Steel and gold bracelets, 1934 to 2026
Omega Bracelets
Omega's bracelets by family and in production order: the stretch flat-links, beads of rice, the 1171 and its relatives, the solid-link bracelets of the 1980s and after, and current production.
Origins
For most of its history Omega sold watches on leather and left the bracelet to the retailer. The earliest Omega-signed bracelet on record is a bamboo-style Staybrite steel bracelet made by Gay Frères of Geneva for the CK 936 of about 1934, a French-market watch. Collectors cite it as possibly the first bracelet to carry a watch company's logo.
Beads-of-rice bracelets arrive in the early 1950s. The earliest one verified as original to an Omega sits on a watch of 1952. The Seamaster 2576 and 2577 were always delivered on leather, so a bracelet on one of those is a later addition.
The numbered sports bracelet starts in 1957. The 7077 was launched with the Seamaster 300, Railmaster and Speedmaster: three rows of flat links with spring-loaded stretch links next to the clasp. Its descendants, the 7912, 1035, 1506 and 1039, kept that construction until the early 1970s. From the fourth quarter of 1958 the clasps carry a quarter and year stamp, which is the main dating tool for a vintage Omega bracelet.
In the United States and Mexico the story is different. US-market watches mostly arrived as heads and received bracelets made by Jacoby-Bender (JB Champion), signed Omega but with no Omega bracelet number. Mexican import rules required a locally made component, so watches sold there wear bracelets by Holzer y Cia.
From 1967 the stretch links give way to rigid five-link bracelets: the 1116, then the 1171 and 1175 of about 1970. The 1171 became the standard Speedmaster bracelet and the default service replacement for almost any 20 mm vintage Omega. Solid links and solid end links arrive in the mid 1980s with the 1447 and 1450, push-button clasps in 1999 with the 1998, and screwed links after that.
The Seamaster took its own path. The Ploprof of 1970 came on rubber, with a shark mesh or a 24 mm link bracelet as options, and the 1970s chronographs and divers used the 22 mm 1117, 1170 and 1162. The Bond bracelet arrived with the Seamaster Professional 300M in 1993 and kept its pin-and-tube links until the ceramic-bezel model of 2011 switched to screws. A clasp with fine adjustment came only in 2014, on the Seamaster 300.
Since 2017 Omega has gone back to its own past. The 1957 Trilogy, the Apollo 11 anniversary Speedmaster of 2019, the calibre 321 of 2020 and the First Omega in Space of 2024 all wear solid-link versions of the flat-link bracelet, and the 2021 Moonwatch bracelet tapers from 20 to 15 mm like a vintage one.

Flat-link stretch bracelets, 1957 – 1974
Three rows of flat links, satin centre and polished sides, with eight fixed links each side. Spring-loaded stretch links sit between the fixed links and the clasp. On the 7077 until late 1960 they are double links, two in front of the clasp and three behind. From 1961 they are single links, four and six, and from the second quarter of 1961 they come out without tools. A full bracelet has 24 to 26 links and measures 15 to 16.5 cm unstretched without end links.
Clasp. Short cover of about 21 by 16 mm with the Ω in relief on the 7077, long cover of about 29 by 16 mm from 1961. Inside: STEELINOX, Ω OMEGA, SWISS MADE, a circled clasp number and, from late 1958, the quarter and year. STEELINOX and SWISS MADE swap places between the end of 1958 and early 1959. One table also lists ACIER INOXYDABLE.

Beads of rice, 1952 – 1975
Rows of small rounded beads between two solid outer rows, on curved end links. Five rows on the earlier bracelets, seven or nine on those of the 1960s. Sources count the rows differently, some including the outer rows, so the same bracelet is called seven-row and nine-row. Sized by prying open the connector links.
Clasp. Fold-over clasp, usually stamped STAINLESS STEEL, No. 12 and Ω OMEGA, with the bracelet number beside it. The end-link number tells you more than the clasp does.

