Bracelet for a Seamaster Cal.321 - CK2907 or 14360

theblotted · Jan 29, 2024

Hi esteemed collectors,

Does anybody know which bracelet works on the Seamaster 321 chronograph CK14360 or 2907?

I've heard that the BoR pairs well, but it seems like there's a couple different versions.
What about the "oyster" style flat-link (a la 1039) bracelets?

Which endlinks (14360 uses 18mm)?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Nobody...? Okay, or better yet, is there any useful reference tables (a la vintage Rolex models) where it shows which vintage Omega bracelets could work with certain references? Tried looking but couldn't find any...

I don’t think these came with bracelets as a standard option, instead coming on leather.
A 5 row beads of rice such as the 1502 would be the obvious choice but you may have to do some trial and error on the Endlinks. Perhaps No.11’s?

Hqve you research these and similar references to find any examples with bracelets?

Thanks Davidt. Definitely searched and saw that the 5 row BoR are the go-to.

Since there are alternative genuine Omega bracelets like flat links, mesh, 7 row, etc; just didn't know if there were any other viable options or whether there's a reference guide with vintage Omega's (like Rolex or Heuers). Sincere apologies if this is an elementary Q, I'm not as deep into Omega as I am with other brands, and haven't found any from my researches!

There is a bracelet and end piece reference thread. I’ll try and dig it out. However, this generally came into play more towards the 60’s when most case references had specific Endlinks designed and allocated. For many 50’s references, the default seems to have been leather straps, sometimes with bracelet options.

Personally I'm not a fan of a BoR for that watch, but that's just me. This looks better in my eye. It's very similar to a 1118 with 582 endlinks, but probably someone else can better identify it.

Thanks for this!! I don’t see the ones for Seamasters mentioned, but certainly helpful for future reference!

Yes I’m also looking for something other than the standard 5 row BoR. That’s not a bad option, although it doesn’t look too cohesive, is that period correct?

If the one in the photo is actually a 1118, then I believe it's from the late 60s. So not really period correct.

I wouldn't worry too much if the watch was never sold with a bracelet, as nothing will be cohesive. I'd get something that looks good on it.

Three years ago, OF helped me out on a similar question for a 1958 Seamaster chronograph ref CK 2907/2.

I was told the modern version is 3010/511, and that a 1506/724 would also work. Key thing was to look for 511 or 11 end links.

It took a lot of looking to find a used BOR with 11 end links. Ultimately, the bracelet I found listed here on OF with 11 end links might have been modified — the clasp is stamped 1036. But it was the end links that were most important; the lug width on my watch is old school, so just under 18mm.

In any event, the bracelet works very well. Very comfortable, and to my eyes suits the watch. It’s a five row BOR.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

I'm really surprised to not see any pictures of this. I think this reference would look great on a flat link bracelet, just like the 50's Constellations do.

Thanks for this insight nicks, will have to look for the said thread. Yea, would love to see a photo of the final product if you have one!

In regards to 1506, you mean something like this? (Courtesy of OmegaEnthusiast again; though this is a 14364 as an example):

theblotted · Jan 31, 2024

The flat links really works on an angular lug reference like the 14364 or the 2884. Wonder how it will look like with the rounded beefy lugs like a 14360…

nicks · Feb 1, 2024

Thanks for posting the picture of the 1506; very nice. Just a matter of personal preference between that and a BOR, I suppose.

I have to say they both look really good to me.

I think maybe that is meant to say 1503? A seven row beads of rice bracelet. For a flat link bracelet, I'd expect the ones mentioned in the following thread to work (with adjustments to the end links): https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-flat-link-braclets-for-60ies-constellation.86114/#post-1111294
And for more flat link bracelets on less angular watches: https://omegaforums.net/threads/show-your-flat-link-bracelets-on-dress-watches.45567/

Thanks for sharing those links Olhenry56, now I got some decisions to make (and research as to what is the correct endlinks for the fat lugs).

A collector friend also shared this with me, interesting that some of these references didn't come with a bracelet; but could add a bracelet as an option after the fact, like it's an afterthought (vs an option at the retailer then):
