Has anyone paired the new Longines 20mm Hydroconquest Milanese Bracelet on the SEAMASTER 300m? Is this possible? Any problems sourcing one? The Longines Milanese bracelet has four micro adjustments and seems of higher quality and utility than the Omega Milanese bracelet.

I love it for the very fact it has a micro adjust. Its better than the OEM Omega mesh because of that fact not to mention its significantly cheaper.

Thanks for confirming that it fits the SMP. Any problems with the installation of the Longines Milanese strap on the SMP?

I had trouble with one end link. Its fits so flush with the lugs that if you try to put one end of the spring bar in then the other, the fact that you have the bracelet angled slightly wouldn’t allow the endlink to fit between the lugs. You need to compress both ends of the springbar then move the endlink in. I had to pull out my tweezer springbar tool whoch doesnt work all that well and I refuse to spend a few hundred dollars on a Bergeon springbar tool for that. Eventually I got it to fit.

I rocked the OEM bracelet for the longest time and I like it but after a few years the weight started to bother me. The mesh is so much nicer. Get it. You won’t regret it. I got mine from Topper Jeweler in Burlingame California. It cost close to $500. Pricey but worth it and still so much cheaper than the Omega mesh.

For my SMP, I switched the rubber straps for the Omega Milanese bracelet and to change to the bracelet it took me close to 15 minutes. I had the same problem fitting the springbars into the lug holes. I didn't use my tweezer springboard tool but I think I will need to for the Longines bracelet.

Wish they went for an integrated mesh (much like Breitling did) IMHO looks a lot neater.

An integrated bracelet would be pretty sweet indeed. Unfortunately I just don’t see Omega offering anything like this in the near future.

Completely agree. Feel the mesh how they have it is to stay.
