Forstner's expandable Komfit JB (JB Champion) stainless steel mesh watch bracelet was one of the only bands sanctioned by NASA for use on manned space missions. It was worn by astronauts throughout the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, and even made it to the surface of the moon.
Now, after a long hiatus (during which only high-priced vintage models could be sourced), Forstner has improved and reissued this classic. The wide version of the Komfit has all the features that popularized the bracelet with NASA, and is identical to the original -- with the width increased to more contemporary proportions.
Material:
- 18mm-wide square-patterned central mesh section.
- Beautifully designed straight bar universal fit end pieces.
- Forward-facing clasp.
Sizing:
- Spring-loaded ends fit 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm and 22mm watch lugs.
- 2mm thick.
- Offered in two lengths: Original and Regular.
- Original: once worn by astronauts over their space suits; equivalent to a "long" length. Fits wrists 7" - 10".
- Regular: fits small to medium wrists (5-3/4" - 7").
- For 7" wrists either length will work, but the Original may provide the best look.
- Easily adjustable in micro-increments for the perfect fit.
- Accommodates spring bars up to 1.8mm (included).

FAQ
Q: Do you sell watch bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.
Q: Can you suggest a strap that looks amazing with my watch?
A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.
Q: I have an Apple watch. Will any of your straps work for me?
A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.
Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.
Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.
Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help me shorten it?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.
Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes! Visit our Shipping & Returns page for more information.
Q: May I return my purchase?
A: Holben's Fine Watch Bands accepts returns of unworn, undamaged merchandise for refund or exchange within thirty days of purchase. Learn more on our Shipping & Returns page.
