Spring bar
Definition
The spring bar is the elastic metal component that connects the strap to the watch case, fitting into the holes in the lugs. Its internal spring allows secure, reversible fastening, making it possible to change the strap quickly without specialised tools.
Frequently asked questions
How does a spring bar work?
The spring bar contains an internal spring that keeps a small lever under tension. By pressing the side buttons, the lever retracts, allowing the strap to be inserted into or removed from the lug holes of the watch case.
What is the difference between a traditional and a modern spring bar?
Modern spring bars offer better grip and durability. Our handcrafted straps use only top-quality spring bars to guarantee complete reliability.
When should a spring bar be replaced?
If the spring loses tension and the strap moves excessively, it is time to replace it. A good spring bar lasts for years with correct use.
