In an industry dominated by words like “unique” and “icon” it would be easy to assume that modern classics are rolling off production lines or being delicately lifted from the cradles of creation that are. Weighing in at a hefty 27 grams, the 6767-F feels nicely balanced in the hand and gives you a sense of quality like no other spring bar tool I’ve used.

Since I have no watches with fully drilled lugs, I have not had the chance to use the pointed tip yet.The long threads are secured deep into the handle body to ensure the tips are able to withstand the high torque and pressure need to remove strong spring bars. Bergeon has been manufacturing tools, equipment, and furniture for watchmakers and enthusiasts in Switzerland since 1791. I have been using a chinese 50 cent strap removal tool for the past year and just got fed up with it. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Marathon x Bergeon Spring Bar Tool is constructed by Bergeon, one of the most trusted horological tool manufacturers in the world.

Made by the world famous Swiss watch tool specialists, Bergeon, these high quality spring bar tools are designed to remove straps from watches which have standard or flanged spring bars. Although it is not always required (depending on the style of spring bar), a good spring bar tool will allow mere novices to quickly remove and install straps while greatly reducing the likelihood of scratching their watch case in the process.The Bergeon 6767-F comes in a simple plastic snap closure package with a paper insert describing the tool and options for replacement tips. With its textured, matte-black handle, the tool offers a firm and confident grip, enabling precise control during intricate operations.