Dress bracelets: brick, flat link and integrated, 1960 – 1980
Rigid bracelets for the Constellation, Seamaster, De Ville and Genève: brickwork links on the 1040, plain flat links with polished outer rows on the 1067 and 1069. None has stretch links. Most are 18 or 19 mm at the lugs, and one bracelet number takes many different end links to fit different cases.
Clasp. Fold-over clasp stamped STAINLESS STEEL, No. 12, the bracelet number and Ω OMEGA with the logo in relief. Quarter and year stamps continue into the early 1970s: a 1069 is recorded with 4-70 and a 1067 with 1/72.

Five-link and sports bracelets, 1967 – 1985
Rigid bracelets that end the stretch links. The 1116 has five domed oval links, three wide satin ones and two narrow polished ones, and comes in a family of widths: 1118 for 18 mm, 1098 for 19 mm, 1116 for 20 mm and 1117 for 22 mm. The 1171 has solid outer links and folded centre links on hollow end pieces and tapers from 20 to 16 mm; the 1170 is the same bracelet for 22 mm cases. The 1175 and 1162 use square, flat-sided links. Links are held by screws on the earliest 1171s and on the 1170, later by push pins, and by small spring bars on US-made bracelets.
Clasp. Grooved cover of 30 by 16.5 mm on the 1116 family. On the 1171 and 1162 the cover grows from about 29 by 15 mm, with (11) inside and the Ω in a trapeze, to 34 by 17 mm with (32) and the Ω in a square from about 1981. Service clasps are laser-engraved where originals are stamped.

Integrated bracelets, 1973 – 2003
Bracelets built into the case design, with no separate end links, so each fits only the watch it was made for. Spare links are the problem with all of them: for the Speedmaster 125 they are called nearly impossible to find, and Omega's replacements for the Megaquartz and the Teutonic do not match the originals.
Clasp. Each has its own clasp. The Speedsonic clasp follows the lobster shape of the links, with a box around the logo and the number. The Jacques Mayol clasp has a dive extension in 5 mm steps up to 25 mm. The Manhattan has a concealed deployant with a pusher, signed Mod. Déposé.

Solid links: Speedmaster, 1985 – 2021
Solid links throughout from the 1447 and 1450 of the mid 1980s, with solid end links for the first time. The Moonwatch bracelets taper from 20 to 16 mm until the 1998, which is 18 mm at the clasp. Links are held by a pin inside a tube up to the 1998, and by a pin with a screw at each outer end on the 1958 that follows it.
Clasp. The 1450 is the first with Speedmaster engraved on the cover. The 1479 has a shorter cover of 30 by 17 mm with no lip. The 1499 and 1498 have a 34 by 18 mm cover engraved Speedmaster Professional. The 1998 brings the 34 by 20 mm safety clasp with two push buttons. None of them has a fine adjustment beyond a half link.

Seamaster since 1988, 1988 – 2016
The Bond bracelet of 1993 has nine pieces across, no taper and links held by a pin inside a tube. The 1610 of about 2000 is the plainer Speedmaster-style alternative, tapering from 20 to 18 mm. With the ceramic-bezel Diver 300M and the cal. 8500 Planet Ocean of 2011 the tubes give way to a pin held by screws. Aqua Terra bracelets taper from 20 to about 18 mm and never had a fine adjustment.
Clasp. Bond and Planet Ocean: fold-over clasp with a hidden wetsuit extension and no fine adjustment until 2017, when Omega began selling adjustable clasps that retrofit with adapter links. Seamaster 300 of 2014: rack-and-pusher clasp that extends in six steps. Aqua Terra and Railmaster: butterfly clasp.

Current and recent production, 2007 – today
Solid links held by a pin and screws. Omega's new flat-links copy the look of the 7912 and 1039, with brushed centres and polished outer rows, but have no stretch links. Part numbers are now plain serial numbers beginning 020STZ or 020Z, and Omega no longer stamps a bracelet number in the clasp.
Clasp. Clasps carry the vintage Ω in relief on the heritage Speedmasters. Adjustment grows step by step: one tool-adjusted position on the 2019 flat-link, two on the 2021 Moonwatch, a tool-free push-button step from late 2022. Seamaster divers use clasp 117STZ001159, with six positions over 10 mm plus a diver extension. Aqua Terra, Railmaster, Globemaster and Constellation keep butterfly clasps.

