you would select an 18mm deployant clasp or buckle. A 20mm clasp will be too big.
