    Hi all

    My friend has a 2004 St Moritz special edition De Ville Coaxial (https://www.omegawatches.com/news/news-detail/1063/) and is keen to find a bracelet that will fit in place of the deployant leather strap. I think the one of choice would be a 1601/942 Armadillo bracelet but they seem to be like hens' teeth and the RRP is £1k.

    Is anyone able to confirm what bracelet would fit the case, and suggest the best place to find one without getting stung?

    thanks!

    Hi there!

    I have the DeVille Chrono I bracelet, will look at the reference when I will get home. Attached a picture of mine, that's the model you're looking for, as case geometry should be the same.

    if you ask me, the brown strap looks a lot better than this bracelet.

    TBH, I'm no fan of the St Moritz anyway; my friend has his on a black deployant strap but he wants to put it on a bracelet as he wants a change. Each to their own, I suppose :)

    Interesting watch 41mm with Spider lugs. I can see the attraction. Love the color on the white LE.

    The brick road bracelet makes sense with the styling. It's a bit of an odd duck being a larger watch with such throw back styling.

    To the OP that watch really needs fitted endlinks to work which means an Omega bracelet. It's just not going to look right with an after market bracelet without end-links. And that bracelet is not exactly cheap.

    On the other hand you seem to be on the right track with an armadillo bracelet... the right one of those might work. Get the lug width and check Speidel.com for the twist o flex straight end. Should be under 30 bucks.

    The correct bracelet for the DeVille chrono is ref. 1602/944.