Regional makers and the first signed bracelet, 1934 – 1985
Bracelets signed Omega but made by other firms, outside the numbering system. They have no Omega bracelet number and usually no end-link number, so they are identified by the clasp stamps. Collectors say Omega had bracelets made locally in several countries.
Clasp. JB Champion: JB in a triangle, USA or Made in USA, often with No. 12 and STAINLESS STEEL. Holzer: Holzer y Cia, Hecho en Mexico, Acero Inoxidable and the Omega logo. Some Mexican clasps read J/M.

Speedmaster entries follow collector tables; the others come from a transcription of Omega's own case, bracelet and end-piece list.
Type a case reference to see its bracelets.
The list gives what Omega catalogued, which for some references is a later replacement and not what the watch left the factory on.

Omega's list writes references in the later form: 166.0020 is the watch collectors call 166.020. The scan was read by OCR, and forum members have found errors in it, so treat a single row as a lead and confirm it against a second source.
End links
The end link decides whether a bracelet fits a case, and on the early sports bracelets it is worth more than the bracelet. The number is stamped on the end link itself. Later numbers add 500 to the earlier ones: 11 became 511, 12 became 512, 70 became 570, 6 became 506 and 16 became 516.
119 end links. A blank width means no source gives one.

Three end links worth knowing
- No. 6. 19 mm, for the CK2915, CK2998, CK2913 and CK2914. Early ones have a single notch on the back and later ones two. Genuine ones usually have two ridges underneath, and the stamped 6 has a fat back with a loop whose end points left. Reproductions are smooth on the back and feel sharp at the edges.
- 516. 20 mm, for the 1039. Genuine examples vary in font and in the distance between number and border across 1967 to 1972, so a different-looking pair is not automatically wrong. Cheap reproductions lack the stamped lines on the front. Filing 516s down to fit 19 mm straight-lug cases was common, so measure them: an untouched one is about 19.8 mm.
- 633. 20 mm, for the 1171. Vintage ones are stamped with the number facing the bracelet. Later service ones are etched, face the watch, have notches at each side and measure slightly over 20 mm, so they can need fitting.
Date a bracelet
From the fourth quarter of 1958 to the early 1970s the Swiss-made bracelets carry a date stamp: a quarter and a two-digit year, written 4-58, 3/60, 1.65 or 2 70. On flat-links it sits inside the clasp next to the bracelet number. On the 1175 it is on the hinge, and there the first number runs past 4, so it reads as a month.
Type a clasp stamp to read it.
The stamp dates the bracelet, not the watch. Bracelets were added just before shipment or by the retailer, so a stamp a few months later than the watch is normal and the same year counts as age-correct.

When there is no stamp
- 7077 clasps of 1957 and most of 1958 are undated. Gold versions are dated from late 1957.
- The first 1035s of late 1966 are believed to be undated.
- The last dated 1039s read 4/71 or 1/72. Undated ones were made after that, and one sits on a Speedmaster delivered in June 1974 according to its archive extract. Some collectors still read an undated 1039 as a service part.
- Most dated 1175s fall between early 1970 and early 1971. After that come unmarked 1175s and No. 12 clasps, some with month stamps as late as 5-83.
- US-made JB Champion bracelets do not reliably carry dates. Holzer bracelets from Mexico show no date in any source I found.
- I found no date codes on the clasps of the 1479, 1498, 1998 or the Seamaster bracelets of the 1990s and 2000s.

