Our popular Beads of Rice watch strap is back and better than ever - now featuring an improved buckle.
Premium Beads of Rice metal bracelet with a design that has taken inspiration from the iconic Gay Frères beads-of-rice from the 1940s 1950s, which was famously used on Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin watches.
So this is something a bit different, and special, from your everyday metal bracelet; it is a very attractive style to wear and won't look out of place on your own timepiece, whether it is an everyday Seiko diver or your Omega Seamaster.
A well-designed buckle is more than just a clasp - it’s an essential component that enhances both comfort and style. The WatchGecko Divers Deployant Buckle is meticulously engineered to provide a seamless wearing experience, combining precision machining with a refined aesthetic. Whether you’re exploring the depths or navigating daily life, this buckle delivers reliability, durability, and sophisticated design in equal measure.
Designed for performance and comfort crafted from 14 individual components, the WatchGecko Divers Deployant Buckle is expertly machined and assembled to ensure a secure and effortless fit. Its dual push-button release mechanism replaces the traditional foldover catch, offering an intuitive and user-friendly operation. To ensure a precise, tailored fit, six micro-adjustment holes allow for fine-tuning, delivering maximum comfort on the wrist.
The buckle measures 36mm in total length and 8mm in thickness, accommodates 4mm thick watch straps, and fully extends to 100mm when opened.
