Rolex and Tudor watches use spring bars built to slightly different specifications than standard references. These spring bars are designed to fit the lugs of iconic Rolex models — submariner, datejust, GMT and Tudor cousins.
Product overview
This generic Rolex / Tudor spring bar is a precision watch part designed to match the lug-hole geometry of the brand's case construction. The tip retracts deeply into its tube, allowing it to be inserted between the drilled lugs of a Rolex case without binding. The bar itself is machined from hardened stainless steel to withstand the higher tension required by Oyster, Jubilee and President bracelets. Available in several lengths and diameters, with silver and gold-tone finishes to match steel, two-tone and yellow gold cases.
Technical specifications
- Material: hardened stainless steel, polished or PVD gold finish
- Diameters available: typically Ø1.80 mm with deep retraction
- Lengths available: 19, 20, 21 mm and adjacent sizes
- Finish: silver-tone (steel) or gold-tone (PVD)
- Compatibility: Rolex Oyster, Jubilee, President; Tudor Black Bay, Heritage
- Application: bracelet-to-case attachment on Rolex / Tudor references
When to use it
Replace your spring bar whenever your Rolex or Tudor bracelet feels loose at the lug, whenever the bar shows visible wear, or whenever you fit an aftermarket leather, rubber or NATO strap. A worn bar is the most common reason a Rolex bracelet detaches unexpectedly — preventive replacement every few years is wise, especially on daily-worn sports watches. Note: these are generic replacement parts and are not affiliated with Rolex SA or Tudor.
How to install / use
- Lay the watch on a soft pad, lugs facing up.
- Hold the new spring bar against the bracelet end-link or strap loop.
- Use a Bergeon 6767 or equivalent fork tool to compress both tips simultaneously.
- Slide the bar into the lug holes and release the tool — listen for the click.
- Tug the bracelet firmly to confirm the bar is fully seated.

FAQ
Are these official Rolex parts?
No. These are high-quality generic spring bars sized to fit Rolex and Tudor cases. They are not original Rolex SA parts.
Which length do I need?
Most modern Rolex sport models use a 20 mm bar, but lug widths range from 19 to 21 mm. Measure your existing bar with a caliper.
Can I use a standard spring bar instead?
Standard bars often lack the deep retraction required by Rolex lug-hole geometry and may not seat correctly. We recommend the dedicated Rolex pattern.

Care and maintenance
To prolong the life of your watch and its fittings, rinse stainless steel parts under fresh water after exposure to salt, chlorine or sweat, and dry them with a soft cloth. Avoid contact with harsh solvents, perfumes and abrasive cleaners. Inspect your spring bars or pins at least once a year and replace them at the first sign of bending, surface rust or loss of tension. A small investment in fresh fittings is the cheapest insurance against losing your watch.
