At the longest with the strap pieces together and the tang in the last hole, the strap is 7 1/2 inches long and you can size it all the way down to just 5 inches. Band is 5mm thick where it meets the watch and 2.6mm thick at the tail end. Single sliding keeper. This 20mm Tropic band comes with the most desirable Tropic buckle.
