The Right Strap for Your Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic dive watches in the world. All modern models feature 20mm lugs, from the 14060 no-date reference to the more recent 126610 ceramic models.

Whether you want to replace the original bracelet for a more casual look, or alternate between different styles depending on the occasion, a quality leather strap completely transforms the Submariner's character.

How to Choose the Right Strap

1. Check the Lug Size

The Rolex Submariner requires 20mm straps. It is essential to use the exact measurement:

  • 20mm fits perfectly between the lugs
  • 19mm leaves a gap and compromises aesthetics
  • 21mm won't fit and risks damaging the watch

All our 20mm straps are tested for a perfect fit on the Submariner.

2. Choose the Material

Each material changes the character of your Submariner:

  • Calfskin - Elegant, versatile, ages well. Ideal for daily wear.
  • Rally Racing - Sporty, rally texture, for a casual-sporty look.
  • Crocodile - Absolute luxury, for formal occasions.
  • NATO - Casual, vintage vibe, reminiscent of military origins.

3. Wrist Measurement

We customize each strap to your size:

  • Measure your wrist circumference with a tape measure
  • Indicate the measurement at checkout (e.g., 17cm, 18cm, 19cm)
  • We make the strap to ensure a perfect fit

Tip: The Submariner is a robust watch. If you are unsure between two sizes, choose the larger one to prevent the strap from being too tight.

4. Buckle and Deployment Clasp

Two options for closing the strap:

  • Classic buckle - Traditional look, thinner on the wrist
  • Deployment clasp - More secure, doesn't mark the strap, more comfortable opening

The deployment clasp protects the strap from wear and tear and resembles the original Oyster bracelet's clasp.

About the Rolex Submariner

Launched in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is considered the father of modern dive watches. Born for professional divers, it has become a style icon worn by James Bond, Steve McQueen, and collectors worldwide.

Featuring a unidirectional bezel, Triplock crown, and water resistance up to 300 meters, the Submariner is an example of functional design that never goes out of style. Whether it's a vintage 5513, a classic 16610, or a modern 126610 in ceramic, the Submariner maintains its immediately recognizable identity.

A quality leather strap offers an elegant alternative to the Oyster bracelet, allowing you to transform the Sub from a sports watch to an evening watch without compromising its character.

Frequently Asked Questions

What strap size does the Rolex Submariner need?

All modern Rolex Submariner models (from 14060 onwards) have 20mm lugs. This applies to no-date, date, steel, and precious metal versions.

Can I fit a 19mm or 21mm strap?

No, it is essential to use the exact 20mm size. A 19mm strap would leave visible space between the strap and the lugs, compromising aesthetics. A 21mm strap would not physically fit and risks scratching the case.

Is the leather strap waterproof like the bracelet?

Leather is not waterproof like steel. Although our straps are treated to resist occasional splashes, we recommend avoiding prolonged immersion and using the original bracelet for water activities.

What color best matches the black Submariner?

The most versatile colors are:

  • Black - Elegant, formal, matches the dial
  • Brown/Cognac - Casual-elegant, vintage vibe
  • Grey - Modern, pairs well with steel

How long does a leather strap last?

With proper care (avoid water, clean regularly, alternate with other straps), a calfskin strap lasts 2-3 years of daily use. Crocodile and alligator last even 5-7 years due to the greater resistance of their scales.

Can I customize the stitching color?

Yes, at checkout you can choose the stitching color. For the black Submariner, the most popular stitching options are:

  • White (sporty contrast)
  • Green (for Hulk/Starbucks)
  • Black tone-on-tone (elegant and discreet)

Do you offer a Rolex-compatible deployment clasp?

Yes, we offer 316L stainless steel deployment clasps that integrate perfectly with the Submariner's aesthetics. They are more secure than a classic buckle and protect the strap from wear and tear.
