I have a 2.4MHz Megaquartz and I'd like to get a bracelet for it so I can add it to my rotation.

I went over to my OB looking for a 1209/202 or 3018/202 but no luck trying to find it in their parts list. From some other threads on WUS and OF, it appears I should be looking for a 3019/202 instead.

- Is the 3019/202 the correct bracelet these days?
- Is it still available from Omega and, if so, what's the part number?
- Or, does anyone have a lead on a 1209/202 or 3018/202?

Thanks!

According to this great list: https://omegaforums.net/threads/case-bracelet-endpiece-list.81618/
for 2.4 MHz Megaquartz 396.0806/196.0013 the original right bracelet reference is 1209/202.
(Bracelet 1209/202 also fits 398.0832/198.0082 and 398.0836/198.0074)
The bracelet 3018/202 which is not in the list appears to be the later replacement of the 1209/202.

Some more interesting information: https://www.omegamegaquartz.com
Here they mention the 1209/202 to have solid links and the later 3018/202 to have hollow links.

Not hugely easy to come by nw, the best bet is ebay. Omega still supply the 3018/202 service replacement but they are pricey, although well made they also don't have the feel of the original 1209/202

I have a 1210/202 which comes off a Seamaster Megaquartz. As far as I know they are identical, can somebody confirm the widest link with 28 mm for the 1209?

Kind regards Max

1210/202 and 1209/202 are 2mm different at the case fitting, trust me that 2mm makes a big difference

Thanks! You wouldn't happen to know the Omega service part number by chance? If not, I can chat with the OB again and see what we can find.

I'm also cool with the feel of a hollow-core bracelet. It's one of the things I like about the 1171 on my Speedys
