Introducing the WatchGecko Mosaic Cut to Size (CTS) Rubber Watch Strap, designed with a bold modern look and engineered for all-day adjustability, this strap combines dependable performance with an expressive edge - ideal for those who want their watch to stand out as much as it fits in. Its CTS construction allows for a truly tailored fit: simply trim the strap using the eight notches on each side, spaced at 4mm intervals, to match your wrist perfectly.
Paired with a spring-loaded leaf buckle that offers fine-tuned micro-adjustment, delivering one of the most adaptable and wrist-friendly fits in our rubber watch straps line-up. Crafted from stainless steel, the buckle features a combination of brushed and polished finishes for a refined look. It’s left unbranded to maintain the strap’s clean, modern aesthetic and keep the focus on your watch.
The Mosaic’s namesake texture features a subtle grid of micro-squares that reflect light like real mosaic tiles, adding depth and a dynamic finish as your wrist moves. Whether you're drawn to standout details or understated style, the Mosaic offers something refreshingly different. Along with the integrated quick-release spring bars make installation tool-free and effortless, while the spring-loaded leaf buckle offers micro-adjustability for on-the-go fine-tuning.
If you need to remove the quick-release spring bars, then you can learn how to easily remove quick-release spring bars in our video.

Sizing The Mosaic CTS
Getting the perfect fit is easy with the Mosaic’s Cut-to-Size (CTS) system. Start by removing the spring-loaded buckle using a spring bar tool. On the underside of each strap section, you’ll find eight clearly marked notches, each spaced 4mm apart. Trim one notch at a time, checking the fit as you go to avoid over-cutting.
Once trimmed, reattach the buckle and use the built-in micro-adjustment mechanism to fine-tune the final fit. This combination of CTS trimming and micro-adjustability ensures a secure, custom fit with a clean, professional finish - no excess, no bulk, just comfort.
