Vintage Bracelet Question

vienna

From the measurements it looks like a 1170 with an unmarked clasp, sometimes you find a printed number on one of the blades indicating the year of manufacturing. Could also be a non Omega bracelet with an Omega clasp, but I can‘t really tell from the pics.

edit: The straight endlinks (209) seem do not look like Omega endlinks to me,

Kind regards, Max

Doesn’t look like a 1170 to me. The links shape matches up with a 1175, but the flared ends don’t. I suspect this may be an obscure local production bracelet—maybe US or Japan.

I don’t think 634s would fit on this bracelet, even if you remove the 209s, which were never meant to be removed.

1170s have an approximately 9mm terminal link. They’re in the same family as the 1125 and 1171.

1175s are approximately 10mm. They’re in a similar family as the 1069 and come in both flat and curved form.

I have seen somebody try to rig a 1175 to fit a 1170 end link and doesn’t look good—requires cutting into the endlink.

Hi again,

from your pics it looks mire like a 1175, but I have not seen a 1175 with 22 mm width of the last link. You best check if the last link is 20 mm. If so, I would vote for a 1175, where unmarked clasps are pretty common. Also, a 1170 has different taping and the links are mire oval. The links of a 1175 have champfers.

Kind regards Max

I ment the measurement in the pic of your first post, the last fixed link before the straight en link. Sorry for not beeing clear, English is not my mother tounge 😀

(so designed for a 22mm lug width)

Not necessarily. I’ve noticed that some south american market bracelets, were designed to flare out farther than the intended lug width.

Also, Mark IIs and other hidden lug cases often have 20mm lug widths, but flared bracelet designs with 22mm fixed links. Your bracelet was likely made for one of these types of cases.
