You are looking for a 1210/202 bracelet. They are relatively easy to find. There is one on ebay at the moment for £325.

According to my watchmaker, the battery needs to be replaced. Do you know how much something like that can cost? In order for me to find out, the watch would first have to be sent to Omega
If there is a local watchmaker near you, and I don’t mean the guy in the mall, take the watch in and he will be able to replace the battery and fit a new protective gasket and set the watch for you. I estimate it will cost about £20.

Absolutely no need to send it to Omega unless it’s actually damaged.

The watchmaker may well be able to supply you with and fit a reasonably priced strap or bracelet so that you can enjoy the watch.

I was by two watchmakers, one of them Omega dealers, both would send it to Omega to have a cost estimate. My watchmaker sad they must replace the Battery(German: Akku) and it would cost more than 200€

I have three cal 1250 Omegas. To change the battery, you must unscrew the caseback. I use a watchmaker's caseback ball.

You'll then need a fine edged screw driver (about the size used to adjust the ear pieces if you wear glasses).

You then loosen the battery holder screw, remove the battery and replace it.

Sometimes it may take a little bit of adjustment to get it sitting right.

At least that way, you’ll know if the watch is working correctly or not.

If not, post where you live and someone will be able to recommend a private watch repair that specialises in this sort of watch
