Hi All,

I have a Seamaster caliber 321 from 1966, please see photos below, I want to know the original bracelet number, any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's a Seamaster.

 

Thanks for the correction!

 

Yup. If it has a 321 movement, it's a Seamaster 145.006-66. I believe the correct OEM bracelet was a 1116 with 548 end links. I have this setup myself but here is a link of one recently sold on the OF with the 1116/548.

Btw, it's possible it's an 861 movement from 1968. The case didn't change, I think, and both can use the same bracelet.


Good luck

If I search on the Extranet to show what movements were used with that case, only the 321 is shown...

 

Hi @Archer .
I'm referring to reference 145.016-68, caliber 861. I don't own one but the case looks near identical to the 146.006-66. In fact the entire watch looks near identical. See pics below. The 145.016-68 also appears to have a 1116 bracelet.

See below



145.016-68 from the web

 

Just commenting on your post that a 145006 case would have an 861 inside - that case is for a 321, not an 861. So contrary to the post I quoted above, the case did change.

When cases look "nearly identical" that doesn't mean they are in fact identical. These two cases use different crystals, case tube, pushers, enlargements rings, case back, etc. so they are definitely not the same case.

Cheers, Al

 

As the OP was only concerned about the bracelet, is the lug size identical?

 

Absolutely an option but not original as I believe the 1116/548 was. I prefer the 1116 as the 548 end links complete the case. Here is a pic of the 145.006-66 with the steel mesh.

 

They are both 20 mm.

 

Hi Gemeni4,

Thanks for your reply!
Yes this the same, I go to search the OEM bracelet.
