I have always loved this watch and been fascinated by the bracket it is so intricate.

So my question is anyone know how it is made? Just curious of the process.

Thx

The bracelet you show is a type of Milanese Mesh. This is a woven wire bracelet named after Milan in Italy where the style originated.

I also saw that post by Tom about nine years ago, but your memory is better than mine 😉.

Whilst I love the look of Milanese bracelets, I've always found them uncomfortable. Would love to find one that doesn't feel so restrictive.

If I’m not mistaken, many of the mesh bracelet for relatively high end brands like Omega and Breitling for instance are made by a German company called STAIB.
