The Forstner Gold Komfit bracelet revives one of the most iconic watch bracelets ever produced. Worn by astronauts during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, the original Komfit became known for its lightweight construction, exceptional adjustability, and all-day comfort. This modern gold-plated reissue preserves those qualities while bringing a warm vintage look to both classic and contemporary watches.

Material & feel

The Gold Komfit's woven stainless steel mesh is remarkably light, breathable, and flexible, conforming comfortably to the wrist without feeling bulky. Its yellow gold-plated finish gives the bracelet a distinctive vintage character while preserving the elegant square-pattern mesh that made the original a favorite among astronauts and collectors alike.

The straight-end version features universal spring-loaded end pieces that fit a range of lug widths, along with the signature forward-facing clasp and continuously adjustable design that allow for an exceptionally precise fit.

Forstner Thin As A Dime

After purchasing a Buzz Rickson A-11, I was hoping to find a quality vintage styled bracelet to pair with the watch. The Forstner Thin as a Dime military bracelet works perfectly with the A-11's case and is a little more robust than other A-11 bracelet options, like the Bonklip.

This is one of the most disappointing things I have purchased

Definitely not worth $132 or whatever it is. Pretty poor quality for the price. Hard as all get out to get on the wrist. I thought I would be all cool like the astronauts, what a waste. Can’t return after installing either. If you want to struggle every time you put the watch on have at it.

Thanks for the feedback. The Komfit has a different fastening system than standard bracelets, which can take a bit of getting used to and may feel stiff or awkward at first. Once adjusted, it’s designed to allow fine sizing and a secure fit, but the initial setup can be less intuitive if you’re used to traditional clasps. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
