What is lug width on a watch?

The lug width on a watch refers to the measurement of the space between the lugs, which are the two protruding pieces on either side of the watch case where the strap or bracelet is attached.

Lug width is an important factor to consider when purchasing a new strap or bracelet for your watch, as it determines the size of the strap or bracelet needed to fit properly between the lugs.

Most watches have lug widths that range from 16mm to 24mm, with 18mm and 20mm being the most common sizes. It's important to measure the lug width of your watch accurately before purchasing a new strap or bracelet to ensure a proper fit.

Additionally, some watches have unique lug shapes or sizes that may require a specialized strap or bracelet, so it's always best to consult with the watch manufacturer or a trusted jeweler if you are unsure about the lug width of your watch.
