Adjusting the metal bracelet
The metal bracelet of your IWC watch can be readily ad-
justed to the size of your wrist. You can make this adjust-
ment 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 sur-
face on a firm base. Using the special
tools provided, you can now push
down the securing pin (1) at the de-
sired 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.
The metal bracelet is now separated,
and you can adjust the length of the
bracelet by removing or adding indi-
vidual links. Note that only the brace-
let links in the area of the clasp can be
separated, and the marking on the
securing pin is provided to help you.
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 sev-
eral 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.
Keep the surplus links and the sepa-
rating tools safely for use in subse-
quent adjustments.
