The materials we use allows a water resistance of up to 5ATMWhat does 5atm mean?
ATM or “atmospheres” is the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking. A 5ATM watch will withstand pressures equivalent to depth of 50 meters, or 165ft under water. It is important to note that this is a measure of pressure NOT depth.
5ATM is suitable for rain, splashing and showering but not diving, snorkelling or water sports.
How to Adjust / Resize your watch band
A pin pusher can be used to resize stainless steel straps and adjust pin and collar systems.
With stainless steel straps, there tends to be a set of arrows on the inside of the strap. These show you which way you’re supposed to push the pins out which is really useful. Also, bear in mind that the pins with arrows are the only removable ones.
If you look at the close-ups of the inside of the strap, you’ll see the clearly stamped arrows. Be mindful though… Doing it the other way might break your links.
The pins will have a rounded end, and a side with a split end. Using the pin pusher, and making sure you’re pushing on the rounded side, push the pin all the way out of the strap. Repeat until you’ve removed the links you want to.
Then, when joining the links back together, make sure you put the pin in the opposite direction to the arrow - round end down.
Once the pin is slotted into the strap, use the pin pusher or spring bar tool to ensure it’s securely installed. If you don’t do this, it’s likely to be loose, and you risk the strap breaking and possible loss of the pin.
To link the strap together, slot the small sleeve into the wider hole on the inside of the link. Then join the links together and slide the metal pin through the holes. Please note that one side of the pins will have a narrow line engraved onto it. This side will have to click into the hollow piece of metal you just put in.
When it comes to pin and collar bracelets, there are a few different types to consider, such as super engineer straps - but they can be adjusted in the same way.
To remove a link from your pin, use a pin pusher. Much like with stainless steel straps, in order to make sure you’re pushing the pins out the right way, there will usually be arrows telling you which way to push. Doing it the other way round risks breaking the links.
Push the pins you need to remove all the way out.
We highly recommend visiting a local Watch store and for very inexpensive amount, have them remove the links for you.
