Abstract
The band consists of a plurality of links (20), (22) formed by bringing together four turns (12a), (12b), (12c) and (12d) constrained together by means of pins or equivalent elements inserted in the substantially cylindrical seat which said turns create by partial reciprocal penetration. At least one of said turns and preferably the fourth turn of each link is provided on one side with internal threading into which screws the end (18') of the screw (18) constituting the means of connection between two links (20), (22) and is arranged between the side blocks (30). An alternative form of execution provides that to the branches (42) and/or (44) of the band (40) are connected one or more segments (52) made of metal fabric similarly to the band itself. Said connection is provided by pins inserted in the tubes (54) formed by tube sections (54'), (54"), (54"').
