Sinn – On The Fly Extension Link Installation Guide

Tools Required

  • The hex key supplied with your Sinn watch (for hex bolts)
  • Push-pin or spring-bar tool
  • (Optional) Purple Loctite 222 low-strength threadlocker — may help secure the screw, but avoid excess as it can make future removal difficult.

Installation Steps

  1. Remove the clasp from the bracelet


    • Use a push-pin or spring-bar tool to depress the spring bar that connects the clasp to the bracelet.
    • Detach the clasp completely.


  2. Remove the original diver’s extension


    • The Sinn diver’s extension is held in place by hex bolts.
    • Using your Sinn-supplied hex key, remove the bolts securing it to the bracelet.
    • Retain the original bolts — they will be used to install your On The Fly link.


  3. Install the Steel Reef On The Fly Extension Link


    • Position the extension link where the diver’s extension was removed.
    • Using your original Sinn hex bolts, secure it in place with the hex key.
    • (Optional) Apply a very small drop of Loctite 222 to the bolt threads before tightening.


  4. Reattach the clasp


    • With the extension link in the open position, slide the clasp’s connector into the extension link’s folding arms.
    • Use the spring-bar tool to depress the spring bar and secure the clasp back onto the bracelet.

About Bracelet Fit

  • The OTF replaces the Sinn diver’s extension, which is designed for wetsuit use and not daily micro-adjustment.
  • You may need to adjust your bracelet attachment point along the clasp’s micro-adjustment holes to achieve your perfect fit.
