Just got word from Omega Boutique in Beverly Hills - the bracelet will be available, maybe by EOY.
Yes, attached to an Apollo 11 50th Anniversary LE Speedmaster. I asked Jean-Claude Monachon this afternoon if Omega plans to sell the bracelets separately. The answer was, yes if you have already purchased the 50th LE and maybe want a spare, but no if you just want the bracelet.
There is a countdown on Omega’s website

Don’t you think there will be other release ?
Like an update of the standard speed master professional.

Jean Claude Monanchon today answered very clearly and directly that the standard Speedmaster Pro will be replaced for 2020 with a 3861 version and a new bracelet, which will not be the 50th anniversary bracelet.
How long will the standard Speedy with 1861 be available for? Was planning on purchasing one this year.
As it should be to those forking out for the 50th
I don't think 50th buyers would (or rather should) suffer from somebody else being able to buy the bracelet separately, at least if it's sold at a similar price point. Why would it be detrimental to their own enjoyment of the watch? Especially considering it's just the bracelet. It's probably different with the 2020 Olympics watches, where previous LEs were copied entirely.

We were standing in a group of people handling the 50th LE, with him in front of us and answering questions. So several people heard the same, but it’s not on record anywhere AFAIK... so „no“.
