    Have an original Speedmaster circa 1969. Fantastic shape, running well. It came on a nylon rubberized strap. Would like a find a period Omega bracelet for this piece. Anyone able to offer help or suggestions for source? Thanks

    I prefer 1039 with 516 end links for a 69 speedie. My 68 has one and I find it extremely comfortable. They are not cheap though.

    If you have a pre-moon caseback the 1969 the original bracelets were the 1039/516 or the 1116/575

    If it was with straight writing caseback, the original bracelets included the 2 above and the 1175/640 and 1171/633.

    My understanding is the the original 1171 had a trapezoid box around the Omega logo like my old one.

    I should have added that this is a Speedmaster Professional Mark II.
