Spring Bars

Spring bars are the unsung heroes of every watch strap — securing your case to your wrist safely. Over time, they wear down, lose tension, or rust, risking your entire build. Enthusiasts who swap between leather straps and NATO straps should inspect their bars often. Use double-flanged options for easy removal and better grip with spring bar tools. Whether restoring a Seiko mod or vintage diver, proper bars ensure security and peace of mind.

See our complete Spring Bar Compatibility Chart to match your case size. Replace old bars every 12–18 months for safety and wipe them clean using microfiber cloths. For long-term corrosion resistance, apply light oil during reassembly. Keep spares inside your storage box or tool roll for emergencies. The strongest builds come down to the smallest parts – and spring bars are proof.
