Adjusting the metal bracelet
The metal bracelet of your IWC watch can be readily
adjusted to the size of your wrist. You can make this
adjustment yourself by removing or adding individual
bracelet links.
Taking the bracelet apart
and removing individual links
Open the push-button release
safety clasp by pressing the button
on the side. Lay the bracelet with
its top surface on a firm base.
Using the special tools provided,
you can now push down the secur-
ing pin (1) at the desired point of separation and, at
the same time, displace the pivot pin laterally by about
3 mm (2) with the second special tool.
Now pull the protruding pivot pin
from the bracelet (3). The metal
bracelet is now separated, and you
can adjust the length of the brace-
let by removing or adding indi-
vidual links.
Determining bracelet length
Place the watch with the bracelet
open around your wrist and esti-
mate the number of surplus brace-
let links that you can now remove
from the bracelet (as described
above).
If you need to shorten the bracelet by several links, you
should remove the same number of links from each half
of the bracelet, if possible, to ensure that the clasp can
be worn more or less at the centre of the wrist. To enable
you to adapt the bracelet as accurately as possible to
the size of your wrist, we have included an extra-long
bracelet link in the clasp. Your bracelet is shortened by
an intermediate amount by omitting this bracelet link,
and finer adjustment to the length of the bracelet can be
made in this way.
Keep the surplus links and the separating tools safely
for use in subsequent adjustments.
