Spring bars Rolex Explorer 14270 — 20mm drilled lugs
€12,95
Set of two spring bars for Rolex Explorer reference 14270 drilled lugs version, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between lugs. Pin 1.8mm. Drilled lugs. The 14270 is the Explorer I produced from 1989 to 2001 — drilled lugs version for the initial phase 1989-1996, first phase before the transition to closed lugs.
The drilled 14270 is the small technical secret of the modern Explorer I family. Applied indices, sapphire crystal, but still drilled lugs like a vintage — the only modern Explorer I with the through-hole. Pin 1.8mm: neither the pure vintage 2.0mm nor the modern 1.5mm, but the correct specification on these transitional lugs. Serious collectors prefer this variant for direct strap changes with a pin pusher.
Same spring bars on every drilled-lug 14270.

Frequently asked questions
What size are these spring bars?
20mm between the lugs, 1.8mm pin. These are the exact measurements for the 14270 drilled lugs.
Do they also fit the 14270 with blind lugs?
No. These spring bars are designed for the drilled lugs version, the first phase of the 14270, 1989-1996. With blind lugs, fitting works differently.
What material are they made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. Sturdy, designed to keep the strap secure on a daily-wear watch.
Why is the pin 1.8mm and not 2.0 or 1.5?
Because the drilled 14270 is a transitional reference. It has neither the pure vintage 2.0mm pin nor the modern 1.5mm one: 1.8mm is the correct size for these lugs.
Does the through-hole serve a particular purpose?
Yes. With drilled lugs, the strap change is done with a spring bar tool, directly, without removing the dial. This is why many collectors prefer this specific version of the 14270.
