Perhaps it's a matter of translation.
The word deployant doesn't exist in English and the proper spelling of the word in its native French would be déployante. It seems the closest word in English would be deployment. Of course this may not really be the reason but it's the best I can come up with!
Never ending question....Deployant or Deployment ?!
read an article few years ago & i thought the problem is solved.... but now i see it again... thoughts fellow purists ?! Best, mahesh., ...
many use it by 'mistake'
was surprised that 'apple' - known for 'deep thinking' about products termed it incorrectly...
Apple didn't write that

Although it could have been second party advertising (dealer, not brand itself). I cannot remember which brand.
Thank you for telling us how to properly spell it!
Deployant and Deployment are both wrong!

What's the Big deal...
While I appreciate Clymer's intention of educating aspiring watch collectors about the proper dos and don'ts, I'm so accustomed to hearing deployant/deployment that it doesn't phase me at all.
the difference is...
a buyer calling it incorrectly vs a brand naming it incorrectly 🤐
Deployant, but....
