Through boutique? I looked online nothing came up under clasp / accessories. Don’t you have large wrist? I was SHOCKED I only needed one link out for a 16.5cm wrist

I purchased the clasp through iwc concierge 800 number. Yes, my wrist is right at 7.5. My current fit is ok when it’s warm, a bit too loose when cool. I’m just assuming I can get it perfect with the new clasp.

I remember seeing a YouTube video where the speaker said IWC would offer to retrofit the adjustable clasp. That’s not actually the case? One has to buy it?

It would be great to get photos and your thoughts on the clasp in terms of practicality and impact on aesthetics.

Post some photos when you get it set up!

It has not. I actually just got updated shipment notification today. Currently says will be here Tuesday.

[dr.ns23]

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted!

In and on. Took about 5 mins max. Its a nice add. I don't know what the official specs are but I have the butterfly at 5.6mm thick and this at 7.2, so just slightly thicker. Which was expected. Again, I don't know what the official increments are but looking at the adjustment points it looks about 1.5mm per click, about a full links worth. I may play around with pulling a link to fine tune, but I'm going outside where its relatively hot and humid 1st - to check temp variation fit. It's a nice solid piece, does recommend.

Thanks for reporting back!

It's what I expected. Looks quite small - which is good. And with a lot of adjustment, like all their other bracelets with the same quick adjust offering.

Thank you for sharing!

Is it available for the titanium model? Or just the steel ?

I believe this is the part number for mine. This one has the PCL bits for the aqua version

I do not know, but got the impression that both versions of the steel are available.

I assume so.

Yes, there are two versions, steel and titanium.

If the Ti clasp is out, that would make 3. There are 2 different SS options - with and without the polished center pieces.

The clasp has links? I don’t see them in the above picture.

This is very nice: looks like the same clasp as on the Glashutte Original SeaQ, which is one of the best in the business. Sadly, it breaks up the sports bracelet design that is the hallmark of the ingenieur (and the Royal Oak, Nautilus, and Octo Finissimo). So I think I will stick with the current bracelet (slightly too loose) and take out a link in winter (which will be slightly too tight).

I agree, this is the better look:

More specifically, I think the IWC logo, which is the release for the adjustment is polished to match the polished bits.
