Handcrafted Straps
Spring bars Rolex GMT-Master 6542 gold — 20mm
Set of two spring bars for Rolex GMT-Master 6542 in yellow gold, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between the lugs. Pin 2.0mm. Drilled lugs. The 6542 is the first GMT-Master in history, produced from 1955 to 1959 — the watch of the Pan Am pilots that invented the dual time zone.
The gold 6542 is one of the rarest pieces in the entire Rolex vintage production. Pepsi bakelite bezel, small crown, 18kt case. Original leather straps almost all lost to time, and the few survivors need replacement. The spring bars for the 6542 are identical to those of the 1675: 20mm drilled, 2.0mm pin. Same technical family, same specification.
The same spring bars for every vintage 6542 I work on in the atelier.

Hardened Swiss Standard steel. A material that withstands the tension of the spring without giving way over time.

It means the case has a side hole on the lug. Through it I insert the tool and fit the spring bar without having to remove the strap from both sides.
