The New Speedmaster Bracelet (Fitted On An 1861 Moonwatch) - Lugs and Lume

When the newest Omega Speedmaster models were released with modernized co-axial movements, I was more excited about the new style bracelet than the watch itself. I said to myself: "Wow, that's the Speedmaster bracelet I've been waiting for!" I purchased my 1861-powered Speedmaster in 2018, deciding to go with the black alligator strap (the bracelet […]

The bracelet is definitely a step up on the new version if you like the look of the taper.

The Uncle Seiko 1479 bracelet might also be a "good enough" budget alternative to the 3861 OEM bracelet (uncleseiko.com/collections/omega/products/us1479-omega-speedmaster-bracelet-20mm).

Uncle Seiko makes some good looking stuff, I haven't tried any of the products yet though. How's the fit and finish on the 1479 bracelet? I'm really intrigued by the US1450 President Bracelet as well.

Haha, I wouldn't know since I don't have any Uncle Seiko bracelets.  😂

I do have a Forstner flat link bracelet for my 3861 which I find to be a more comfortable than the OEM 3861 bracelet.  Fit and finish is really nice and love the stretchy links on them.  Only downside is the stamped clasp but I guess you can argue that it's more period accurate.
