Alternatives to easy link or glidelock?

[Auragentum]

The easy link and glidelock functions are some of my favorite features. So much in fact that I find myself wearing my GMTIIc and LVc more frequently than other watches in the collection.

Which got me thinking... I'm wondering which other brands have similar bracelet designs? I am not thinking of a dive suit deployant clasp like on the Omega Seamaster Professional or the Sea Dweller, but a function used to adapt to the wrist's expansion and contraction.

Do you know of other brands? If so please feel free to chime in

[The GMT Master]

Omega Ploprof and Tudor Pelagos spring to mind

Well, the mesh bracelet of the Omega Ploprof has a fine-adjustable clasp, too. Same applies to the rubber strap for the Ploprof. As does the (now discontinued, I believe? ) Diver Pro rubber strap from Breitling... The steel bracelet for the Glashütte Original Sport Evolution has a on-the-wrist fine adjusting feature, as well.

Yeah, forgot about the Pelagos clasp... Good one, GMT Master! Tried it out recently and really liked it!

Seiko makes one, as well, for one of their dive watches.

Thanks guys!

Knew about the Pelagos as I tried one out recently. I find the adjusting spring mechanism quite cool

Love the Ploprof design! Didn't know it was "micro" adjustable.

Come to think of it, I was also aware of Seiko. As far as I recall the Marine Master clasp has micro adjustments as well.

If I only had larger wrists I would get all of them in a heartbeat! Great watches!

Are there perhaps other non-Rolex watches out there which are about 40mm in size?

IWC is rolling out a very similar clasp on their new models. Take a look at Ref 3777 for instance. GO also offers a functionally identical clasp on some of their sports models.

The deployant has a racheting mechanism that gives about an inch or so of fine adjustment.

I had no idea others had a similar clasp. Thanks everyone.
