I have just purchased this watch, in my opinion, a lot of watch for the money. Could anyone inform me if the clasp is original, and if not where would I get one? The watch is 1970 and has an 8-inch strap.

Thanks you in advance,

cheers,

Paul

It isn't an Omega bracelet so it wouldn't have an Omega clasp anyway.

Which is not to say that Omega didn't sell bracelets like that, more commonly attached to Constellations, but yours is aftermarket.

Well, thanks for that, was it common practice to add a gold bracelet on?

Sure. The customer gets whatever he wants (and is willing to pay for). If it came with a strap and he wanted a bracelet, branded and aftermarket options were available.
