The metal bracelet has been designed so that you can easily
adjust it to the size of your wrist. You can make this adjustment
yourself by removing or adding individual bracelet links. Further­
more, for your personal convenience, this bracelet has an innova­
tive fine adjustment system, permitting you to extend or reduce
the length of the bracelet quite simply by up to 6 millimetres,
depending on your needs. To increase the length of bracelet,
press the button with the IWC logo and pull the bracelet slightly
apart. To shorten it, push it together in the area of the clasp; here
the button does not need to be pressed.

Open the folding clasp by pressing the button on the side. Lay the
bracelet with the outside on a firm base. To avoid scratching the
bracelet and base, place a cloth underneath the bracelet. Using
the special tool provided, you can now push down the fixing bolt
at the desired point of separation and, at the same time, slide the
bracelet link outwards (1). Now slide the opposing external brace­
let link away from the bracelet with both the hinged links, without
pushing down its fixing bolt (2). The bracelet is now separated (3).

Place the watch with the folding clasp closed around your wrist
and use the overlap to estimate the number of surplus bracelet
links that you can now remove as described below. If you need
to shorten the bracelet by several links, we recommend removing
the same number of links from each half of the bracelet, if pos­
sible, to ensure that the clasp can be worn more or less in the
centre of the wrist.
