Hi all,

I am currently bidding on this 18 mm bracelet.
What Omega model would this bracelet fit? It is stated that it would fit a Geneve.
Do you think it would fit a Geneve Chronostop?

Best solution will be to ask the seller the dimension of the end link and to measure it at your watch.

Hi

These were often supplied in the UK with a seamaster deville. I’ve seen a couple of these before.
Regards
Chris

Thanks, @lucian23 and @Biezmez!
I ended up winning it, so now I will have to test it on various watches in my collection. If it does not fit properly on any of them, I will just have to find a new watch that does 😁

They are really nice quality bracelets. As you referred to a chronostop I gather you’re also looking for the omega Milanese bracelet for that as well. The 1120/116 is a nice bracelet to have on a chronostop.

They’re used on many 60’s 18mm Seamasters but not Chronostops. They have a different, specific bracelet.

Won't fit a Chronostop but may fit round cases.

Thanks for great insights, @Biezmez , @Davidt and @JimInOz!
Will try to put it on this and see how that works.
Might be a bit «grey» and dull…

The bracelet is made by Dennis Shackman and sons in the UK, they made all of the gold bracelets at the time for the UK market for Omega and Rolex/ Longines etc. Swiss Time Service now own their equipment and make solid gold bracelets to order. I am a real fan of these bracelets, they are by far superior to the period Omega stainless steel items (IMHO). I have a few, they only made 18 and 19mm. Yours will fit most omega model from the Seamaster, constellation and Geneve range. Really nice catch, they are rare things

Here is an update with the bracelet on my 136.070.
Looking good, but the bracelet is just a bit too large for my wrist.

don't forget staib bracelets too. I believe they do make the omega OEM bracelet (or at least someone previously told me that). I purchase one in the past and they are top quality.
