Measure your wrist with a tailor's tape or a piece of string, comfortably snug.

The ready-to-wear strap is 115 × 75 mm. For a smaller or larger wrist I make it in the right length: order your length.

What I'm asked about the Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665

What strap size does the Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 take?

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 needs 20 mm between the lugs, usually 16 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 be changed?

Yes, and easily: the lugs are drilled, so the spring bar is pushed out from the outside with a thin pin, without opening anything. If you prefer, I do it in the workshop.

Can I put a leather strap on the Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665?

Yes, in 20 mm leather, as long as you don't wear it in the water: leather doesn't like the sea or the pool. For days in the water, rubber. On a 40 mm diver I go for a full-thickness strap, not a thin one.

Which strap do you recommend for the Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665?

Rubber if you wear it in the water; otherwise a 20 mm calf strap, full thickness. You'll find it ready in the 20 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.

The next step

The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
