Halios Fairwind Bracelet on 1861 Speedmaster (Pictorial)

I just can't seem to leave stuff alone and always want to try and modify my Omegas 😀. Just got the Halios Fairwind in this morning. My initial impressions of the watch is it is okay. Nothing overly spectacular. The cool part about the watch is the bracelet and the fact that you can micro adjust from the clasp with a push of the button from the outside of the clasp with the 3 moon symbols.

Out of curiosity knowing that the bracelet was 20mm, I attempted to fit it on my Omega Speedmaster by utilizing Uncle Seiko flatlink end links and stock Speedmaster spring bars. Here are the results (yes I am aware I put the bracelet on backwards. It was intentional:







A couple of issues here:

The prongs on the Uncle Seiko end links are too low, causing a gap between the last link of the bracelet and the end link. I believe this can be corrected if they are extended out a bit but I fear they are not long enough to properly curl. I will need to order some spare end links from Larry to modify and test out:









The bracelet will work on the watch, but not without that gap there which at certain angles you cannot even tell exists:















Let me know what you guys think!

That clasp is big as a belt buckle. It looks longer than the watch from lug to lug. Is it comfortable to wear?

The clasp is huge. The A11 bracelet is different gear but clearly has little in way of adjustment.

This is not a 3861.
Why are you misleading people?

No competition with the original bracelet that came with the watch.

Settle down. Typo. Been corrected!

Yes, it's not a conspiracy. It was a typo. And I owned it for 4 days ;-)

This is my main objective for the bracelet anyways not the Speedy. I much prefer that on the Anniversary bracelet.

It looks much better on the Seamaster 👍
