Inspired by classic racing driver watch straps, the Rallye band by ETERNEL stands out with its micro-perforated leather, sporty-chic lines, and most importantly, its stainless steel deployant clasp. This high-end closure system, traditionally used in fine watchmaking, allows for quick wrist fitting, precise adjustment, and optimal security. Unlike standard buckles, it reduces leather wear over time and offers superior comfort. The Rallye is currently the only model in the collection to feature this exceptional clasp, designed to elevate your Apple Watch with both character and technical sophistication.
Steps to attach the deployant clasp
-
Open the clasp mechanism
As shown in the video, open the metal part at the end of the clasp. The mechanism is firm by design, so don't hesitate to apply slight pressure.
-
Adjust to your wrist size
Temporarily close the clasp to place the pin in the hole that best fits your wrist. This adjustment is done with the band closed.
-
Fold the clasp closed
The system folds over itself. For this step, the band should already be wrapped around your wrist.
-
Insert the strap into the loops
While closing the clasp, slide the end of the strap into the loops, just like a traditional watch band.
-
Click to lock
Press firmly until you hear a click — this means the clasp is locked. To open, pull firmly on the clasp.
Usage tips
- Test the fit by moving your wrist slightly — the band should stay in place.
- If replacing the clasp or fitting it to another model, always check compatibility.
- Clean the leather regularly with a soft cloth to preserve the Rallye’s durability and patina.
