Hi everyone,


I know this topic has come up a few times, but I was hoping to get a clear, definitive answer: what’s the best bracelet alternative for the 3861 Speedmaster?


Personally, I’m not a fan of the new bracelet design and am looking to switch things up. I’ve seen some people pair the watch with the older 1861 bracelet or even the Apollo 11 version, but I’m curious—what’s considered the best option?


Ideally, I’m looking for something that fits directly from Omega without the need for aftermarket end links. Any guidance from those who’ve done the swap would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

Uncle Seiko bracelet on a 3861 hesalite. Not OEM by any means but has served me well. Bought on the nylon strap but never looked back. The end links weren't available immediately but they are now.

It's a subjective question. I don't think you're going to get a clear, definitive answer.

What do you not like about the OEM 3861 bracelet? That should shed light on what is the better option for you.

I myself like the 3861 bracelet(s), but I don't want one on my Snoopy so it will get a Speedy 57 flatlink. If it ever arrives at the OB. I've waited longer for that than the watch itself.
