Abstract
A watchband for a watch case that has straight upper and lower edges, each edge having a channel, and a cylindrical boss protruding from a back surface of the watch case. The watchband includes a mounting structure including a base having an aperture therein, and first and second bars connected to the base. A bracelet extends in an elongation direction between a first end connected to the mounting structure and a free end spaced from the mounting structure. When the watch case is assembled to the watchband, the first bar is positioned in one of the channels, the second bar is positioned in another one of the channels, and the cylindrical boss is positioned in the aperture. Optionally, the bracelet may include a hinge to facilitate application of the watchband to a user's wrist.

A watchband for a watch case, the watch case having straight upper and lower edges, each of the edges having a channel, and a cylindrical boss protruding from a back surface of the watch case, the watchband comprising:
- a mounting structure including a base having a front surface, a rear surface, an aperture extending from the front surface to the rear surface, and first and second bars connected to the base at positions spaced from the front surface;
- and
- a bracelet extending in an elongation direction between a first end connected to the mounting structure and a free end, the free end being spaced from the mounting structure,
- wherein the first bar is oriented parallel to the second bar in a direction orthogonal to the elongation direction of the bracelet.
