Spring bars Omega 22mm — 1.8mm diameter
€12,95
Set of two Omega 22mm spring bars for lug fitting, in tempered Swiss Standard steel. Pin diameter: 1.8mm. Correct size for Seamaster Planet Ocean 43.5mm and 45.5mm, Constellation 38, Seamaster 300 vintage-style heritage, Speedmaster Racing 44.
On the Planet Ocean the lug is wide, the watch is heavy, and the wrist moves. The 1.8mm pin at 22mm of clearance is the combination that holds firm a diver’s strap with its 200 grams of leather and buckle. With a smaller diameter, the strap works loose — and a diver’s strap that works loose is a problem.
I fit them on the 22mm rubber and leather straps I make for the Planet Ocean and Constellation 38. Nothing aftermarket: the same diameter used by the manufacture.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 1.8mm diameter really necessary for a Planet Ocean 43.5, or can I use a more standard 1.6mm?
No, I would advise against the 1.6mm. The Planet Ocean is heavy (200+ grams with a diver's strap), the lug is wide and the wrist moves about a fair amount. With a thinner pin the strap starts to work laterally, and on a diver's watch that is a risk that is not worth taking. The 1.8mm really holds it steady.
Do these spring bars fit all Omega watches with a 22mm lug width, or is there anything else I should check?
The diameter of the pin is the critical factor: if your lugs have 1.8mm holes, they will fit. If you are not sure, measure the hole with a calliper or send me a photo. They work on vintage Seamaster 300, Constellation 38, Speedmaster Racing 44, but do not assume — check your specific watch.
Can I install these spring bars myself, or do I risk damaging the watch?
If you have a decent spring bar tool, yes, it is not difficult. If not, rely on a watchmaker: it does not cost much and it is not worth the risk of scratching the lugs or losing the piece. There are two bars, the job takes 5 minutes, do not hurt yourself to save a little money.
What is the difference between these and the spring bars I can find online for 10 euros?
Material and temper. These are correctly hardened Swiss Standard steel: they withstand tension changes without deforming. Low-cost ones often fail after months, especially if you wear the watch daily. On a Planet Ocean underwater, it's not the place to cut corners.
