Dan Henry band size chart by model

Dan Henry names every watch after the year that inspired it, which makes the band question sound simpler than it is: the model year is the model name, and the width is printed on the brand's own product pages [1] [4]. This chart re-pulls every watch and strap page on danhenrywatches.com at build time and covers the whole catalog: ten current models from the 28.5mm 1900 ladies watch to the 1975 Skin Diver, plus the discontinued 1968, whose strap the brand still sells [14] [28]. One search correction belongs up top: there is no Dan Henry 1973, and there never was; anyone hunting a 1973 band size is holding a 1972 or a 1975 [28] [29]. The width ladder runs 14, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 24mm, with the 1972 hiding the strangest case in the catalog [8].

Quick answers: 1962 Racing Chronograph takes 20mm. 1937 Dress Chronograph takes 20mm. 1939 and 1945 take 22mm. 1963 splits: 40mm case is 20mm, 42.5mm case is 22mm. 1964 splits: 38mm case is 19mm, 36mm case is 18mm. 1970 splits: 40mm case is 22mm, 44mm case is 24mm. 1972 Maverick takes 20mm on all variants. 1975 splits: 39mm case is 20mm, 37mm case is 19mm. The discontinued 1968 takes 22mm. There is no 1973.

What the brand actually prints

Every danhenrywatches.com watch page carries a Specifications block with the same four case lines: case diameter, thickness, lug width, and lug to lug [1] [7]. On the multi-size models the page prints one spec block, and the brand's own strap-match tool fills the second size in: it lists every dial and case combination with the words Case: 40mm, Lug Width: 22mm and so on, which is how the 44mm 1970's 24mm width and the 40mm 1963's 20mm width are confirmed first-party [4]. The strap shop then names each replacement strap after the model it fits, with the width in the variant name, 1962 Leather Strap 20mm, 1970 Rubber Strap 24mm and 22mm, 1975 Tropic Strap 20mm and 19mm [27]. Between the spec blocks, the strap-match matrix and the strap catalog, every current model is double-covered; the only rows that lean on a single surface are the two odd 19mm widths, which the strap shop serves but dealers rarely stock [11]. If your watch disagrees with any row below, measure the gap with calipers as shown in our measuring guide before ordering.

The 1972: a 20mm strap on a case with barely any lugs

The 1972 Maverick is Dan Henry's tribute to the Porsche Design Orfina 7176s, the watch Top Gun made famous, and it inherits the original's strangest feature: the lugs are more suggestion than structure. The brand's own spec block prints it plainly, 41mm case, 20mm lug width, 45.7mm lug to lug, screw-in crown [7], and Monochrome's launch coverage of the Automatic confirms the same 20mm width with quick-release spring bars on the bracelet [9]. Two Broke Watch Snobs, reviewing the earlier alarm-chrono generation of the same case, wrote the line this chart could not improve on: the actual lug width is 20mm, that is if the lugs actually existed [8]. Their measurement explains why the factory bracelet looks wrong on paper: the first link is 24mm wide, because it has to span a case whose horns cover the endlinks, then tapers to 18mm at the clasp [8]. The practical answer for strap buyers is the simplest in this chart: any standard 20mm two-piece strap or 20mm NATO bolts straight on. The number to ignore is the 24mm you might read off the bracelet end; the number that matters is the 20mm the manufacturer prints.

Trap 1: the 1970 diver is two watches at two widths

The 1970 Automatic Diver, the compressor-style diver with the inner rotating bezel, sells in a 40mm case and a 44mm case, and they do not share straps: the product page's spec block prints 22mm lug width for the 40mm [5], and the strap-match tool prints Case: 44mm, Lug Width: 24mm for the big one, across every dial color [4]. The brand's own rubber strap SKU is the tell that both are current: it sells as 24mm and 22mm variants of the same product [6]. Note the length situation before ordering: the 1970 rubber comes in Regular 120/80 only, with no Short option, unlike the leather straps [6]. Owners of the 44mm should also know 24mm is the widest width in the whole Dan Henry system, so third-party options thin out exactly where the case is biggest.

Trap 2: one 1963 name, two widths, one strap SKU

The 1963 Pilot Chronograph splits by case exactly like the 1970: the 42.5mm GMT versions print 22mm lug width on the product page [16], while the strap-match tool prints Case: 40mm, Lug Width: 20mm for the 40mm family, every dial [4]. The catch is the strap shop: the 1963 Leather Strap is sold as 22mm only [27]. A 40mm 1963 owner who orders the strap named after their watch gets a strap 2mm too wide. The first-party way out is the Racing Leather Strap, which sells 19mm, 20mm and 18mm widths [27], or the belt-style NATO in 20mm [27]. The same logic covers the 1964 Gran Turismo in reverse: its leather strap sells both of its widths, 19mm and 18mm [18], but the metal bracelet is 18mm only, so it belongs on the 36mm case, not the 38mm [4].

Trap 3: the odd 19mm rows, and the 1973 that never was

Two models in the catalog take 19mm straps, a width the strap trade understocks: the 38mm 1964 Gran Turismo and the 37mm quartz 1975 Skin Diver. For the 1975 the brand serves it properly, selling the rubber, tropic and bracelet SKUs in both 20mm and 19mm variants [11] [12] [13]; for the 1964 the leather strap covers 19mm and 18mm [18]. And then there is the model that generates searches but not straps: no Dan Henry 1973 exists. The brand's product sitemap enumerates ten watch models, none named 1973 [28]; the strap-match tool's model menu offers 1937 through 1975 with no 1973 [4]; Wikipedia's brand history lists the founding models and successors with no 1973 [29]; and lug2lug's Dan Henry index counts ten watches, again no 1973 [30]. The 1968 is the mirror case: a real founding-era watch, long discontinued, whose strap the brand still sells, one SKU, 22mm, Regular 120/80 [14], with the review press pinning the watch itself at 41mm with 22mm lugs [15]. That strap page is the manufacturer's own confirmation of the width, which is why the 1968 row ships as 22mm rather than as a measurement caveat.

Lengths: the second number on every strap page

Dan Henry prints strap length as a two-number pair, tail side first: the leather straps sell Regular (120/80) and Short (110/70), the shorter cut aimed at wrists under roughly 15.5cm [2] [18]. The 1970 rubber is Regular 120/80 only [6]. The 1975 rubber and tropic are Regular 120/80 only as well [11] [12]. The NATO is the outlier at 150/220, a single-length belt design with an adjustable buckle rather than sized halves [27], and the 1900 ladies strap is 220/79 because it threads through twice in its bund configuration [26]. If you are between lengths, the sizing logic is the same as our NATO strap length guide covers in depth: measure the wrist, not the old strap. The taper question is brand-consistent: the leather straps that state a taper go 20mm to 16mm [20] [2], a 4mm step our watch strap taper chart places at the vintage end of the scale, and swapping any of them is a spring-bar job, so the spring bar sizes guide is the last stop before ordering.
