Question on Seamaster Trilogy 60th

Does anyone know if the 321 bracelet or new FOIS bracelet will fit the Seamaster trilogy? Love the watch and it’s ok on the mesh/nato/leather, but really like the flat link bracelet with it. However, the lack of the taper on the vintage style leaves something to be desired.

I have seen people make those two bracelets work with the Speedy trilogy, but could not find anything on the Seamaster trilogy.

If you dig around a bit, there is a thread where somebody got the 321 flat link to fit but apparently it was causing some rubbing on the inside portion of the case and lug after several months of constant wear.

My guess is a 321 bracelet could probably be very slightly modified to fit properly. I don't know about the newer anniversary fois my understanding is the lugs are a bit longer than the 321.. not sure anyone has tried fitting that to the 300.

I have a US1035 on mine

Looks great - I had been meaning to ask someone with this setup - are you using the hollow 19mm endlinks, or do the solid ones work?
I've had them in my basket for a while, so this has just tipped me over the edge - might treat myself to the adjustable milled clast to go with it as well.

I'm using the hollows with a NOS vintage Omega clasp I got on e-Bay.

I could never make mine fit on the Seamaster for some reason, but could happily swap it over onto the Trilogy Speedy without a moments hassle.

I quite like the heft of the bracelet on the Seamaster, it doesn’t feel as fitting on the Railmaster or Speedmaster.

I finally got to switch out the original bracelet with the Uncle Seiko 1035 and the 19mm endlinks. I got his milled clasp while i was at it, and happy i did, as it's a nice upgrade.
The endlinks fitted perfectly - no need for any fiddling at all, and they fit the curve of the lugs well. I really love the taper of the bracelet, it changes the feel a lot, and I'm very happy with the 'upgrade'(or is it a downgrade?!?!)
It seems a little strange to change the OEM bracelet for an aftermarket one, but glad I did - it feels a bit more vintage, if that makes sense.

Late to the party- I tried this tonight as I remembered the 321 bracelet fits the Seamaster, albeit with thinner spring bars. The fit is very good, locked in tight with no movement, I can certainly recommend how great it looks too.

Hot damn that looks great! I've been considering wearing my 321 on the brown leather from my Seamaster 1948 LE...I'll do some bracelet/strap musical chairs this evening

The 321 looks so good on a nice strap or nato it rarely sees the bracelet. I think this is a swap that might hold for a little while, clears away some of the flaws of the Seamaster.

Nice! Yeah, mine was living on an orange Joseph Bonnie tropic strap for the summer. I swapped the buckle for the vintage Omega clasp. Now that summer here in Europe is done, I'm going to try out that 321 bracelet and see how I get on with it

Joseph Bonnie makes fantastic tropics, great choice, orange is a colour I haven t considered for the trilogy, but certainly will after seeing this. We’re heading into summer so that is a perfect option for the heat, it was 38c/ nearly 100f here yesterday.

With 1.5mm - 1.8mm thin spring bars you should find a fit, just be patient. It took a minute or so to push the spring bar back towards the head of the watch with the tool for it to seat.

About to pull the trigger on one of these, but I’m the same boat about not liking the factory bracelet bc of no taper. Anyone have an update on how the 321 or FOIS bracelets are doing if they swapped, or any other comments?

Mine is permanently placed on the 321 bracelet, see the photos above, I needed to raid my springbar box for the correct thickness of bar to allow the bracelet to fit, with no movement. It looks great, transforms the watch into what it should be.

The original bracelet is fine, but the 321’s is a worthy upgrade. As seen in other photos above there are some excellent strap combinations that suit the watch too.

I want to get this strap, but they only have it in 20 mm it looks like. Is that a 20 squeezed in to fit, or did they have a 19mm at sometime?

Just updating that the FOIS bracelet is installed on my Seamaster trilogy. Put a little curve in the spring bars and it snapped right in securely. I've had a few Omega's and this, in my opinion, is by far the best bracelet I've ever worn.

Agreed. The Trilogy bracelets are fantastic.
