President Bracelet 17mm for Lady Date, 904L Steel, 6 Finishes

The President bracelet, in the size that was missing. Three rows of solid, half-round links, the shape that has always been the dress bracelet rather than the sports one, on a band narrow enough for a 31 mm case.

Will it fit my watch?

This bracelet is made for 31 mm round cases, with 17 mm between the lugs. It fits the Lady Date and the Classic Date in 31 mm straight out of the box.

The end links are the reason. Each one is hollowed into a concave crescent that wraps around a round case instead of leaving a gap, which is what happens when you put a flat-ended bracelet on a curved case. Not a Chrono Mod? Measure the gap between your lugs and send us your model, and we will confirm before you order.

Three rows, and why they look different

A Jubilee runs five rows of small flat links. The President runs three rows of domed ones, the centre row wider than the two beside it, each link curving up and catching the light along its length. The bracelet reads as a series of bright lines instead of a flat surface, and it sits heavier on the wrist. It is the same construction that made this shape the dress bracelet.

A butterfly clasp, hidden under the wrist

Both arms of the clasp fold in towards the centre and disappear, so the bracelet reads as one unbroken run of links all the way round. Nothing interrupts the pattern, and there is no folding cover sitting proud on top. It opens with two small push-buttons, pressed together with one hand. On a small watch this matters twice over: a full-size folding clasp is heavy on a slim wrist, and it shows.

904L, and why it is on the page

Most bracelets in this price range are 316L. This one is 904L, the grade the Swiss houses moved to because it resists corrosion and pitting far better, holds a polish longer and takes sweat, chlorine and salt without dulling. It is harder to machine, which is why few people use it, and it is the reason this bracelet still looks new after a summer of wear.

Screw-fixed links, not pins

Each link is held by a screw, not a friction pin. You resize it yourself with a small screwdriver, in a few minutes, and nothing shoots across the room. Pins loosen over time and get lost; screws do not.

Six finishes

Silver, Gold, Rose gold, Classic Black, and two two-tone options. The two-tone bracelets pair brushed steel outer rows with a polished gold or rose gold centre row, the way a factory two-tone bracelet is built, so the effect reads as construction rather than plating.

Not sure which finish?

Silver goes with everything and is the safe default. Gold Two Tone and Rose Gold Two Tone are the ones that change the watch the most for the least risk, because the steel outer rows keep them wearable. Classic Black is the one people buy for a second look.
