Is that the 020stz011626?

Yes it is.
I am desperately trying to get one... Any advice?

I believe they are readily available from a Boutique or AD. You should read this entire thread and be aware that they need modifications (depending on who you ask and how perfect you want it to fit) to work with some watches.

Thanks again.
Many thanks for your advise.
I am planning to use this bracelet on my Speedmaster 3570.50.00 - it seems that using thinner springbars allows an almost perfect fitting... I hope I understood well this entire thread.

I've been wearing my Apollo 11 bracelet on some of my modern Speedies, but it also fits great on my 1990 Speedy Pro.

Did you make any modifications to the end links to fit it to the Speedy? What spring bar size diameter are you using?

I wouldn't go thinner than 1.8

No modifications required. I am pretty sure I used 19mm x 1.8mm spring bars for this watch. On my Snoopy, I had to use 1.5mm diameter spring bars due to the slightly different case thickness.

The Seamaster 300 has 19mm lugs, while the 50 is 20mm. The 50 bracelet also ends at 20mm (final link before the endlink) so wouldn't look very good even if you were able to mate it to the Seamaster 300 "6" endlinks.

Which Seamaster 300 has 19mm lugs? I thought the Diver has 20mm and the Master Co-Axial has 21mm

Read the post above yours again. The Trilogy SM 300 60th Anni has 19mm lugs. As you say the SMP has 20mm and the SMMC 21mm. Omega like to mix it up a bit.

Not sure why people are still trying to fit this bracelet to other watches, it just doesn't fit very well without bodging it with shorter or thinner bars (what could possibly go wrong there) and even then the lip makes it sit funny. For whatever reason, Omega decided this bracelet wasn't to be compatible with other pieces. I note they have done it again with the 321 Ed White reissue 19mm version.

And the back?
Sits nice on my SM300. Not crooked (or tipped forward or back I mean) and very tight. Obviously not gonna be that lucky with every omega case.

Because it is winter I don't have it fitted at the moment, and I didn’t take a photo of the back when I did. However, this bracelet has been modified by Adam Lewis (@photo500) and it fits well, unlike the alternate spring bar approach. Next time I do fit it, I will take a photo of the back and post here for reference purposes.

And how does he modify the endlink to work on a speedy pro?

Most likely by shaving and trimming the protruding lip on the bracelet to allow a normal spring bar to be used.
