How to install a deployant clasp

They should click open and reveal a small pin, known as the post. If you are unable to open the flap with your fingers, use a penny or similarly-sized coin. Insert the penny between the branded top and the unmarked flap. Twist the coin to either side.

The pressure should force the flap to drop open. Thread the other leather strap through the now-open buckle. Flip the watch over so the crystal face is pointing down.

Slip the end of the strap without the deployment clasp into the buckle, between the two metal flaps. Note that the watch will look larger now than it will once the deployment clasp is closed again.

Keep that in mind while adjusting the length of the strap. Put the post through the desired hole in the leather strap.

The leather strap will feature a row of small holes through the center. Press the flaps of the buckle together to snap it shut. Close the flap by pressing it back up toward the branded top bar. Fold the clasp thirds back up, pushing the top and bottom in between your fingers until you hear a click.

Part 3. Put on the watch and close the non-buckle side of the clasp. Slip the watch over your hand and onto your wrist. Fold the non-buckle side of the deployment clasp closed and snap it shut with your thumb and forefinger. Slip the end of the leather strap through the leather loop and push down. Grab the end of the leather band without the buckle and slide it through the small leather loop on the other band.

Push it through until it lays flat against the other band, then push down gently against your wrist with your finger. The second half of the deployment clasp will snap shut. At this point, the watch band is secure on your wrist. The band should be tight enough to stay on your wrist without turning or slipping off your hand, but it should not be tight enough to dig into your skin or cut off any circulation. One note — some third-party deployment clasps are not meant to be used with metal bands.

Be sure to look into this before investing in one. No matter your watch type and band size, you should be able to click a link or two above and find items that will work for you.

Be aware that many watch bands have a taper and are narrower at the end where the buckle attaches than at the end where the watch attaches. You can use a spring bar tool or just your fingernail to press one end of the spring bar, and then it will be released.

As a precaution, every package includes a free spare spring bar remomve tool and 4pcs spring bars. Remember Me. Lost your password? Which leads us to the next point….
