Speedmaster Reduced Bracelet - Help!

    Hi guys!

    I have been so lucky that i got my hands on a Speedmaster Reduced, Michael Schumacher edition (Ref. 175.0032.1). It came on a leather strap, but i would like a metal bracelet.

    I have asked my Omega dealer, and they would only sell me a bracelet, product no. 020ST1469811

    But to be honest, i do not like the clasp from this 1990's era, and would prefer a more modern look. I have that in mind from the new Speedmaster 38.

    Does anybody know if this bracelet will fit my watch? Or maybe what alternatives i have?

    As I see it, but correct me if I'm wrong, the bracelet on my watch is 18 mm between lugs, the 1469 with a 811 end link.

    Hope somebody can help me!

    Looks like the 1469 811 is the correct bracelet for your watch and is pictured in your post.

    The 1471 815 mentioned above by Vercingetorix is the bracelet for the Sapphire version of the Reduced Automatic Speedmaster 3539.50 which is essentially the same bracelet but has a more modern push button clasp. I have always wanted to get a look at this clasp. .

    Other bracelets may fit, it could be trial and error to find out though. Someone did fit a 1612 932 which is an 18mm Seamaster bracelet.

    Thank you so much for the great advice!

    What is the difference between 1471 815 and 1612 932? When i google photos, it seems like it just that one is more shiny than the other? Or is there something im missing?

    The 1471 bracelet has traditional separate end-links.

    The 1612 appears to be a more modern bracelet with integrated end-links; looks to be 18mm and for a Seamaster midsize as it comes with the Seamaster signed clasp.

    The 1563 850 is a similar modern style 18mm bracelet for the Speedmaster Automatic (Date, Day Date etc) but it has the integrated clasp.

    Again thank you again!

    I love the look of 1563 850! I think i am going to try to find this for my watch!

    do you know if this can be ordered from Omega?

    I don't know. There are a couple of online resellers of Omega straps, depends where in the world you are maybe?

    A word of caution however, just because the bracelet is 18mm and for the *same* size Speedmaster, doesn't mean they are interchangeable. The lug holes position differs in the cases so the end link may not sit right.

    I am from Denmark, Europe. But i am open to ordering from wherever!

    Yeah I am aware of that. Omega just does not make it easy on us hehe..

    Anyway, I just talked to a local Omega guy, he suggested that the bracelet from the 3513.30.00 (Photo attached) should fit, as this is basically the same case (according to him). Do you have any thoughts on that?

    Nowhere near the same case, the one you pictured is much thicker. I’m 99% sure the Speedmaster date bracelet will not fit a Speedmaster reduced.

    I had a silver 3513 . . Beautiful dial. . . I now have a 3523 with the 1563 850 bracelet which is the same bracelet as on the 3513.

    You peaked my interest so I tried it on my 3510 which I believe is closer to (if not the same as) your watch than the 3513:

    As you can see, unfortunately the end-link does not fit properly.

    I think the 1471 815 would fit as it is for the sapphire version of the Automatic Reduced case.
    And I have seen pictures of the 1563 850 from a Seamaster fitted to the Sapphire Automatic Reduced case.

    Otherwise, you could look at the 18mm Uncle Seiko straps for Omega Speedmaster Reduced, but they are a vintage style not the modern you are looking for.

    Hope this helps . . .

    Thank you so much! That really helped!

    To be honest, I am getting a bit lost here hehe. All the different sizes, fits, end links etc. it's just a jungle.

    Maybe i will just go with the one that it is intended to the watch, and than i will have to live with the clasp..

    Or maybe get an aftermarket clasp, if that exists.
