Deployant Buckle or Invisible Double Locking Clasp

The Deployant Buckle or Invisible Double-Locking Clasp is also known as the Hidden Deployant Buckle or Butterfly Clasp, because, when closed, the clasp is essentially invisible and it opens symmetrically like a butterfly. This is perhaps one of the most common clasps available and most preferred by customers because the clasp is not a distraction from the watch itself. The clasp is opened by pulling the joined ends of the bracelet away from the wrist. These clasps also come on some of the leather and other non-metal strapped watches.
