The bracelet that this clasp comes from is from watch 33210415101001.

Full bracelet number is 020STZ015403.

The details are somewhat vague on the Extranet, but I think the item you are looking for is this:

118STZ015915 | STEEL ATTATCHMENT LINK CLASP ASSEMB. 12H

Unfortunately this is discontinued...

"Information: This item is not available anymore"

No alternate part is given.

I wound up using the Forstner end links and the Omega bracelet. Looks great IMO dwUvudI

According to the search done by Al on the Omega parts database the interconnecting link that attach the Speedmaster 57 clasp swing arm to the bracelet has been discontinued. Based on the fact that part is needed to retrofit the clasp on the 50th anniversary bracelet the retrofit may not be possible.

On the Speedmaster 3861 original bracelet, which lacked the pushbutton extension on the clasp, some people retrofitted the Chronoscope clasp (which has the push button extension) by substituting the swing arm of the Chrono scope clasp with the one from the original clasp. Wonder if that would be possible as well on the Speedmaster 57 clasp.

Since you have the Speedmaster 57 bracelet, could you please measure the width of the swing arm and how long it is (in mm ?) For reference below a picture of the Chronoscope clasp from Internet:




The swing arm length of my 50th anniversary bracelet clasp is about 64 MM and the width is about 6 MM at the bracelet connecting link end. Thanks 😀

It definitely will be good information to have! If it doesn't work though, I think I'll be okay (the extra micro I added to the clasp helps a lot).

Currently wearing it, about to throw some tri-tips on the grill for my birthday, have some baked potatoes in the oven, going to do some Dead-Heading on this Rose while I wait for the oven to preheat....

I can live without an adjustable clasp if I have to. 😀

Hi again Al, could you provide the reference number of the attachment link of the 50th anniversary bracelet 020STZ011626 ? Wonder if it can be ordered or if it’s discontinued as well.

Thanks,

Francisco

Which of the 2 part numbers above is the one that goes on the end of the clap arm (red shade below)

Answering my own question, the swing arm of the Speedmaster 57 clasp is 7 MM in width, so it is not a direct fit on the 50th anniversary bracelet (6 MM width) nor on the Speedmaster 321 bracelet (6.5 MM width).

The modification on either case is not that difficult, but would require to file either the Speedy 57 arm or the corresponding 50th anniversary / 321 bracelet interconnecting link 1 MM / 0.5 MM respectively to make it fit.

Good idea @ErichPryde 😀

@Archer :
Can you help out in providing the part number highlighted in yellow below (clasp connecting link)? The bracelet is the one from the Speedmaster 57. The bracelet end links are labeled STZ015952; the clasp model is 117STZ015404. We are trying to find out the part number and if it can be ordered from Omega to retrofit the clasp with push button into the 50th anniversary bracelet reference 020STZ011626.

Thanks!

Francisco


Contact your preferred AD or boutique and they can look up the parts numbers and order for you. That's what I've always done.
