How do I measure my wrist size?
  1. Take a piece of string, boot lace or a strip of paper as a measuring guide and pass it around your wrist.
  2. Nip or mark the guide at the overlap.
  3. Gauge the measuring guide against a ruler to establish your wrist size.
  4. Round-up or round-down to the nearest 1/4 inch to determine the watch band size that is right for you.
What is the difference between Hawkrigger’s different clasps options?
  • The O-Rig has a cinch-down closure that uses static webbing for infinite adjustability.
  • The Grappleband has a secure hook closure that uses elastic webbing for exception comfort.
  • The Riggerband has a slot and tang closure with elastic webbing for secure but quick release operation.
How do I match correct strap width with the lug size my watch needs?

Measure the width of your watch’s lugs where the strap attaches to the watch. Common sizes are 18mm, 21m, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm and 26mm. You can also check the watch's specifications for the correct strap size.

How do I choose between 20mm or 22mm strap if I have a watch with 21mm lugs?

Hawkrigger offers 21mm width straps in 2 piece configuration. For all other straps where you may choose to pair a 20mm or 22mm strap with 21mm lug watch the choice is subjective and so entirely yours to make!

Do you offer strap customisation?

No, but we do offer a diverse range of types, styles, colors, sizes, webbing, and hardware, giving you plenty of options to create the perfect strap for your watch.

Just got my new Calypso watch strap today and I wanted to say thanks. It’s exactly what I’d hoped for, and already so comfortable I’ve forgotten I’m wearing it until I look down at my wrist. I’m especially pleased with the color/finish of the hardware. I’ve put the strap on a solid titanium Bertucci fieldwatch and the look is impeccable.

Also, shipping from the UK to the US was crazy fast!

Thanks again!
