Here my FOIS on an elastic strap from Speidel Reference 230186WL.


Warning: The spring-loaded end links on this type of bracelets will wear out the area around the lug holes over time. Some use small plastic washers for protection. I did this by changing the end links to the appropriate width (here 19 mm) and thus avoiding the spring function.

 

Dont think we have had this one. Took me a while to find one.

 

Great, thanks for posting

 

If it doesn't have to be an original Omega bracelet, there are now some interesting options.
There are two interesting threads regarding bracelets from Forstner and Uncle Seiko which are both worth to check out.

Uncle Seiko now offers four bracelets fitting the FOIS. All vintage inspired.

Hi,

I got my Forstner today, I am wearing it with my 60th Anni Speedy, but I could imagine that it will look perfect with the FOIS, too.
For me the Forstner is the most uncommon bracelet compared with the bracelets from the modern times nowerdays, but when I
see the pictures of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Astronaut, it gives me a feeling of being back in 1960ies and 70ies.
And: It is extrem comfortable to wear!

For something a bit more unconventional, here's my FOIS on a recreation of a bracelet originally designed for the Seiko Bellmatic, sometimes called a "railroad" bracelet. I believe Uncleseiko sells one with slightly different endlinks from the one I have.

 

I don't post much here, but here's my FOIS on a Titus strap with endlinks shaved from 20mm down to 19mm and an Omega clasp grafted on, bought from a kind gentleman here on the forum. This is a real option if you want to do a bit of DIY because BOR bracelets came on all kinds of watches in the 70s.

 

Here's a cheap option: a $45 eBay rivet-style braceletPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network.






I've shown the bracelet here before, but it bears repeating… The endlinks are a better fit than those on my 1125, the feel of the bracelet is more hefty which suits the watch and the endlinks are just the right amount of flimsy.

Since the FOIS to my mind is a fifties design, I feel I can get away with using a riveted bracelet

There is a good amount of taper and there are four removable links.

 

Thanks for posting!
Great to see it again.

 

I bought one of these on your reccie. Looking forward to installing it on arrival.

 

FOIS on modern 1565 / 976 bracelet.
I have edited the initial post and added this bracelet.

 

Glad you are still enjoying it! Uncle Seiko now makes a BoR for the FOIS which I just picked up and I like it a lot. The end-links fit a lot better than on that one!

 

FOIS on Forstner looks great.

Is this the double deployant version of this bracelet? I am very much into this as an option for my CK2998LE. I wonder if an Omega boutique person could help with the end link issue ...

 

Mine just arrived, finally -- will try to fit it this weekend. Very nicely built for sure.

 

On an FOIS?
No, sorry.
Not for me.

 

OK no really a FOIS, but here's my CK2998 on a US1171 president from Uncle Seiko ...
I prefered to save the price difference with real Omeage bracelet to buy a Seamaster 300 Co Axial, when i'll be decided to buy it ...

 

Just a quick comment on help from the Omega boutique: if I'm not mistaken, the Omega internal website available to them will unfortunately only show the 'official' options, so they are not much help at all in finding out what might or might not fit. When I ordered my adjustable clasp at an Omega AD, I had to research the clasp and interface links myself beforehand. They were neither able to confirm nor deny that what I picked would fit. This and the corresponding WUS forum are your best research tools.

 

Hi,
After seing the release of the new Ed White with 321 caliber, I was wondering whether its nice bracelet would fit the FOIS.
Tried a photoshop, but i'm really terrible at this (paint skill level).
What do you guys think ?
