Hi guys,

I’m looking to acquire an authentic Omega BoR bracelet for my vintage Seamaster chrono ref. 14364-2. I’m learning there probably isn’t a definitive bracelet, but I need to find the right endlinks. So, who knows what bracelet and endlinks fit my precious watch?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Here’s a picture of the watch I made this morning:

Nobody with an idea? I genuinely have little knowledge, but would really like to try a BoR on my Seamaster.

Picture just to spice things up:

Can you confirm that ref number? I didn't see it in the pages here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/case-bracelet-endpiece-list.81618/#post-1045310

That list is from the change to the 6 digit references.

Regarding endlinks, can you please give us a lug width for the watch as well as year?

I would guess 11 endlinks are most likely to work.

You’re right, this reference pre-dates the 6 digit references. It’s from 1959. I did read that the 14364-1 however, which one can assume pre-dates mine, runs until at least 1961.

The lug width is 18mm. I already bought leather straps in that size.
In the 6 digit references, these models are numbered 105.001, 105.003 and 105.004 at least, but I can’t find these on the abovementioned list either. I can guess these have the same case shape as mine, but I’m not sure.

If 18mm, then the correct endlinks will be #11 on a 1502, 8220, 1036. They are relatively common, and can be picked up reasonably easily.

Hi @Neyra !

I hope you won't mind me reviving this thread as I have the exact same question as you!
I very recently aquired a vintage Seamaster chronograph ref. 14364-2 and I am too looking for a BoR bracelet for it!

Here it is 😀

Since your last message here, did you ever had the chance to try any of the bracelet/end links refs mentioned in this thread?
If so I'd love to know more about your findings, if anyone else has more clarity to give on the subject I'm all ears!

Hi @Seiha !

First time I see the exact same watch as mine, uncanny! It’s been a while since I was looking for this BoR stuff. I must say I’ve kind of aborted mission. The reason is I tried a BoR bracelet a friend of mine had on his (fairly common time only) Seamaster and I was a little underwhelmed by the look of it on my chrono.

I still believe however that if you pursue abovementioned endlinks you should succeed.

Best of luck for you!

Thanks for the really quick reply @Neyra !

I get your meaning and I might be underwhelmed too if I manage to get one but since I encountered this kind of picture (not a 14364-2, but a fairly similar 105.005), I cannot stop myself wanting to try one on!

I'll probably keep being on the hunt for one and if I ever manage to find one, I'll update this thread for anyone curious!

I went through my photo archives and found the following pictures for your inspiration:

Thank you for that, looks great!!

Do you happen to remember if the bracelet was a ref. 1036/11 or another?

Doesn’t matter much, 1502, 1036, 8220 and 3010 look virtually identical - so do #11 and #511 endlinks.

I can see why you weren’t satisfied with this particular combination, though, the endlinks protrude the lugs and are rounded, not straight. Have you tried a 7-row (1503, 1037, 1068, 8270) on #70 or #570? They have a flat form on their visible top, so they’ll likely look better.
