The Story
Forstner's expandable mesh watch band (called the "Komfit") was one of the only watch bracelets sanctioned by NASA for use on manned space missions. It was worn by astronauts throughout the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, and even made it to the surface of the moon. Now, after a long hiatus during which time only vintage models could be sourced at high prices, we have reissued and improved this classic watch strap.
Details
The present wide version Komfit band has all the features that popularized the bracelet with NASA astronauts, but the width has been increased to more contemporary proportions. In particular, this wide version Komfit band has an 18mm wide central mesh portion in yellow gold plated stainless steel, and spring-loaded end pieces that expand to fit watches with lugs up to 22mm (it can compress inward to fit watches with lugs as narrow as 19mm). The bracelet is otherwise identical to the classic gold plated Komfit -- with its square-patterned mesh, beautifully decorated spring-loaded end pieces, forward-facing clasp, and ability to be easily sized in micro-increments for the perfect fit.
End Piece Construction/Width
Straight "universal" fit end piece with spring loaded construction (can compress when pressed). Fits watches with 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, or 22mm lugs. End piece fits spring bars up to 1.8mm thick.
Mesh Width
18 mm at the central mesh portion.
Size/Length
Fits wrists ranging from approximately 6-8 inches in circumference (minimum length 130mm, max length 225mm).
Included
Internal lug protectors provided with each order.
