Moonwatches with flat link bracelet?

First time poster.

I really like the flat link bracelet that is on the Apollo 11 50th. It looks amazing on the 321 as well.

Are there any other moonwatches with a flat link bracelet?

Yes, all the vintage models from 1957 to 1972 had flat link bracelets.

7077/6 1957- 1961
7912/6 1961-1966
1506/16 1964 - 1966
1039/516 1966- 1972

And now you can buy an aftermarket flat-link bracelet for that closely replicates the older 60s versions. Here’s a link for a review that discusses them (along with other bracelets):

So you don’t need to buy one of the new (and pricey) Speedmasters with the new flat-link bracelets (or a vintage one with the original) - just get any older model and put on an aftermarket flat-link and you get the same look for a fraction of the cost.

However, if you do want to go more pricey, this page will explain how to do it:

But having owned the Uncle Seiko I can attest to its similar quality to the OEM band minus the clasp.

Thanks all!! So looks like either go vintage, bracelet swap with the Apollo 11 50th, or aftermarket from uncle Seiko.

Are there any other modern produced speedies that flat link?
