Forstner President (1450) Bracelet for Omega Speedmaster
Forstner President (1450) Bracelet for Omega Speedmaster
Forstner's Take on the 1450 Bracelet
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. With differently-sized rounded links extending all the way to the end piece (which itself is so rounded it doesn't extend flush to the lugs), it has an unmistakably distinctive look.
Forstner has faithfully recreated the 1450 bracelet (including true-to-original rounded solid H-shaped end pieces), with some extra features for convenience and comfort. The bracelet is also now fitted with Forstner's push-button milled clasp, and Forstner's 1450 bracelet now is fitted with an upgraded set of stretchy links behind the clasp.
Construction
The President (1450) bracelet is constructed of solid 316L stainless steel, and links taper from 20mm at the end piece to 16mm at the clasp. The 1450 bracelet is also fitted with upgraded stretch links behind the clasp to provide the optimal fit regardless of temperature.
- NOTE: if you would prefer to receive the bracelet without stretch links, please contact us at support@forstnerbands.com before placing your order.
