Quick Release straps & how to change one?

Quick release straps have capsa spring bars which can be seen in the below image.

A strap with this type of spring bar has a noticeable pin to help you separate the strap from the watch’s lug making it super easy to mix and match your straps.

Don't forget to get the exact strap size you need for your watch, since spring bars have different sizes as well.

How to change your Quick Release watch strap

Step 1: Removing the old strap

To remove a watch strap that has quick release spring bar, locate the quick release lever on the back-side of the watch strap, as indicated in the photo below:

Pull the Quick Release lever towards the middle of the watch strap, and pull the watch strap away from the lug on the side of the lever.

Slide the other end of the spring bar out of the other lug, and remove the watch strap completely.

Repeat the previous steps for the other half of the watch strap so that both halves of the watch strap have been removed completely.

Step 2: Installing your new strap

Before installing the new Quick Release strap, note that the buckle end of the watch strap will be installed in the watch's top lugs, and the long end of the watch strap will be installed in the bottom lugs.

Slide the end of the spring bar that is opposite the quick-release lever into one side of the watch’s lugs.

Pull the quick-release lever towards the middle of the watch strap while aligning the spring bar with the hole in the watch lug. Release the quick-release lever and the spring bar should lock into the watch’s lugs.