Other markings
| Marking | Where | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Four-digit bracelet number | Inside the clasp | The bracelet body. A 7077 has none, nor do the first 7912s. |
| End-link number | On each end link | Which case the bracelet was meant for. Later numbers add 500. |
| Quarter and year, such as 4 71 | Inside the clasp; on the hinge of a 1175 | When the bracelet was made. On the 1116 and 1175 the first number is a month. |
| STEELINOX and SWISS MADE | Inside flat-link clasps, either side of Ω OMEGA | Swiss production. The two swap places between the end of 1958 and early 1959. |
| STAINLESS STEEL | Inside clasps from the late 1960s, and on dress bracelets | Replaces STEELINOX on the 1116, 1159, 1171 and their relatives. |
| A circled number such as (11), (12), (30), (32) | Inside the clasp | The clasp model, according to collectors, and not a bracelet reference. The flat-link clasps photographed above carry a circled No. 15, which no source explains. |
| No. 12 alone, with no four-digit number | Inside the clasp | Common and genuine, on dress bracelets and US-market ones. A 1069 reads No. 12, STAINLESS STEEL, 1069, Ω OMEGA; many have no 1069 at all. |
| Circled 37 or 59, with SP, IAI or JJF | Inside a mesh clasp | 37 and SP on original mesh, 59 on service mesh. The letters are maker marks. |
| Ω in a trapeze or in a square | On the clasp cover | Trapeze on the 1171 and 1162 of the 1970s, square from about 1981. |
| JB in a triangle, USA | Inside the clasp | Made by JB Champion in the United States. |
| Holzer, Hecho en Mexico, J/M | Inside the clasp | Made in Mexico. |
| Three letters such as JAJ | On the link next to the clasp of a 1171/1 | Unresolved. One suggestion is a maker's code. |
| A watch reference such as 198.0031 | On the bracelet | Omega sometimes stamped the watch reference, more often on ladies' models. |
| Etched, not stamped, logo or number | Clasp and end links | A later service part. |
Reading the numbers
A vintage Omega bracelet has two numbers. The four-digit bracelet number is stamped inside the clasp and names the body. The end-piece number, one to three digits, is stamped on each end link. Together they are written 1171/633. The bracelet number does not tell you the metal or the width at the lugs.
From the 1980s Omega's parts system wraps both numbers in a longer code. Type one to decode it.
Type a part number to decode it.
Numbers in the newer form, such as 020STZ013434, are plain serial part numbers and no longer contain the bracelet and end-link numbers.

