Abstract: A resilient watch band which includes identical latching mechanisms at both ends that can be attached to a watch body without removing the pins attached thereto. Each latching mechanism includes a clasp element which has a U-shaped head portion that extends beyond the end of the watch band, the clasp element being slidable along a longitudinal groove in the end of the watch band to allow the head portion to extend to a variable distance away from the end of the watch band; two cooperable release buttons which are connected by a spring and function to allow the clasp element to be either fixed or moved along the longitudinal groove; and a cover element which covers a major portion of the other elements and which includes an extension flange that can cooperate with the head portion of the clasp element to lock a pin member therewithin when the head portion is fixed at its closest distance from the end of the watch band.
