First BOR from 50s

Kokito · Dec 8, 2020

Hi, I have first generatoion of BOR bracelet for US market, made by Champion. Clasp with Omega on top and regulation.

I’m looking for information about original references of watch models and +- price check for it.

I hope someone will help. Thank You!

Endlinks probably not original, I believe they came with non-numbered endlinks that are otherwise identical to #11s. I want to say this model was 1958 and earlier, but I’m not sure how early.

Bracelets weren’t sold pre-paired with watches so I suppose they could have been sold with any models where the endlinks fit (Seamasters and Connies of the era at least).

Thank You very much for the info, can You tell me a +- price chart for it?

There have been lots of these sold on ebay as well as this forum over the years and you will see quite a range in price depending on condition. Yours looks quite nice but used BOR are not usually all that expensive. $125-250, depending on the condition. The JB version you have is less common.

16links is quite short, could effect the value as well

These bracelets were shorter than other 5-row BORs because the clasp slides out to make it longer.

I'd say around $200-250 for one of these.
