Why choose a butterfly deployment buckle

A double deployment buckle opens symmetrically on both sides, so the strap does not have to be threaded and pulled each time you put the watch on. That saves wear on a rubber or leather strap and makes the watch quicker to take on and off. Stainless steel resists corrosion in everyday wear. For a different style, compare the folding buckle for Patek Philippe.

How to fit it

1. Lay the watch on a soft cloth to protect the case.
2. Use a spring bar tool to release the small spring bar that holds the current buckle on the strap end.
3. Place the new buckle on the strap end and refit the spring bar until it clicks into place.
4. Close and open the buckle a few times to check it holds securely.

Only the buckle is changed; the watch case is never opened.
