Choosing the size

Most straps taper, so a strap that is 22mm at the case often ends at 18mm or 20mm. Measure the strap’s end before ordering. Buckles are easy to lose when you change straps, and they are one of the first parts to show scratches, so a spare is useful when you fit a new aftermarket strap.

How to fit it

1. Work on a soft cloth so the watch case is protected.
2. Use a spring bar tool to release the small spring bar that holds the old buckle on the strap.
3. Place the new buckle on the strap end, refit the spring bar and check that it is seated on both sides.
4. Close the buckle a few times to make sure it holds. The watch case is never opened.
