INTERCHANGEABLE STRAPS
Includes Movado Heritage Series models
T
he straps on select Movado watches are easy to interchange using the Strap Tool that comes with an
accessory strap purchase on Movado.com. Spring-bar or tension-style pins with narrow tips and a wider,
compressible middle section attach these straps to the watch case via tiny holes in the lugs.
The forked end of the Strap Tool is used to apply pressure to the wider portion of the pin to compress it for
strap removal or attachment. The pointed end is used to push the pin out of one strap so it can be used with a
new one.
To remove a strap:
1. With the watch facing
down on a cloth or
soft surface to prevent
scratching, firmly but
carefully insert the fork
end of the Strap Tool
between the watch
lug and the strap.

2. Apply sideways
pressure to compress
the pin toward the
center of the strap.

3. When the tip of the
pin is free from the
hole in the lug on that
side, gently maneuver
the strap down until it
clears the case. The
other end of the pin
should then pop out
easily from hole in the
opposite lug, freeing
the strap from the
watch case.

Repeat steps above
to remove the other
half of the strap.
To attach a strap:

end of the strap should
be attached to the top

If necessary, use the
pointed end of the Strap
Tool to remove a pin from
one strap, and center it
properly in a new one.
1. Place the watch head
face down on a cloth
or soft surface to
prevent scratching.

facing down, insert one
tip of the pin into the
lug hole.
