Step 1: Let's measure the size of the watch belt
If you do not know the size of the belt when replacing it, you will not be able to perform the replacement work.
A belt that does not fit properly cannot be attached to the watch if it is too large, and if it is too small, there is a risk that it will come off the watch belt and fall. To avoid such issues, make sure to check the correct size of the belt.
Measuring the size is easy. Measure the size of the belt attachment part (lug) to the nearest 1mm using a ruler or similar tool.

Step 2: Remove the belt
Remove the originally attached belt.
Remove the part called the "spring bar" of the belt using a special tool called a "spring bar remover."
*When purchasing a watch belt, a spring bar remover is included, so please rest assured.
The method of removing the belt varies slightly depending on whether there are holes in the lug part of the watch. First, please check your watch.
① If there is no hole in the lug
Insert the V-shaped side of the spring bar tool into the gap between the lug and the belt, hook it onto the groove of the spring bar, press down, and slide the belt off.
②If there is a hole in the lug
Insert the I-shaped side of the spring bar remover into the lug hole, push in the spring bar, and slide the belt to remove it.
*Please be careful as the spring bar may pop out at this time.

Step 3: Install the new belt
☆Normal type installation method
① Hook one side of the spring bar into the hole on the inside of the lug.
Hook the spring bar into the mounting hole (recessed part) inside the lug.
② Press down the opposite side of the spring bar to attach the belt.
Hold the watch and the strap firmly by hand. Use the V-shaped side of the spring bar tool to press down the opposite side of the spring bar hooked into the hole.
While pressing down, slide the belt towards the lug and hook the spring bar into both holes of the recessed part.
③Check that the installation is complete
Let's check if the belt fits snugly into the lug. Pull both ends of the belt to see if it comes off. If it doesn't come off, the replacement is complete.

☆How to install NATO type (pass-through strap)

② Pass the belt through the gap between the watch and the spring bar.
Insert the surface of the belt (the longer side) from the 12 o'clock side of the watch, pull it out from the 6 o'clock side, and pass it to the back of the watch.
③ Pass the surface threaded through the clock to the metal fitting on the back side (the shorter one)
④Check that the installation is complete
