Handcrafted Straps
Spring bars Rolex Explorer 14270 — 20mm blind lugs
Set of two spring bars for Rolex Explorer reference 14270 drilled-lugless version, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between lugs. Pin 1.5mm. Closed lugs. The 14270 is the Explorer I produced from 1989 to 2001 — closed-lug version for the late phase, transition between the vintage 36mm dial and the modern 114270.
The closed-lug 14270 represents the modernisation of the Explorer I. Applied indices in place of the vintage pictograms, sapphire crystal, narrow fixed bezel, reliable calibre 3000. Pin 1.5mm on closed socket: the specification that would become standard on the subsequent 114270. When I work on a closed-lug 14270 for a leather strap, these are the spring bars.
The same piece on every closed-lug 14270.

Frequently asked questions
Are these spring bars suitable for my Explorer 14270?
Yes, if it is the blind lug version. 20mm lug width, 1.5mm pin for closed hole. Same piece for every 14270 blind lug.
Are they also suitable for the 114270?
No. Here we are referring to the 14270 blind lug. The 114270 is a different reference, not covered in this listing.
What material are they made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. A material designed to withstand lug pressure without giving way over time.
Does the set include two spring bars or just one?
Two. A complete pair, ready for a strap change.
Why is the pin 1.5mm and not the more common standard size?
Because the 14270 blind lug uses this closed hole. It is the same specification that later becomes standard on the following 114270, but here the pin is calibrated for this model.
