Oyster: A basic deployant clasp that clips into place with some pressure. OysterLock: Same as the Oyster above, but with another brace that clips over the clasp to provide more security. To release it, you need to flip the brace and then flip open the rest of the clasp to the right. FlipLock: Same as the OysterLock but with the addition of the diver’s extension. The Fliplock is a longer clasp in order to hold the extension. President The “President” bracelet is named the honor of Dwight D. Eisenhower who wore one of the first of that bracelet in 1956 when it was introduced. Rolex had given DDE (Winston Churchill as well) an 18KT DateJust in 1946 to celebrate winning WWII. When it was returned for an overhaul in ’56 the new bracelet was fitted and that’s why the bracelet is called the President. The Day-Date is frequently referred to as the “President”, but technically the name refers to the bracelet. Ike’s watch was actually a DateJust!
