From a Citizen product. Clasp is released by lifting on the solid piece of the bracelet nearest the clasp. The clasp can be slid along the bracelet to adjust for wrist size. Pressing down on the same solid piece relocks the clasp.

I have a couple of those on my 70s LCDs A158. Bracelet is fairly thin.

Could be because I have a small wrist, but the two I have (had, one went somewhere, can't find it) never seemed to fit properly. I'm also not a big bracelet fan as I prefer leather straps. I have a few spare bracelets now ( still hunting for the rest of 'em, have obviously put them somewhere safe  )  |

I quite like this style of clasp / bracelet. The only disadvantage is the risk of dropping the watch as you do the clasp up (or more accurately as you don't do it up) as it is a little fiddly. But, it's no more fiddly than a leather strap.

I agree with you, Sir Alan. Infinitely adjustable so you never wish you could be "between holes"
Also agree it can dicey trying to close it until you get the hang of it. But you learn.

I have a couple and they are 'infinitely' adjustable so you can never say they don't fit.
The only issue I have is that after a time the clamp/lever becomes a bit loose and slides when you are wearing the watch. No problem though, it's easy to adjust the tension for no more slipping.

Omega used that type of clasp on some of their 60's and 70's dive watches. I like them and they hold the bracelet well.

The old Seiko A0xx digital alarms used this type of clasp, as did some of the 0634 chronos.
I like them. They work well enough, and make the clasp area of the watch much less bulky than with the common Z-clasp.

Lucky for me I wore body armour when I was 9 then! Cooter (Ben Jones), myself and the ex at Cooters place in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia on the trail of the lonesome pine.  |
