Hello Omega Fans

How are you? I hope this finds you well.

I came across this bracelet online and I would like to know if it fits properly my Omega Seamaster 166.010.

Can tou help me?

Hi Guiro,

Nice find does the Seamaster have 19mm lug width?

Best wishes,
Dave

These take the 5 row BOR- same as the early fat lugged Seamaster’s. They were the last gasp of the 5-row and use 511/512 endlinks.
@Lucasssssss can give you a list of compatible bracelets.

the "correct" bracelet is the 11 endlink on 1502, 8220 or 1036 endlinks.

Alternatively you could have the following bracelets: 1502, 8220 and 1036
and mix and match with the following endlinks: 11, 12, 14, 514, 511 or 512

The 555 endlinks will not fit on the bracelet you posted, they are 19mm, the bracelet is correct. It is easier (and cheaper) if you can get the endlinks on the bracelet. They are relatively freely avaliable.

I have one of these bracelets on a cosmic and it's great-looking. Go for it if you can score the end links!

Ok Lucas, thanks for the reply.
let me see if I got it right: this bracelet is correct for my watch, but the 555 endlinks won’t fit, even though the seller says it is 18mm.
Do you think I should buy the bracelet and then go after a pair of endlinks? In this case, which references should I look for? Do uou know if omega has them on stock, so I could buy them at the official service center?

thanks!!

Yes, that is correct.

The 555 endlinks were originally 19mm, they may in this case have been filed down. Either way you should avoid this bracelet. In my experience it is much easier buying the bracelet and endlinks together.

There is one for sale here by @No Mercy which is a good price, and I believe is period correct for your watch: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-bor-1502-ss-bracelet-with-11-end-links.109962/
