This was my father's watch and the only watch I remember him wearing as I grew up. It was a gift to him in the late 60s or early 70s. Anyway, after being misplaced it was found and given to me. Problem is the bracelet is a little small. I want to keep it as original as possible and I was hoping to find an extra link or two so it will fit comfortably. However, I am having problems identifying the bracelet so I can hopefully find a link. Any help and additional info on it would be would be appreciated.

 

Is there anything printed on the other side of the clasp?

 

Yes. An Ω in a triangle followed by K 14 MADE IN ITALY

Thanks

 

picture of it will be helpful.

 

This is the only thing. Thanks again

 

Anyone have anything?

 

I think we need some help from our Italian members, but I assume everything (dial/bracelet) is 14 karat gold... but you probably already know that. These bracelets typically were not made in Italy AFAIK.

Regardless, it will be near impossible to locate identical links for the bracelet as it is not a standard Swiss Made Omega bracelet that we are more familiar with here on the forums. Additionally if it is in fact 14kt gold then it will not be cheap to find/create extra links for the bracelet.

I would put the bracelet away and put on a nice dressy black crocodile leather strap. It's a really nice watch.

Good luck,
Ben

 

Thank you. I was beginning to think the same thing; this isn't a standard bracelet. Saw something similar on an Aussie website and my parents did travel a lot. Maybe they picked it up on their travels.

Thanks again

I think it is common to have aftermarket bracelet cuz the cost of original 14/18k gold bracelet is almost the value of a watch head. I have a similar white gold Constellation with aftermarket bracelet. Photo below
