Fit & sizing notes for the Oyster Perpetual 41

21mm lug width41mm case47.5mmlug-to-lug
  • Width: buy 21mm straps. Tapered straps listed as 21/19mm or 21/17mm fit too; only the first number has to match. See strap sizes explained.
  • Spring bars: 21mm long, about 2.0mm diameter (spring bar sizes).
  • Odd size: 21mm straps are harder to find; a 20mm strap fits with a small gap, but never go wider. Odd lug width options.
  • Ends: the case curves between the lugs, so curved or fitted-end straps close the gap. Straight-end straps still fit.
  • Wrist fit: at 47.5mm lug-to-lug it should sit within the top of wrists from about 15.8cm up (rule of thumb: lug-to-lug under ~30% of wrist size). That's longer than 55% of the watches in our index. See what size watch suits your wrist.
  • Strap thickness: at 12mm thick it's mid-thickness, so most straps suit it; padded leather and NATOs both balance well.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 — strap questions

What size strap does the Oyster Perpetual 41 take?
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 has a 21mm lug width, so you need a 21mm watch strap.
Will any 21mm strap fit the Oyster Perpetual 41?
Most will. Width is the main thing to match, but also check that the strap's spring-bar holes suit the bars, and that the strap is thin enough to clear the case between the lugs. For a gapless look, pick curved/fitted ends. A metal bracelet needs 21mm end-links made for this model.
What spring bar size does the Oyster Perpetual 41 use?
21mm long and about 2.0mm in diameter (a typical figure; measure the original bar to be sure).
Is the Oyster Perpetual 41 good for strap swapping?
Yes. With standard 21mm spring-bar lugs, NATO, leather, rubber and mesh straps can all be fitted with a spring-bar tool.
