What do 200 and 300 mean for deployant clasps?

200 stands for a silver, 300 for a gold deployant clasp – the same for LX, CX and WX.

When do I need XL?

If you have to use the last hole of a standard strap or it feels too short. XL straps are approx. 2 cm longer.

How is strap length measured?

Both pieces together, without the buckle. Depending on width, a standard strap measures approx. 17 or 19 cm.

Can I change the strap myself?

Yes – with a spring bar tool it only takes a few minutes. The guide “Changing a strap” shows every step.
