Care For Your Watch Guide
The Vintage Military style Bonklip watch bracelet is inspired by the designs of Gay Freres and JB Champion watch bracelets. It was launched in England in the late 1920s and is celebrated for its unique ladder-style design and remarkable adjustability, accommodating a variety of wrist sizes. Its lightweight and breathable nature contributed to its popularity among British Royal Air Force pilots during the 1940s and 1950s.
Bonklip-style bracelets were frequently included with military watches like the one we have in our picture, Leonidas Chronograph CP-2 for the Italian Army helicopters Pilot Force. The watch is not included.
Bamboo or Bonklip style watch bracelets are stainless steel bands featuring a ladder design that shares many characteristics with the Komfit watch bracelets, which gained favor among NASA astronauts for ease of wearing over the spacesuits.
EW Bonklip bracelet is designed to fit wrists between 15 cm and 21 cm, accommodating sizes approximately ranging from 6 to 8 inches. Each bracelet is equipped with 2 quick-release spring bars for effortless placement and removal.
EW has developed a vintage-inspired version that enhances previous designs with a spring-loaded clasp, providing a more intuitive yet secure wearing experience. bracelets are adjustable in approximately 5 mm increments, making them suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes, and they offer exceptional comfort.
