2913 bracelet options.

I’m looking for bracelet + end link options for my Omega 2913-3 Seamaster, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.




1/ I believe the correct bracelet for the Omega 2913 is the flat-link Omega 7077 with #6 end links.


These are beautiful but hard to find - and expensive if I just want a wearable setup rather than a collector piece.





2/ I really like the look of the flat-link bracelets


But I’d rather not regularly wear a 7077 and risk damaging something that collectible.





3/ I’ve heard other bracelets, like the beads of rice style, can work well and still look period-correct. But I’m not sure:





  • Which reference numbers for the bracelets
  • Which end link numbers fit the 2913 case







4/ Ideally, I’m looking for something wearable that looks right - even if not 100% correct - while preserving the originality and avoiding wear/damage to a vintage 7077.





If you’ve tried alternate bracelets or have suggestions, I’d love to hear your setup!





5/ Bonus points if you have pics, reference numbers, or tips on where to source them





Thanks in advance!

I waited for quite a while to get the images loaded, until I realise there isn't any image...

Good luck with the search.

Is the handset correct? I don't recall a lollipop second hand on a -3. Could it be a different reference?

Would an aftermarket flatlink be an option for you?

You could go for a 1035 flat link bracelet with repro 6 endlinks, both together should be available for 600-700 USD

I do believe they are. However, they have been relumed from what I can tell. From what I know the 2913-3 could have several different hand set with this being one. Other known 2913-3 examples have this handset as well.

It would be a possibility! Unsure of which one and what end links. Would you use the same #6?

That is great information. This may be what I do!

Do you know what the options would be for the beads of rice? I see images with it on one but can not see the bracelet number or end link number.

Contact Forstner and Uncle Seiko and ask.

Probably aftermarket.

Most Omega BoR bracelets are with 18mm Endlinks. There are 19mm Endlinks (ref 555 I think) but I’m not sure how they fit on a 2913 and I don’t believe they were an option when new. More for jumbo Seamasters, Connies etc.

Personally I’d just try an Uncle Seiko or Forstner flatlink
