Key Features
- Premium 316L Stainless Steel Construction: Made from high-grade 316L stainless steel, these spring bars offer excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. This material is commonly used in luxury watchmaking due to its ability to resist tarnishing, pitting, and wear—even in demanding environments. The finish remains consistent over time, ensuring your watch maintains its refined look.
- Fat Spring Bar Design: Engineered with a thicker profile, these spring bars are optimized for watches with 20mm lug widths. The increased diameter enhances tension and grip, significantly reducing the risk of accidental strap detachment during active use. This design is particularly beneficial for rugged or sport-oriented timepieces like the Explorer II, where reliability is essential.
- Reliable and Durable Build: Each spring bar is precision-formed to ensure consistent performance and resistance to bending, warping, or breaking under normal stress. The robust construction supports long-term use, making them suitable for everyday wear and frequent strap changes. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a professional technician, you can trust these components to hold up over time.

Whether you’re installing a new leather band for a dressier look, switching to a durable NATO strap for outdoor adventures, or replacing a broken component during a service, these spring bars provide a reliable solution. They are particularly valuable for watchmakers and hobbyists who value precision and longevity in their tools and parts. The set is also useful for collectors restoring older models to working condition, where original hardware may no longer function properly.
Important Notes
Before purchasing, please confirm your watch model and lug width to ensure compatibility. These spring bars are specifically engineered for the Rolex Explorer II Reference 16570 and may not fit other Rolex models or aftermarket cases. Always handle spring bars with care during installation—using improper tools or excessive force can scratch the lugs or damage the spring mechanism. The package includes two stainless steel spring bars only; no installation tools or additional accessories are provided. For warranty details, refer to the manufacturer’s official guidelines. Compatibility is strictly model and size-specific, so double-check your watch’s reference number and lug measurements prior to ordering. Proper installation ensures optimal performance and protects your timepiece from potential damage.
