Forstner Contemporary Flat Link Stainless Steel Watch Bracelet for Omega Speedmaster
- Price
- $185
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.

FAQ

A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.