Makers
No source names the Swiss factory that made the numbered steel bracelets from the 7077 on. One 2026 article says some 1960s Speedmasters wore expansion bracelets by Gay Frères and Jacoby-Bender, without naming a reference.
| Maker | Period | How it signed | What it made |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gay Frères, Geneva | c. 1934 to the 1960s | GF stamp, sometimes with the watch brand's logo | The bamboo bracelet of the CK 936. Constellation bracelets of the 1950s and 1960s are often attributed to it. Which numbered Omega bracelets it made is not documented. Founded in 1835, bought by Rolex in 1998. |
| Reinhor | 1950s to 1960s | Often unsigned | The brick-link bracelet of the Constellation Grand Luxe, in gold and platinum. |
| JB Champion (Jacoby-Bender), USA | Late 1950s to 1981 | JB in a triangle, USA, OMEGA MADE IN U.S.A., Stainless Steel Hinge | Sliding-clasp and gold-filled beads of rice, flat-link, slat, brick and Oyster styles for US-market Omegas, and the unsigned mesh worn by astronauts. Bought Forstner in 1963. |
| Holzer y Cia and J/M, Mexico | 1960s to 1980s | Holzer, Hecho en Mexico, J/M, Omega logo | Jubilee and flat-link styles, made locally because import rules required a Mexican component. |
| Local production, several countries | 1960s to 1980s | Local-language stamps; J/B, J/M | Collectors say Omega had bracelets made locally around the world. A parts house says the current service 1171/633 is made in Hong Kong. |
| Japan-market maker | Not found | Not found | The 2036/056 for the C-shape Constellation is called a Japan-market variant. No source names the maker. |
| Omega's Swiss supplier | 1957 on | STEELINOX, SWISS MADE, Ω OMEGA, bracelet number, date | Every numbered bracelet from the 7077 on. No source names the factory. |
Buying and selling checks
A vintage Omega bracelet is priced on four things: whether the right end links are with it, how much stretch it has, whether it is full length, and whether the clasp is original. Speedmaster price guides quote the watch head alone, and forum members say a seller does not recoup the cost of a flat-link bracelet when selling the watch with it.
End links firstCheck the number, that it is stamped and not etched, and the ridges or notches on the back of a No. 6 or No. 16. Measure the width with calipers: a No. 6 or 506 should be about 19 mm and a 516 about 19.8 mm. Narrower means it was filed.
Spring linksA full flat-link has eight fixed links each side plus four and six spring links. Every spring link should close on its own. One with dead springs still sells, at a discount.
LengthAsk for the closed length in centimetres. Recorded full lengths: a 1039 about 16.5 cm without end links, a 7912 about 17.5 cm closed, a 1479 or 1498 about 17 cm, a 1171/1 about 15.5 cm.
StretchAsk for a photo of the bracelet held out sideways so the sag shows. I found no agreed way to put a number on stretch.
Clasp stamp against the watchThe date should fall in the same year as the watch or a few months after it. A 1967 Speedmaster wants a bracelet stamped 1967 or 1968.
Clasp originalityThe clasp should be signed and stamped. An unsigned or undated clasp, a No. 29, or an etched logo points to a service replacement.
FinishCentre links of a 1039 are matte and the sides polished. On a 1469 the outer links are brushed and the inner ones polished. A bracelet polished all over has been refinished.
WidthThe 1035 exists in an 18.8 mm and a 17.8 mm version, and the 1069 is sold as both 18 and 19 mm. Confirm the width of the last link before buying for a 19 mm case.
The 1450Check for the quick-release pin, and remember that its links come in two mirror-image types that do not mix.
New end links on old casesNew-production 633 end links measured 20.18 to 20.20 mm against lugs of 19.96 to 19.98 mm and can need fitting. The 812 needs its side flaps filed for later cases.
US and Mexican braceletsNo bracelet number and no end-link number is normal on JB Champion and Holzer bracelets. On a JB mesh, inspect the end-piece rivets.
eBayAvoid Omega beads of rice at $60 to 80 and cheap Omega mesh. A clasp marked 1502 that is polished only on the outside, with unnumbered end links, is the usual fake.
What moves the price
| Factor | What the sales show |
|---|---|
| Correct end links present | A 7912 sold at $1,300 bare in 2022 and $3,500 with No. 6 ends in 2024. A pair of No. 6 was offered at €1,200 in 2026 and a single one at $700. A pair of 516 sold at $400 and at €360 |
| No. 6 without ridges underneath | Worth much less than a ridged pair; hard to tell from a reproduction |
| Filed end links | A No. 6 pair filed to fit 18 mm lugs was judged worthless and not restorable |
| Polished centre links on a 1039 | One estimate dropped from $2,500–3,000 to $2,000–2,500 (2020) |
| Replaced, unsigned clasp | A 1039/516 with one was offered at CHF 1,000 (2024) |
| Dead spring link | A 1039/516 with one springless link sold at $1,200 (2023). Single spring links were $100 to 150 each on eBay in 2017 |
| Missing fixed links | A 7077 short of two links sold at $850; a complete one was offered at $1,250 |
| Half a bracelet | Clasp, spring links and six fixed links of a 1039: $300 (2024) |
