Handcrafted Straps
Spring bars Rolex Submariner 5512 — 20mm vintage
Set of two spring bars for Rolex Submariner reference 5512, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between the lugs. Pin diameter: 2.0mm. Drilled lugs. Compatible with the entire 5512 production, from 1959 to 1980 — the chronometer Submariner, sister of the 5513 without date.
The 5512 and the 5513 share case and bracelet. The difference lies in the certified chronometer movement of the 5512 versus the standard calibre of the 5513. For strap fitting nothing changes: same drilled hole, same 2.0mm pin, same work in the atelier. The earliest 5512s have the Big Crown case — rare pieces, but the spring bars remain these.
The same piece I fit in the atelier every time I work on a 5512.

Frequently asked questions
What size are these spring bars?
20mm between the lugs, with a 2.0mm diameter pin. The exact size for the 5512's lug hole.
Do they also fit the Submariner 5513?
Yes. The 5512 and 5513 share the same case and bracelet, the same drilled lug hole, and the same 2.0mm pin. Only the movement differs, not the lug.
Are the lugs drilled or friction-fit?
Drilled. On this model, this is the correct system, consistent with the entire 5512 production.
What material is it made of, and how does it hold up over time?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. It maintains spring tension without giving way, even after many removals.
Do they also fit the early examples with the Big Crown case?
Yes. The case changes, not the lug hole: the spring bar remains the same, 20mm with a 2.0mm pin.
