    Can someone tell me the correct reference number of the bracelet for this watch, and what its cost would be from an AD or boutique? Thanks.

    I don’t know the price but I found an image in a 2018 catalogue with the reference numbers.
    I hope it helps.

    According to monochrome watches in their review of the 2021 heritage:

    Thanks. I think this might pre-date the release of the second generation model.

    Perhaps Archer or one of our other resident watchmakers might know?

    All use the same steel bracelet.

    I'm not currently somewhere where I can get a great look at my bracelet, but the bracelet itself bears STZ014126. Probably @Archer can confirm.

    If you order through a Boutique, they can use the watch ref number to order parts.

    Edit: here's a picture.

    Thanks., this is very helpful.

    The price differential between the black-dialed strap vs. bracelet model (in stainless), is $400. When I called my AD, I got quoted a price for the bracelet of $1000. Wow…

    020STZ014057 is the bracelet number.

    Thanks. Confusing, though, as the AD confirmed the STZ014126 number for the watch(s) in question, plus that’s the number on the back side of an actual bracelet. Are these different bracelets, or the same thing with two different numbers?

    Omega no longer puts the actual bracelet number on the bracelet, which does confuse a lot of people. The number shown above in the photo is the part number for one of the two bracelet "strands" that are part of the bracelet. Not the same as the number for the entire bracelet that I have given you above...

    130STZ014126 | BRACELET STRAND COMPL.ST 6H/12H

    The "strand" is itself an assembly of fixed links, removable links, and the end link. It doesn't include the clasp. As you can see there's one for the 6 o'clock side, and one for 12 o'clock side.

    So a complete bracelet is 2 strands plus the clasp assembly.

    So, Bob, are you trying to decide whether to buy the watch with bracelet and then pick up the strap or vice versa? I bought mine with the bracelet on the grey market and then added an aftermarket strap from Artisan. The bracelet is great, but I truthfully wear the watch more on the strap.

    That's interesting, thank you for sharing this information. I did notes that the part number was on both sides of the bracelet.

    As a completely unhelpful Counterpoint, I wore mine on a strap for the last week and when I got my clasp fixed yesterday I couldn't have been happier. I really like the bracelet.

    Al, does any of your information also provide a pricing structure for this item? Thanks.

    Would should I expect to pay, if that’s something you’re able to reveal?

    The $1,000 price you were given is accurate.
