SKX007 & SRPD Strap Guide
The SKX007 is the most strap-swapped watch ever made — and for good reason: standard 22mm lugs mean the entire aftermarket is open to you. This guide covers the widths that matter, the end-link decision everyone gets wrong, and five proven combos.
Widths by model
| Model | Lug width | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SKX007 / SKX009 / SKX173 | 22mm | The classic. Any 22mm two-piece strap fits. |
| SKX013 (mid-size) | 20mm | Do NOT order 22mm — the #1 SKX013 mistake. |
| SRPD / 5 Sports | 22mm | Same width as SKX; straight end links sit cleanest. |
| SRP Turtle / Sumo | 22mm | Use curved straps matched to the case silhouette. |
Curved vs straight end links
Curved end links follow the rounded case of the SKX and Turtle — the bracelet looks factory-installed. Straight end links leave a small gap but let you swap the strap between watches freely. Our rule: if the strap never leaves this watch, go curved; if you rotate straps, go straight.
Five combos that always work
- Oyster bracelet, brushed — the SKX “Jubilee-adjacent” daily look.
- Vulcanized FKM in black or pepsi — dive DNA, dries in minutes.
- Pass-through NATO — the weekend beater setup.
- Waxed canvas or sailcloth — the smart-casual crossover.
- Curved-end jubilee — dress the SKX up without pretending it’s a Datejust.
FAQ
Do I need adapters like the CasiOak?
No — the SKX takes standard spring bars out of the box. Any 22mm strap is a five-minute, no-tools-beyond-a-spring-bar swap.
Will a strap change affect water resistance?
No. Strap swaps never open the case; your seals are untouched.
