ABSTRACT:
A wrist-carried instrument has a case with a "6 o'clock" end and a "12 o'clock" end, a band with a first attachment end and a second attachment end, and a first pivoting lug member and a second pivoting lug member. The first and the second pivoting lug members encircle a predetermined portion of the case at the "6 o'clock" end and the "12 o'clock" end, respectively. The first pivoting lug member includes a first pair of arms for pivotably attaching the first pivoting lug member to the case and a second pair of arms for connecting the first attachment end of the band therebetween. The second pivoting lug member includes a first pair of arms for pivotably attaching the second pivoting lug member to the case and a second pair of arms for connecting the second attachment end of the band therebetween. In this manner, the first and the second pivoting lug members are free to pivot about the case to permit the wrist-carried instrument to conform to the contours of a wrist about which it is worn.
