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 pro-
vided, you can now push down the securing 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 bracelet by removing or adding
individual links.
Determining bracelet length
Place the watch with the bracelet open around your wrist
and estimate the number of surplus bracelet 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.
