Hi all, I’m new to these parts and bought my first Seamaster (post 2018) It’s gorgeous and I’m so pleased with it. Only thing is I’m looking for a decent metal bracelet - I got an amazing deal on the watch second hand but it didn’t come with bracelet you see (I got the Runber strap version - it also came with a lovely Omega nato though so not complaining!).

I’d love the Omega bracelet but will need to save for that! In the meantime however, wondered what people would recommend - I’d ideally like a curved end link so it’s flush to the case.

Thanks so much for reading and any help would be really appreciated.

Congrats!

In my brutally honest opinion: either go OEM or buy a decent mesh/Milanese bracelet.

For the latter, Strapcode has a decent and tapering one. Make sure you get at least a 2.5mm thickness to complement the modern size of the watch.

Yiu can also check out full bracelet options from Forstner and Uncle Seiko.

I'll give you an alternative view. Don't go with any bracelet. Having had various versions of the Diver 300 (currently i have 4🤦) the only one I have on the bracelet is the NTTD. That's because its so comfortable once I bought the short version. Otherwise the Omega rubber strap makes the Seamaster so much more comfortable and much lighter.

Thank very much for your suggestions! I am leaning towards saving for the OEM and until then, wear majority of time on rubber strap.

Love that you have 4 SMP’s btw way LC! Ha, you must love em!

I will defo take a look at a Milanese over at strapcode though too.

Much obliged folks!

You can try an aftermarket bracelet from Forstner Bands or Uncle Seiko for much cheaper than an OEM bracelet from Omega.

I am in the same position as you archierowe, picked up a grey dial SMP300 with a rubber strap. Picked it up on a good deal, assuming that grey is the least popular. Was told they sold the metal bracelet on the oem site, but when I came home to look for it could not find it. All I could find is nato and leather bands. Anyone know where to order an oem bracelet? Thanks for the heads up. May try texasmade advice and go for cheaper alternative but kind of want to want retain oem look, although tapered bracelet would look bettter IMO.

Call up your local Omega boutique. They can easily order one for you. In the US, the bracelet should run you about $700.

Are these the same bracelets that fit the 2254.50?

I really don't like the stock omega bracelet. Can anyone suggest a nice jubilee?
