Frequently asked questions
on The Twelve
Can I remove the bracelet links myself?

Does the integrated bracelet feature quick-release?
Yes, both The Twelve’s bracelet and rubber strap have the quick-release system.
Can The Twelve be engraved?
Yes, you can add this at checkout. The engraving will be on the outer part of the case back – to the side of the serial number.
What type of clasp/buckle is featured on the rubber strap?
The rubber strap features a standard buckle and tang.
