Neither have I. Reinforces why I love these straps so much

Any idea how it happened? Very rarely hear of something that causes a spring bar failure.
Also something fun to think about are the watches with fixed bars like the Pelagos FXD or love what SEL Instruments bracelet is over engineered to do.

Honestly no idea. I noticed it was hangin’ 🤙 loose 🤙 right before I went through the scanner. Probably got yanked off somehow when I was tearing off my parka. Was running quite late for the flight lol
Nato strap?
Visual Storyteller
It's a one-piece strap that slides underneath the case so that the skin never touches metal. It means the strap will stay on the wrist even if a spring bar pops out as evidenced by OPs story.
