A Milanese mesh bracelet is designed to be both elegant and easy to adjust, with no special tools required. Follow the steps below for a comfortable, secure fit.

## What you'll need

- A small flathead tool (spring bar tool, flat screwdriver, or even a clean, sturdy thumbnail)

- A flat surface to work on

## 1. Locate the clasp

Turn your watch over and look for the adjustable clasp on the Milanese mesh bracelet.

It has a small hinged latch on its underside, and that is what you lift to reposition the clasp.

## 2. Lift the clasp

Using your tool (or thumbnail):

1. Slide the tool under the small tab on the clasp.

2. Gently lift upward until the clasp pops open.

  - It should open with light pressure.

  - Avoid forcing it. Milanese clasps are designed to open smoothly.

When open, you'll see a track beneath the clasp where the mesh can slide to adjust length.

## 3. Slide the clasp to your desired position

With the clasp lifted:

- Slide it up or down the mesh to tighten or loosen the fit.

- Align the clasp with one of the small notches or grooves under the mesh, which helps keep it secure once locked.

Tip: position the clasp so the watch sits comfortably on your wrist, snug but not tight.

## 4. Press the clasp closed

Once your clasp is in the desired position:

1. Press down firmly on the clasp's hinged tab.

2. You should feel it click securely back into place.

Your bracelet is now adjusted and ready to wear.

## 5. Fine-tuning the fit

If the fit still feels off:

- Repeat the process and slide the clasp a few millimeters at a time until it's right.

- The mesh is designed to withstand repeated adjustments.

## Common questions

### Will adjusting the clasp damage the mesh?

No. Milanese mesh is flexible and built to be adjusted. Just avoid using excessive force.

### Do I need to cut the mesh?

Never. Milanese bracelets are adjustable without cutting or resizing.

### Is this the same for all Hampden mesh bracelets?

Yes. All our Milanese-style bracelets adjust the same way.
