Thick Spring Bars (2x)

$5.00

Thicker, Better, Faster, Stronger. Okay, the “Faster” bit might be a stretch. But the rest is all true! It might seem somewhat trivial, but the thought of spring bar failures does not live rent-free in many watch-wearers minds; The level of anxiety is high, and somewhat valid.

One of the most common modes of failure besides blunt trauma or excessive pressure across the midsection tends to be internal spring degradation. Over time, those tiny coils can become corroded and more susceptible to complete failure.

So, what does one do about that? Well, there’s only so much spring you can squeeze into a tiny barrel. Thereby making the first step to increase the overall diameter to contain a beefier spring and a stronger outer shell. Which in turn means broader, double flanges, followed by reinforced tips on each end- Tips which completely fill the pin holes of your watch lugs, thereby reducing unnecessary wear to these vital features due to a sloppy fitment from normal spring bars.

In short, these bars represent a small yet mighty upgrade to an area of your watch that is far more neglected than it should be.

NOTE: Your watch must have enough lug space to use these. The added thickness may not leave enough room for straps to move between them and your watch case.

SPECS:

  • 2.50mm Outer Diameter

  • 1.00mm Tip Diameter

  • Ships in Pairs (2x)

  • Available in 20mm & 22mm Widths

  • 316 Stainless Steel
