Omega Geneve Stingray Bracelet

Hello all,

I own a mid 70's Omega Stingray, sometimes called a Cobra. I recently had the watch fully serviced mechanically but not polished. Since the day I purchased it I never had the original strap/bracelet. I'm at a loss trying to find out exactly what options were available for this oddity. Does anyone know what these watches would have been equipped with from the factory?

The first picture below is of my actual watch with a very simple leather band I had laying around. It's never done anything for me, and I find it mismatched to the watch.

The second picture is what I think a factory original bracelet would look like, however I don't know the reference of the bracelet, I believe it's a 3 digit number starting with 5.

The third picture is what my watch sort of looks like today. It's a stock internet photo but I'm using a mesh bracelet now I purchased for my Seamaster before I rebuilt the OEM bracelet. It's not bad however the watch isn't polished so the bright chrome like finish on the mesh clashes a little.

I'm sure there were other options, and I've seen leather bands as well that look factory, just not 100% sure. Any info would be greatly apperciated.

Thank you,
Sam

If the watch reference is 166.(0)121, these bracelet references should fit the watch: 1173/657, 1202/205, 1175/658.

Extremely handy, thank you!

I have one too that I had serviced and rebrushed and put it on an aftermarket vintage snakeskin band...which is now sadly back in the repair box after a bike accident...I do like the shark mesh look though. Don't polish the brushed finish out..it's supposed to look like that...

Hi samdjr74,

The bracelet on your third picture is an original Omega mesh. Advantage of it: two different sides with the one beeing brushed and the other mirror polished. And so perfectly to fit to different cases.

Greetings from mine 😁😁



and a leather strap is a legit alternative to the Stingray since mine came to me as a NOS full Set and was equipped with a black leather.



Cheers,

Winny

Bonjour à tous

J'ai essayé plusieurs bracelet et je trouve que les bracelets Nato ce portes très bien surtout avec l'architecture de la boite le passage entre les cornes se font parfaitement
Sinon un très joli galuchat serait aussi parfait
