Hi Michele, looks like you posted this exact question two years ago, with no replies. It'd be good to know what homework you've done since; including looking up some of the really excellent information on this very forum...

This thread may have some helpful info: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-constellations-bracelet-please-help.108245/

I found it using Google and the site search function, you can drop this into Google and adjust the end if needed:

site: https://www.omegaforums.net 14381 bracelet

Something I've done in the past too is search the sales forum for a specific watch and see if anyone sold it with an appropriate bracelet, it's not the same exact ref as yours but it might give you a path to go down: https://omegaforums.net/threads/1961-omega-pie-pan-constellation-14381-7sc.136456/

One can also do a google images search for the reference, identify examples with bracelets, and then look for photos that identify the bracelet. Just takes a little effort.

1036 bracelet with #11 end links worked nicely on mine.

I prefer the 1037 / 8270 / 1503 with 70 / 570 end links. Those are different numbers for the same 7-row BOR as opposed to the 1036 5-row. I find the 5-row BOR goes well with the bold case design of the older big-lug Seamasters and eg. the Constellation 2852, whereas the finer 7-row is a better match for the less-rounded, restrained lines of the 14381. Neither is a bad look and it's down to personal taste.

I’m the opposite - much prefer the 5-row BOR on these. However, the 11 / 511 endlinks are a little too rounded for these cases. The 14s / 514s are perfect IMO - see below.

8220 / 1036 / 1502 bracelets are all 5-row by the way.

One thing is certain. Whether you prefer the five row or seven row design, there is no more comfortable bracelet than a BOR and especially a vintage Omega BOR. They are light, sturdy, feel more like a strap and you can usually dial in a perfect fit. I love mine.

Quick update - I had incorrectly mentioned that these were 12/512s, but they’re actually 14s (edited above). These are hard to find but perfect for 14381/14393s. 12/512s work too, still better than 11/511s.

I found this, that seems to be a 1037/512.
Do you guys think it will fit my 14381?
