Watch Strap FAQ Guide

Trophy Watch Strap FAQ Guide

Whether you're looking to change your strap, find the right size, or care for your new accessory, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know. 

How do I change my Trophy watch strap?

Changing a Trophy watch strap is simple and tool-free. Every strap is made with quick-release spring bars, so you can change them yourself quickly. To swap your strap, locate the small lever on the back of the strap near the lug, pull it inward, and slide the strap out. To attach a new one, pull the lever again, fit the strap into the lugs, and release.

No tools. No scratches. Just a fresh look in seconds.

What is a quick-release watch strap?

A quick-release watch strap includes an integrated spring bar with a small built-in lever. Instead of using a spring bar tool, you simply pull the lever to remove or attach the strap. All Trophy straps and watches are designed with quick-release spring bars for effortless customization.

How do I measure my watch strap size?

To find the right watch strap size, measure the distance between the lugs (the two protruding parts where the strap connects) using a ruler or digital caliper (if you have one). Measure in millimeters. Trophy watches are all 20mm. Always match your new strap to your lug width for a perfect fit.

Can I use any strap with my Trophy watch?

We recommend using Trophy-designed straps for the best fit, quality, and style. While other straps may fit, we've put a lot of time into our quick-release system, choosing the best materials and precise sizing. Choosing one of our straps ensures your watch wears as intended.

What materials are Trophy straps made from?

Trophy watch straps are crafted from premium materials including:

  • Full-grain Italian leather

  • Durable woven perlon with full grain leather underneath

  • Stainless steel hardware

Each material is selected for durability, comfort, and timeless style, designed to complement the modern dress watch silhouette.

How do I care for my leather watch strap?

To keep your Trophy leather strap looking its best:

  • Avoid excessive exposure to water, sweat, and direct sunlight.

  • Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.

  • Allow it to dry naturally if it gets damp.

  • Use a quality leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness.

Proper care helps your strap age beautifully alongside your timepiece.

Are Trophy straps waterproof?

Our straps can stand up to a lot. However, they are made with lightly treated leather, and while durable, should be kept dry whenever possible to preserve their finish and longevity.

How often should I change my watch strap?

There are no strict rules—change your strap whenever you want to refresh your look. Many Trophy owners swap straps seasonally, switching to lighter colors in warmer months and richer tones in fall and winter.

Can changing my strap damage my watch?

No, not if done correctly. With a quick-release strap, more often than not strap changes are safe and scratch-free. Always work on a soft surface to protect your case and crystal during swaps.
