Spanish term or phrase: cierre desplegable
this is a presentation about watch straps and the example is "Correa de piel con cierre desplegable". It compares with " cierre estándar" as in "Correa de piel con cierre estándar".
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks!

Wow! Thanks, Lydia - I would never have come up with that translation. In fact, when I saw your suggestion, I didn't think it could possibly be right. But, on doing some research, I see that the watch industry does indeed use the term. Many thanks to you, and all the others who helped.

deployment buckle


Explanation:
according to the Longines site

The stainless steel case of every model in The Longines Master Collection features a transparent case back through which its scintillating movement can be observed and comes with a stainless steel bracelet or a genuine leather strap, optionally equipped with a deployment buckle for total comfort on the wrist.

http://www.swisstime.ch/PressKits/PressKits.asp?LANGUAGE=E&P...

Cada modelo de The Longines Master Collection consta de una caja de acero inoxidable dotada de un fondo transparente que permite observar la marcha centelleante de su movimiento, así como de una pulsera de acero inoxidable o de una correa de cuero legítimo. Para aumentar el bienestar al llevarlo, todas las correas de cuero pueden estar provistas de un cierre desplegable.
