The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hey guys i'm planning on buying the Breitling Navitimer World watch with a leather strap but am still unsure whether to get the buckle or clasp....any pros and cons for each? Is the clasp easy to adjust to different sizes? Thanks in advance!

The main pros for a buckle are that it is much cheaper, and as the metal area is smaller you're less likely to scratch it. However, with a tang buckle you have to rely on the pre-made holes for your fit and also the strap takes more damage when you take the watch on/off. That damage will reduce the strap life.

The main pros for a deployant are the indefinite fitting options and that you will extend the strap life considerably. The deployant is much more expensive though and as it has a large metal area you can scratch it easier if you're not careful.

Regarding wearing comfort they are the same (in my opinion) if you manage to get a good fit with the tang buckle.

I would go for the deployant, every time.

Agree with Aleister - in fact I did in your duplicate thread!
