That I can totally see. But if a 2208 secures a bracelet on the 21mm, why is a longer bar needed for the strap?

You don't. You need a shorter bar for the bracelet...

I called an Omega authorized dealer who, after I relayed this information, told me I was wrong and that their information says that for a 21mm lug width using a strap, the correct bar would be the 2208. Your post was a number of years ago, but has this information changed? Thanks. They also wanted $25 for a set of two, so I’d like to get this right if possible.

Twenty-Five dollars? 😲 last time I needed a pair of spring bars my Boutique provided them to me.

25 is more than you would pay secondhand with shipping most likely! That's wild.

21mm lug width - use 2208's for a bracelet and 2209's for straps and NATO's. Alway use slightly longer spring bars for straps as it is a more secure fit.

You can buy spring bars directly from Swatch Group - a pack of 10 is $40.00.
