The Smart Way to Style: Build a Watch Strap Wardrobe
What is a Strap Wardrobe?
Before we dive into the Christmas countdown, let's talk about the unsung hero of watch ownership: the strap change.
Buying a new watch for every season or occasion is an expensive habit! The simplest, most effective, and most affordable way to refresh your timepiece is by swapping the strap. Think of it as creating a 'watch strap wardrobe.' With a small, versatile collection of straps in different materials and colours, you can completely change the look and feel of your watch in minutes, all for a fraction of the price of a new timepiece.
Here at Watch Obsession, we make building that smaller, perfect strap collection easy, ensuring you have the right style for every day—especially for the festive season!

5. Glitter and Shine: The Polished Bracelet
Coming in at number five on our Christmas strap list is a simple, yet highly effective choice: the polished metal bracelet.
Anything shiny will do the trick! At Christmas, our world is filled with glittering lights, tinsel, and sparkle. By throwing on a Metal Bracelet, you’re effortlessly joining in on the festive light show. It’s an easy go-to that adds a touch of glamour without being over-the-top.
4. Classic Christmas Colours: The Green and Red MN
If you want an easy and highly comfortable way to look instantly Christmassy, look no further than the iconic red and green colour pairing.
In fourth place is this gorgeous Green MN Strap with the Red Centreline from Erika’s Originals. The combination of green and red is a classic for a reason, instantly evoking the season. Plus, the MN style is renowned for its supreme comfort, meaning you can wear it all day long while you unwrap presents and eat too many mince pies!
3. For the Secret Santa-Lover: The Grinch Green Rubber Strap
This one is for all those people who pretend to hate Christmas but, really, deep down, absolutely love it like the rest of us!
Getting the bronze medal is the vibrant Grinch Green Rubber Strap from Bonetto Cinturini. This playful choice captures the spirit of the season with a cheeky nod to one of the most famous Christmas characters. It’s a fun, durable, and highly festive option for those who like to stand out.
2. Matching Your Jumper: The Striped Nylon Strap
Getting the silver medal is a personal favourite of ours, mainly because it matches the best Christmas jumpers perfectly!
The Red, Green, Yellow and Blue Striped Nylon Strap brings all the classic Christmas colours together in a vibrant mix. This option is also part of one of our popular strap bundles, meaning you get a choice of three great watch straps for a great price—perfect for last-minute stocking stuffers!
1. The Undisputed King: Santa Claus Red!
Last but not least, in first place, there was only one choice. It’s the colour we all think about when Christmas pops into our head: Santa Claus Red.
If you're getting all dressed up in a jolly red suit on Christmas Eve, a red watch strap will finish off your outfit nicely. Our top choice is the elegant HIRSCH Toronto Fine-Grained Leather Watch Strap in Red.
