OMEGA Constellation Bracelet BA 1652 / 962: Ultimate 18K Yellow Gold Integration for the Iconic Manhattan Line

The OMEGA Constellation BA 1652 / 962 bracelet is a luxurious and sophisticated solid 18K yellow gold bracelet created specifically for the OMEGA Constellation Manhattan series of the early 2000s. Representing one of the highest expressions of OMEGA’s integrated watch design, this bracelet completes the Constellation’s signature look—where the watch head and bracelet merge seamlessly into a singular design statement.

With its iconic “mono-rang” horizontal link architecture, solid gold build, and impeccable fit, the BA 1652 / 962 is a collector’s favorite and a true representation of Swiss precision fused with timeless elegance.

Reference Breakdown

• BA: This prefix indicates the bracelet is constructed from solid 18K yellow gold—not gold plated or capped. Every component, from the clasp to the links and end pieces, is genuine gold, adding substantial intrinsic and aesthetic value.

• 1652: The bracelet design reference. It features OMEGA’s unmistakable “mono-rang” horizontal link design, a hallmark of the Constellation Manhattan collection. The links are flat, slightly curved, and closely articulated for a snug and fluid fit on the wrist. The 1652 design has a slightly more modern and broader appearance than earlier series like the 1448 or 1551, adding a more contemporary feel to the classic design.

• 962: The solid end link reference, built for 20mm lug width Constellation cases with integrated lugs. These end links are not typical add-ons but form an essential part of the seamless case-to-bracelet integration that defines the Constellation Manhattan aesthetic.

Key Features

• Material: Solid 18K yellow gold, with a fine brushed finish across the surface and polished details on the edges for added dimension

• Design: Wide horizontal links in a mono-rang configuration, curved for ergonomic wrist hugging and exceptional comfort

• End Links: Integrated 962 end links, precisely engineered for a flush fit with 20mm Constellation Manhattan cases

• Clasp: Hidden butterfly-style folding clasp, engraved with the OMEGA logo, delivering secure closure with a clean, uninterrupted look

• Wearing Experience: Substantial yet elegant, offering the unmistakable weight of gold without compromising comfort or flexibility

This bracelet transforms the Constellation into a complete piece of high jewelry with the practicality of a Swiss timepiece.
