Size:

The flat link bracelet is one of the most recognizable Omega bands of all time, having been provided with the Speedmaster and Seamaster when they were first released. After a long period during which the style was discontinued, Forstner faithfully recreated a vintage-inspired version of the bracelet, which quickly became one of its most popular products.

By popular request, Forstner now offers a contemporary version of the flat link,  retaining the proportions and style of the original while making the bracelet more substantial overall.  With this version, Forstner introduces its first milled clasp with pushbutton mechanism while maintaining the look of the original clasp. The links are also thicker and longer -- approximately 3mm thick and 6.5mm long, vs. 2.5mm and 5mm on the original version.

The Contemporary Flat Link is an out-of-the-box stunner, with the look and feel of a modern bracelet that could be supplied with the current Speedmaster and Seamaster lines. 

Material:

  • Solid 316L stainless steel, including solid steel curved end pieces.
  • Milled pushbutton clasp with finishing that matches the bracelet.

FAQ

Q: Do you sell watch bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.

Q: Can you suggest a strap that looks amazing with my watch?
A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.

Q: I have an Apple watch. Will any of your straps work for me?
A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.

Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.

Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.

Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.

Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes! Visit our Shipping & Returns page for more information.

Q: May I return my purchase?
A: Holben's Fine Watch Bands accepts returns of unworn, undamaged merchandise for refund or exchange within thirty days of purchase. Learn more on our Shipping & Returns page.

Need help with sizing?

Fantastic bracelet

Own the hesalite 3861 so a fully brushed bracelet on top. The watch's case got polished lugs, it's like there's something missing. Polished/brushed links on this bracelet are wonderful, a perfect match with the case. Also really comfortable and seems like great quality. Really easy to find the perfect fit thanks to micro adjustments on the buckle.
If you want to have a shiny Moonwatch, go for it !
It's a new watch !
