Forstner has re-released a fan favorite--the 1450 bracelet for the first generation Omega Speedmaster First Omega in Space (FOIS)! During its hiatus, Forstner improved this classic design. With a size-correct 19mm bracelet, solid links and solid end links all made of 316L stainless steel, a simple screw system for link removal, the bracelet has always been true to the original 1450 band. However, we've ditched the spring links behind the clasp in favor of Forstner's push button milled clasp with a tool free micro-adjustment mechanism for the most optimal feel and wearing experience.
But why re-release this for the first generation FOIS, given that it was discontinued several years ago? It's not only because the original FOIS demanded bracelet options--Forstner's diving into 19mm fitted bands, with this release as just the beginning. In the coming months, Forstner will be releasing fitted bracelets for the newest FOIS (released in 2024), Zenith El Primero 38mm, and potentially the IWC Mark XV!
Stay tuned for updates!
