Hello all, apologies if this has been posted before but I did not see it in a search.

I am considering the Atoll



and there are not a lot of pics online of the watch's Bader clasp.

I am past my 'chunky watch' phase and prefer low profile watches. I like the specs of this watch as far as the case BUT am leery of the bader bracelet clasp as I hear it is long and thick on the wrist. [For comparison, just got a pair of 12's and love the sleekness of both]

Opinions from owners on wearability? I asked CW rep if a regular diver clasp was available, no. Rep also said 'mine wears well on the wrist'. Great, but I'd like opinions.

Thanks!

CW have recently updated the spec on the Bader bracelet for the C60 40mm Trident Pro 3.1 inc. Atoll, following feedback that the lengthened clasp had become too long, at 43mm.

The current Bader bracelet and clasp spec is listed as;-

Sizing; Single Screw
Clasp Length; 37mm
Micro-adjustment; 3mm
Extension; 6mm

I'll probably be able to add a photo or two later on.

Hope this helps.

thanks guy! appreciate the quick response.
if you can add a photo later that would be great [no rush]!
knowing that the spec was updated gives me a push towards purchase.

Where are these new specs listed on the site. I'm wondering if this new clasp has filtered down to the bracelets for the smaller watches, like the 36mm Sealanders that desperately need a Bader bracelet with a smaller clasps.

My apologies, I should have stated my 'source' for the information in my earlier post.

This might have been, simply, that I had measured the clasp on a bracelet I have. It isn't this.

As it happens, whilst the information is not on the CW website, it is within a spreadsheet of Bracelet specifications received recently by The Admin Team from CW, for us to filter and include the pertinent data within the Bracelets section of the CWArchive which is a 'current work in progress'.

As for the 36mm C63 Sealander? This has yet to be upgraded and is still using the 43mm, 5 click clasp.

Okay; photo time.

Here are some comparison photos to show the differences between the 'old' 43mm / 5 click / 10mm extension clasp and 'new' 37mm / 3 click / 6mm extension clasp.

I've used a 20mm bracelet from my C60 Atoll 300, purchase on release in June last year for the 'old', and a 22mm bracelet from a 42 C60 Trident 300 bought in November last year for the 'new'.







On my 7.5" wrist;-

'Old' - 43mm




'New' - 37mm




As it happens, despite the 20mm / 22mm lug width difference, both bracelets taper to c.16.5mm at the point where they join to the clasp, which then has an external measurement of c.18mm i.e. both bracelets use the same width clasp (makes for an easier life on the Inventory front).

Thanks for the photos. So much better IMO. I would expect this should become the default? I’ll wait a while then.

appreciate the photos. the shorter clasp looks much better proportioned to the 40mm/thin height atoll case. this is definitely on the radar now on the assumption that it sells with the shorter clasp. thanks again!
