Omega list part number 068ST2208 as the correct spring bar for a 105.003 (ed white) case. 1.8mm diameter. As I stated above. Omega don't list another spring bar option for this case reference. I don't think that I'm missing anything, but I could be...

All I can say is, if you want to try a 2208 with 19 mm lugs, it might be difficult...fully compressed it is well over 20 mm.

Al, what would be the typical difference in length for a bar destined for a strap vs a bracelet, assuming the inner width of the lugs is a constant?

Sure, I understand that spring bars that are bigger than the bracelet can't be installed. My question is this - Omega list the 2208 as the only correct spring bar for the Ed White case reference. I was wondering if you knew why this is so? is it perhaps referring to the correct spring bar for a modern, replacement case for that model which has 20mm lugs?

No idea...I would have said if I knew...

Depends on what bracelet. For a 20mm bracelet, you won't want to use this one, you will want a 068ST2207. The 068ST2208 is for a 20 mm strap, not a bracelet. It would be fine for a 21mm bracelet though...



I must be missing something: if 2208 can go on a 20mm strap, how does it fit in between 20mm lugs if the compressed length is greater than 20mm?

Your picture does not show the bar completely compressed.

It does but it's because he's measuring including the ends of the tips.

No, that’s not it. It’s because during installation, one side goes into a hole, thereby decreasing the effective length.
