Any recommend bracelet for 168.022??

Nebulosa Cat · Dec 13, 2025

I finally bought the watch in my last post
according to the PDF on OF, this watch match those bracelet

I think the 1125/560 has the best looking of Omega bracelet

but the problem is, those vintage bracelet is very expensive (over 300 usd)
is there any alternative 3 party product can match this watch?

Personal prefer: jubilee or 1125/560

and my wrist only 15cm, very thin
any bracelet can fit?

Thanks & Best Regard

I bought this 1125/560 in an auction for a little under $200. If you're patient, you can probably find one for a fair price, $200-$250. Even an aftermarket bracelet will probably cost you at least $100 if it's high quality, and you will never really know in advance if it's going to be a good fit.

Thanks for your help o7
is the "auction" means eBay bidding ? As an Asian I'm really unfamiliar about US/EURO market platform.

I doubt it was eBay, I haven't bought anything there for a long time. If you're in Asia, you should keep an eye on Yahoo Japan, or whatever it's called now. I used to buy a lot of things there before everything went crazy this year.

I used a proxy bidding service from the US: Buyee or FromJapan. You can probably do something similar. The fees are very low.

Hi! I know this thread is a couple of months old, but I wanted to add some photos for future reference and for anyone else looking into this specific pairing.

I have the same ref. 168.022 and it’s currently on a 1098 bracelet with 547 end links. As you can see from the pictures, the fit is very good and it’s a very comfortable daily option.

I did a quick search and these can still be found at relatively reasonable prices, for example here:https://www.ebay.it/sch/i.html?_nkw=omega+bracelet+1098&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l1313

Hope this helps the OP if the search is still on, or anyone else discovering this thread later!

The 1098 with 547 end links is a new one for me on the 166.028 / 168.022 cases. Wild how many combinations work on these vintage omegas.

One other combination that hasn’t yet been shared for this case reference is the 1175 bracelet with 48 end links. Looks similar to the 1125 / 560 that @Dan S shared but the link section of the bracelet is flatter.

Here is the 1968 Omega Olympics ad with the 1175/48 shown and my orange hand 166.028 with the 1098/48 bracelet/end links pairing.

547s are very similar to the 540, but are definitely harder to find. Afaik, they were only officially for the 166.027, and related cases. That being said the 166.027 takes the other bracelet/endlink combinations listed for the 166.028/168.022.

As you note, the 1175/48 works but is not listed. It is my impression that the 48 endlinks came from the North American market, and thus would not be on the official swiss lists. However, there are clearly advertisements showing the combination.

Another bracelet combo that isn’t mentioned, but seen in Japan is this JDM oyster style bracelet:

Lastly, I’ve seen some examples with BOR bracelets. I don’t think this was ever meant to be a factory combo and most of 19mm BOR endlinks I’ve seen are totally unmarked.
