The HIRSCH Forest is a rugged yet refined strap that stands out with its natural texture and understated design. Balancing craftsmanship, comfort, and durability, it’s an ideal companion for both vintage-inspired and modern tool watches.
Crafted from vegetable-tanned buffalo calfskin, the surface showcases a coarsely structured grain that gives the strap its authentic, organic look. Over time, the leather develops a unique patina, enhancing its character with every wear.
Carefully padded for presence and comfort, the strap features tone-on-tone or subtly contrasting stitching and a hand-sewn safety stitch on the floating loop. On the reverse, the smooth HIRSCH Softglove lining ensures a pleasant feel against the skin, even for all-day wear.
Practical and versatile, the Forest comes equipped with the HIRSCH Quick-Release System for tool-free strap changes, and is fitted with a HIRSCH Tradition buckle in a classic aluminium finish. It fits lug widths of 18, 20, and 22 mm, making it compatible with a wide range of timepieces.
Combining authentic materials with a clean, purposeful aesthetic, the Forest is a strap that becomes more beautiful with age, ideal for everyday wear with substance and style.

When it comes to watches, finding the perfect watch strap can make a significant difference in both style and comfort. However, selecting the right strap size can be a bit challenging, especially if you’re not familiar with watch terminology. One crucial measurement to consider is the lug width, as it determines the strap size that will fit your watch seamlessly. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of measuring the lug width, enabling you to find the ideal strap for your watch.
Understanding Lug Width:
Before we dive into the measuring process, let’s define what the lug width actually means. The lug width refers to the space between the lugs of a watch case, where the strap attaches. It is typically measured in millimeters (mm) and can vary from watch to watch.
Gather the Necessary Tools:
To measure the lug width accurately, you’ll need a few tools:
– A ruler or a digital caliper: Ensure your measuring tool has millimeter markings for precise measurements.
– A clean, flat surface: Find a stable, flat area where you can lay your watch comfortably.
Remove the Current Strap:
To measure the lug width accurately, you’ll need to remove the current strap from your watch. Most straps can be detached by using a spring bar tool to compress the spring bar and slide the strap out of the lugs.
Place the Watch on a Flat Surface:
Position your watch face down on a clean, flat surface. Ensure the lugs are extended and facing upward, allowing for easy access and measurement.
Measure the Distance Between the Lugs:
Using your ruler or digital caliper, align one edge of the tool with the inside edge of one lug. Then, extend the tool across to the inside edge of the opposite lug, measuring the distance between the two. This measurement represents the lug width (see picture above).
Note the Measurement:
Once you’ve measured the distance accurately, note down the measurement in millimeters. For example, if the distance between the lugs measures 20mm, then the lug width of your watch is 20mm.
Determine the Appropriate Strap Size:
Now that you have the lug width measurement, you can search for straps that match your watch’s size here at CHROONOO.
Consider Strap Variations:
When selecting a new strap, keep in mind that different strap styles may affect the overall fit. Some straps, such as Nylon or Zulu straps, have fixed lug widths and may not require an exact match with your watch’s lug width. However, for more traditional straps like leather or metal bracelets, it’s best to choose a strap with a lug width that matches your watch precisely.
Conclusion:
Measuring the lug width of your watch is a fundamental step in finding the perfect strap. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can accurately determine the lug width and confidently select a strap that seamlessly fits your watch. Remember, a well-fitting strap not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also ensures a comfortable wearing experience.
