Hey guys,

I’m mainly an omega guy but my Dad gifted me this nice hour angle a couple years back:



I like the watch, but my occupation demands a metal bracelet, a leather or textile strap will get quite soiled (medical field) quickly..

I saw this and fell in love:



Any ID on it? Where can I find one? Is there anyone who has one they want to part with?
I think my watch is the 38mm one.
Appreciate all the expertise and thoughts.

 

Tough crowd

 

Sorry bro. I have never seen this bracelet before. I though this watch only
was available with leather strap.

 

Bulang sells a BOR bracelet with straight ends: https://bulangandsons.com/collections/steel-bracelets

There are probably other places to buy generics as well.

 

I'd go to http://www.lobtime.com/strap---bracelet.html. Good stuff and nice price. I have bought 5 from them ;-)

 

You can also try B and R watch straps. I've bought several from them.

 

hope you find the one in your picture I like it better that all the other suggestions. the problem is always finding the right end pieces unless you don't care about those.

 

Judging from a Google image search, it's likely an original Longines bracelet. Have you tried contacting them directly?

 

I did, and they could not help!

 

7 months later and Longines has proven to be absolutely useless in sourcing their own bracelet. I have emailed on three separate occasions. They don't even recognize their own reference number, 989.5215, printed on the back of my watch, as a watch. I sent pictures of the watch with bracelet, my officer caseback with reference and serial, and they can't help me.
I really want the bracelet and am extraordinarily disappointed in Longines and their customer service.

 

I can’t speak to Longines ineptitude (but like most modern companies that have changed hands a few times, they may know nothing about their older products), but seeing the design of that case, I’m not seeing it as being waterproof, and in the medical field, I would think you would want a watch that can be scrubbed of viscera and chemicals in a sink.
I hate to say it, but this watch may be your desk duty or weekend watch, and something more modern and waterproof on a stainless bracelet may better serve you for work.
