Beware of cheap imitations - This watch strap is made from 1.2mm diameter 316L stainless steel wire for the best performance and strength. Suited for a larger watch, the overall 4mm thickness will sit comfortably on your wrist. Features innovative 'H' link details to make length adjustment possible.
The strap is supplied with 4 "H" links, each link will change the length of the strap by 12.5 mm. Please note that the links feature a double screw head (2.5mm diameter) design and some care is needed when removing these, a 2.5mm screwdriver is required.
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.
Please note that "Seiko" 2.5mm diameter spring bars will not fit this strap. But you can instead use our Skinny Fat spring bars.
