The "Holy Grail" of Speedmaster Bracelets
The vintage Omega 1450 Bracelet has been famously lauded as "one of the best Speedmaster bracelets that has been produced," and is now routinely dubbed the "holy grail" of Omega bracelets. It is substantial, extremely comfortable, and well-engineered. Forstner has faithfully recreated this legend, keeping the distinctive rounded links and solid H-shaped end pieces while adding modern features for convenience and comfort.
Recreating a Legend: Modern Details
Forstner's take on the 1450 includes:
- Solid Construction: Made from solid 316L stainless steel (no hollow links).
- Comfort First: Features differently-sized rounded links that extend all the way to the end piece for a "draping" feel on the wrist.
- On-the-Fly Adjustment: Now fitted with our new milled clasp with push-button micro-adjustment, allowing you to change the fit instantly without tools.
Specifications
- Material: Solid 316L Stainless Steel
- Finish: Fully brushed throughout
- Width: Tapers from the lug width (20mm or 19mm) to 16mm at the clasp
- Length: Adjustable from 120mm to 180mm (fits wrists approx. 6-8 inches)
- Adjustment: Single screw system for link removal + clasp micro-adjustment
Compatibility

Since being given my Speedmaster 1861 as a present, I've loved everything about it apart from the strap. Apparently this was addressed in 2021 with the updated movement etc, so I looked for this strap from Omega. It was then that I found Forstner and reviews and blogs relating to the 1450 bracelet. I have gone from wearing my Speedmaster occasionally at weekends with a leather strap, to now wearing it almost daily. The comfort, finish and quality are second to none along with the on the fly adjustment being great on a hot day. Lastly it looks great and I'm very glad I found these guys!
To replace the Omega bracelet on my Speedmaster Hesalite, which was stolen.
Better, lighter, well-finished, and less expensive, with the vintage touch
that the original lacked.
I'm considering replacing the 93150 bracelet on my Submariner, but I have the impression that the sides are brushed and not polished like the original.
The on-the-fly adjustable clasp is very comfortable
Superb bracelet! Fits spot on and well made!
One of the most flawlessly presented aftermarket bracelets I've ever owned. Fit and finish is superb and it's appallingly comfortable. Endlinks aren't as seated as I'd like with the supplied springbars but swapping them out for some marginally thicker ones (1.8/20mm) solved that. Toolless adjust is great and offers a good range of flexibility.
Great bracelet. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the on the fly adjust is a bit clunky - but delighted it’s there!
Hi Gary
Thanks for the review. Feel free to contact us to discuss the clasp. If there is an issue it will be rectified.

Got a bad feeling about the assembly. The screw's diameter seems to be a little too light/small, lot of scratch on the side of the band, claps mushroom not welded like it should be. Won't use it, afraid that it will brake.
Hello.
If you have an issue with the bracelet, please contact us with your photos and we will gladly exchange it for a new one. The 1450 is one of our most popular bracelets and since the update of the spring links a few years ago, it's been solid.
It's always better to reach out to find a solution rather than leave a negative review. Rest assured your issue will be resolved.
Thanks
