The Story
The flat link bracelet was, in our view, one of the most beautifully designed, and comfortable, bracelets ever offered by Omega. Its links were thin, so as to not overpower the watch with which it was paired. It was stretchy, so it remained comfortable throughout the day, despite temperature fluctuations. It was finished beautifully, with the polished outer and brushed inner links (a finish that was continued onto the clasp itself). And it had loads of rattly vintage charm. Forstner has made its own version of the flat link bracelet, keeping the beauty of the original but improving it for fit, convenience, and wearability.
Construction
Solid 316L stainless steel, including solid steel end piece (to provide a more flush fit to the case). Links can be removed conveniently via a single-screw system. In addition, Forstner has added a set of spring-loaded "stretchy" links behind the clasp--keeping with the vintage feel--to ensure that the bracelet will fit comfortably all day long, despite variations in temperature and weather.
Fits
- 19mm end links fit the First Omega in Space ("FOIS") case (including the CK2998 limited editions and Hodinkee 10th Anniversary limited edition). The 19mm end links have been reported to fit the Speedmaster 60th anniversary Trilogy edition, though not as precisely as the cases mentioned above.
- The pre-2021 20mm end links fit the Omega Speedmaster Professional case until the introduction of the 2021 caliber 3861 version. The post-2021 20mm end link fit the new 3861-caliber Speedmaster, the blue Snoopy, and the 50th anniversary Apollo 11 edition.
Length/Width
Bracelet tapers from 20mm at the end piece to 16mm at the clasp. Length is adjustable (via single screw system and micro-adjustment in clasp) from 120mm to 180mm (fits wrists ranging from approximately 6 to 8 inches). Screwdriver included for sizing.
Finish
Choice of polished outer/brushed inner links, or fully brushed.
Included
Spring bars, screwdriver, one pair of end links.

Quite cheap and flimsy bracelet. Price point is decent but that's it.
We welcome genuine feedback, but we strongly disagree with the description of the bracelet as “cheap and flimsy.” The bracelet is made using solid materials and is intentionally lightweight by design to remain faithful to the original 1960s flat-link bracelets, which were never intended to feel bulky or oversized.
For the price point, the bracelet offers very strong value and is accurately represented in both our photos and description. While personal preference is subjective, your comments do not fairly reflect the actual quality or construction of the item.
We also offer everyone the opportunity to return a bracelet, which you declined. If the product had truly been as poor as claimed, we would reasonably expect the return option to have been taken rather than keeping the item and leaving feedback that we feel is misleading and does not accurately represent either the product or our business.
Very pleased with the strap, which is the all-brushed version. Comfortable to wear and has a look that matches a late 60s Speedmaster very well. The stretch links are useful to have. Very pleased.
Great bracelet! Just a small detail , the clasp is really hard to release
Authentic looks and feel, just love the stretch links that give all-day comfort.
Very comfortable bracelet - the stretchy links are excellent. Finish is great - i bought the all brushed model. I did have trouble fitting it but found a small QC issue with the end links. Once sorted it has been fine. Recommended.
