Dear all,

how are you?
I recently bought my first vintage omega.
The mode is omega geneve 135.041.
It just came with the watch itself and without the bracelet. I was wondering what kind of steel bracelet would fit with this model.
Can you guys help me to find what bracelet would fit and will look amazing?

thank you!!

One of:
1118/582
1122/558
1156/589
1168/637

Before you spend a lot on a vintage bracelet, first call Omega and give them the case number and see if there is anything in stock.

Thank you for the response!
I was wondering because the vintage bracelet is expensive would you might know any non genuine bracelet that might fit?

Of course not. Nothing aftermarket will come close.

So, strap!

Or not, your choice.

Make sure you check the length. Making it shorter is trivial but getting more links are nearly impossible.

I've adjusted these myself, pain in the butt. Ask your watchmaker to do it. 😁

You have to check the manufacturer of the case. Bracelets don’t fit to all cases of this reference. for example the fixoflex 1122 bracelet fits only the EPSA manufactured cases which I observed only in the ref 165.041.
If yours is a LL case I think no bracelet will fit.
If it is a CB case then you can try 1156 and 1118 with proper endlinks!

£300?? That's totally outrageous! It's not even worth half that! A fact that would have been helpful to point out to a newbie rather than send him off to be potentially fleeced.
It’s worth whatever a buyer thinks it’s worth.

this seller was selling two of them for $180 dollars so I just purchased it and probably going to sell one of them to my colleague

There is a marking in the caseback that shows who made it. Share that image. Though, since you bought the bracelet, you'll know if it fits. These are fiddly to get on and making it shorter or longer is a pain in the butt too. You might ask your watchmaker to fit and adjust.

I believe the correct bracelet for the Geneve 041 case is this oyster-style "#11" rivet bracelet with the 589 end links. I'm wearing mine today.
I've seen a few photos of these 041's with this same bracelet.

It is one of the many which suits some of the .041 cases. Consider that not all the .041 cases are the same, I observed some difference in the lug length and the surface finish. There is a thread from mine where I posted some pics.
