OMEGA Constellation Bracelet BA 6552 / 864: Seamless Integration in Solid 18K Yellow Gold for the Iconic Manhattan

The OMEGA Constellation BA 6552 / 864 bracelet is a refined and luxurious solid 18K yellow gold bracelet, built for the iconic Constellation Manhattan series produced during the late 1990s to early 2000s. Known for its seamless integration and distinctive mono-rang (single horizontal row) design, this bracelet is a hallmark of OMEGA’s unique approach to watchmaking—where case and bracelet are designed as a single, flowing unit.

Crafted for Constellation models with 20mm integrated lugs, the BA 6552 / 864 is the correct factory-original bracelet for select full-gold or gold-bezel variants. Whether you’re restoring an original timepiece or upgrading to a full-gold setup, this bracelet ensures both visual harmony and enduring value.

Reference Breakdown

• BA: Indicates solid 18K yellow gold construction—no gold-plating or capping. Every visible and structural element, including links, end pieces, and clasp, is crafted from genuine 18K gold, adding both intrinsic and collectible value.

• 6552: Bracelet design code. This model features OMEGA’s signature mono-rang link style with wide, flat horizontal links that provide a smooth, polished look. The 6552 is known for its slightly broader and flatter profile compared to earlier iterations, offering a modern interpretation of the Constellation’s classic integrated bracelet.

• 864: The end link reference, custom-fitted for 20mm integrated lug Constellation cases. These end links are fully integrated—not removable or adaptable—designed for a flush, gapless connection between bracelet and case, in line with OMEGA’s Manhattan design philosophy.

Key Features

• Material: Solid 18K yellow gold, featuring a brushed top surface for subtle elegance and polished edge detailing for depth

• Link Design: Broad, flat horizontal mono-rang links for a streamlined appearance and smooth articulation

• End Links: Integrated 864 solid gold ends, shaped to match 20mm-lug Constellation Manhattan cases with total visual continuity

• Clasp: Concealed folding butterfly clasp in 18K gold, signed with the OMEGA logo, designed for secure and discreet closure

• Wearing Feel: Weighty yet balanced—comfortable for daily wear while delivering unmistakable gold presence on the wrist

This bracelet was made to accompany watches featuring gold dials, Roman numeral bezels, and Constellation’s signature “griffes” (case claws), offering a unified luxury presentation.
