The 20 mm watch strap is the most common size for men's watches, so this is where our range is widest, from affordable sport straps to genuine Tissot straps. You will find genuine Tissot straps, the Hirsch Toronto, Camelgrain, Mariner and Kansas series, Rochet Neptune and Aviator, plus plastic sport straps. If you would rather not change it yourself, our own watch service can help with fitting too.
Which watch needs a 20 mm strap?
The 20 mm lug width is typical of men's watches of 38–42 mm, from dress watches to dive and pilot watches. On a great many Tissot, Seiko and other men's watches this is the original size, which is why the choice here is the widest.
Leather, plastic or genuine Tissot – how to decide?
What we usually say: first decide what you wear it for. If you swim or work out with the watch, do not put leather on it; choose one of the black plastic straps or the Rochet Neptune. For the office and everyday wear the Hirsch Toronto L or Camelgrain L is elegant, while the Hirsch Mariner L and Kansas L have a sportier feel. For a Tissot watch it is worth choosing from the genuine Tissot straps.
- For water and sport: plastic strap, Rochet Neptune black
- For a suit: Hirsch Toronto L, Camelgrain L, Duke L
- For pilot and field watches: Rochet Aviator brown, Hirsch Osiris Nubuk
- For Tissot owners: genuine 20 mm Tissot
How do you measure that you need 20 mm?
The strap width is the inner distance between the two lugs of the case, at the spring bar. On many straps the number is also printed on the inside. If you get 19 or 21, look at the other sizes among all watch strap widths.
Before ordering, check the length and the buckle type on the product page too, so that the strap is sure to suit your watch and your wrist.

The material and the maker: plastic sport straps are the most affordable, Hirsch leather straps are in the middle, and genuine Tissot straps are in the higher price range.
