Quick edit : Perhaps I'm seeing one of those sliding pin activated spring bars* where the strap has a split in it to access the pin thingee. I only became aware of those recently, a very clever way to keep strap tools away from the lugs on a nice watch (sensible too on a precious metal case with no lug holes). Thinking out loud here - perhaps I'm wrong .

* Dunno what the proper name is.
Yes, they are cool. Minimize the risk of risking the lugs. Had them on a vintage Omega.
But it is usually on the back of the strap and not visible from the front.


I wish aftermarket strap manufacturers would make more straps with cuts for this kind of pins.