| Missing quick-release pin on a 1450 | The asking price fell from CHF 1,390 to CHF 790 |
| New old stock | A 1503/825 unworn sold at $599 against $395 for a worn one |
| On the watch | Speedmaster101 prices the head alone and says a bracelet adds value, without a figure. Forum members say you do not get the cost of a flat-link back, and that a 1039 in place of the correct 1506 on a 1964 Speedmaster makes little difference |
| New old stock | A 1067/532 unworn made €1,250 against $575 for a used one without end links; a 1162/173 unworn $759 against $250 to 300 used |
| Removed links | Keep them. They add value when the watch is sold. Spare 1035 and 1039 stretch links sold at €78 in 2026 |
Fakes and refinished bracelets
- No. 6 and No. 16 end links. Reproductions exist. A suspect No. 16 pair had the number stamped at an angle, no ridge underneath and a different hole.
- 516 end links. Cheap reproductions lack the stamped lines on the front that originals have.
- Beads of rice. Omega-signed ones at $60 to 80 on eBay are very likely fake. Not every unnumbered end link is fake, though: some genuine 1970s bracelets have unstamped ends.
- 1181/215. A beads of rice with this stamp was judged fake: wrong clasp number, rough markings, no stretch, polished all over.
- Mark IV and Flightmaster style. A fake from a seller known for counterfeit buckles had no numbers on the end links, was lighter, had about eight removable links and cost more than a genuine one.
- Mesh. Many fake Omega mesh bracelets are on eBay.
- Weight is not a test. An 1125/560 suspected for being light and tinny turned out to be genuine.
- Refinished, not fake. A 1469/811 with polished outer links, and later 1162/173s with no screwed links, were both judged genuine.
- How fake beads of rice differ. No No. 12 stamp and a shallow logo on the clasp, unnumbered end links, solid links with screws or drilled holes where genuine ones have folded links and push pins, no bevel on the underside edge, and too much weight.
- 1502/825. A Seamaster bracelet stamped this way is fake: the genuine pairs are 1502/824 and 1503/825.
- Fake mesh. The end sections look cut off, the links are thin and both sides look the same. Genuine mesh has nine links across, one flatter side and finished edges.
- Hybrids. Uncle Seiko and Forstner bracelets fitted with genuine Omega clasps are traded openly. The clasp alone proves nothing.
- Packaging. A supposedly new bracelet in plain plastic with a round sticker is a warning sign.
- I found no documented counterfeits of the 7912, 1039, 1171, 1450, 1479, 1498 or 1998.
Modern Seamaster bracelets: known problems
- Pin and tube. On the 1503, 1610 and 1580 the pins and tubes wear. One 1503 owner reports a pin failure every five years. Worn pins bind and can be close to impossible to drive out. Replace pin and tube together.
- Ultrasonic cleaning. A clasp pin on a 1580/952 fell out afterwards.
- GMT sliding clasp. The small hidden clasp of the 1513/825 distorts; two with significant damage are reported.
- 2018 push-button clasp. Buttons jam. A bad batch is reported for 2021 to 2022, replaced under the five-year warranty, with clasps on back order for ten months or more.
- Retrofitting an adjustable clasp to a 1503. It works with adapter links, but the pin-and-tube links sit loose on the screw-type adapters.
- Polished centre links. On the Aqua Terra and 1610 they scratch quickly, and no Aqua Terra bracelet has a fine adjustment.
- Pre-Bond. Missing tubes, bent pins, and tapered end links that are very hard to find.
- Parts. Omega restricted parts supply and dealers raised prices. Omega sells pins and tubes at about $2 each; a dealer set costs £15.
What Omega still supplies
- 1171/1 with 633 ends (020ST1171633). In February 2026 a senior forum member wrote that it is the only vintage bracelet still available as a service item and that the rest are discontinued. About $450 plus tax in the US in 2021; Omega's current price in Germany was not found. A UK parts dealer lists it at £650 to 700.
- For a 1039 Omega supplies nothing equivalent. It recommends the 1171/633 or the 1998/849.
- End links. The 516 was no longer available by 2018. The 633 is, etched and slightly larger than the old stamped ones. Service 575 end links cost €47 each at an Omega store in July 2025 and differ slightly from the vintage ones.
- 1998/849. Disputed: one poster says it is the only Speedmaster bracelet still visible in Omega's system, the statement above implies it is discontinued. Parts dealers still list it new at about £800.
- Dress bracelets. The 3010 beads of rice with 511 or 512 ends, the 3011/518 for the C-shape Constellation, and the 1125 with 560 or 617 ends for 19 mm cases.
- 1162/173 with screwed links: $450 in 2019.
- Current bracelets are spare parts, ordered through a boutique. The online shop lists only the steel mesh.
- Parts trade. Since about 2016 Omega no longer sells parts to independent distributors.
- Extract of the Archives. Suspended since May 2023 and still not back in July 2026. It cost CHF 120. On most Speedmasters its bracelet field was blank, which collectors read as dealer-fitted, though some extracts do name the bracelet. The Certificate of Authenticity, CHF 800 at its launch in 2020, is still offered for watches over 30 years old.

Repair
Stretch in a flat-link comes from tired or broken leaf springs in the spring links and from worn link holes, not from the links themselves. Springs can be replaced. Worn holes need laser welding.
| Service | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Michael Young, Classic Watch Repair, Hong Kong | Stretch restoration with new springs, on the 1039 and others | $200 to 265 plus shipping in 2017 to 2020, about six weeks. Reports run from great to horrendous |
| Rolliworks, USA | Stretch, damaged links, laser welding | From $350, about two weeks. Its site lists Rolex only; forum members say it takes Omega |
| STS, UK | Re-pinning a 1039 | A quote of about £70 in 2017. Re-pinning helps but does not cure badly worn links |

Not repairable, or not worth it: end links that have been filed narrower, sideways wear in the links, and spring links with damaged end pieces.

Where the sources disagree
The catalog uses the version most sources give. To date an individual bracelet, rely on its clasp stamp and construction, not on the number alone.
| Question | Version A | Version B |
|---|---|---|
| When does a 7077 become a 7912 | Only when 7912 is stamped on the clasp; no number means 7077 (forum member ndgal) | Any long clasp with single stretch links is an early 7912 (forum member cristos71) |
| Years of the 7912 | 1961 to 1966 (db1983, dated examples) | First listed for the 105.002 in 1962 (chronomaddox table); discontinued 1961 (Millenary) |

| The 1175 on a pre-Moon 145.022-69 | Never (Watchfid) | Forum members report an original example |
| No. 47 end links | US market | Also on first-owner European watches |

| Rarity of the 1447 | Rarer than the 1450 | More common and much cheaper |
| Years of the 1450 | 1986 to 1990 (tables) | 1985 to about 1990 (dealer); 1980 to 1991 (Calibre 1831 blog) |

| 1499 and 1498 | 1996 to 1998 and 1998 to 1999 (tables) | 1995 to 1997 and 1997 to 2000 (Calibre 1831 blog) |
| Clasp of the 1498 | Double push-button (Experts Watches) | No push buttons; those came with the 1998 |

| Is the 1998/849 still supplied | Yes, it can be ordered (forum, about 2025) | No, only the 1171/633 is left (forum, February 2026) |
| When the Ploprof got its mesh | From 1975 (Ploprof collector site) | Sellers offer 1971 watches on original 1266/237 mesh |
| Steel bracelet of the Ploprof | 1162/162, 24 mm | Some left Omega on a 1162/172 or on mesh, depending on stock |

Prices and sources
About the prices
Used figures are asking prices from Omega Forums private sales threads between 2021 and 2026, with the date and whether the thread was marked sold. New figures are list prices at parts dealers, mostly Swiss Watch Spares in the UK, read in October 2026; Omega does not publish bracelet prices. Sold means the thread was closed as sold, not that the price was confirmed. Chrono24 figures are dealer asking prices read from listing titles. eBay sold listings could not be read. Rows with no sourced figure are bracelets for which I found no recent sale.
How far to trust the facts
The facts were collected from the pages below on 4 October 2026 through an automated page reader, so a number can be misread. Several sources could not be opened: Fratello, Hodinkee, WatchUSeek, Chrono24 and the Moonwatch Only book. Part numbers for modern bracelets come mostly from parts dealers' listings, not from Omega. Two bracelet tables that circulate widely (Experts Watches and Millenary Watches) are near copies of each other and count as one weak source.
