OMEGA Constellation Bracelet BB 6557: Elegant Two-Tone Harmony in Gold and Steel

The OMEGA Constellation BB 6557 bracelet is a refined and luxurious two-tone bracelet, crafted from a combination of stainless steel and solid 18K yellow gold, specifically tailored for OMEGA Constellation Manhattan models from the early 2000s. Designed to reflect the iconic style of the Constellation series while offering versatile elegance, the BB 6557 bracelet seamlessly integrates precious metal with stainless durability—making it an ideal option for daily wear with unmistakable prestige.

With its mono-rang (single horizontal link row) design, the BB 6557 captures the architectural integrity of OMEGA’s integrated bracelet concept and delivers it in a bold, timeless two-tone execution.


Reference Breakdown

  • BB: The prefix “BB” denotes a bi-metal (two-tone) construction, combining stainless steel outer links with solid 18K yellow gold center elements. This layout strikes the perfect balance between strength and elegance—suitable for both formal and everyday settings.

  • 6557: The bracelet design code. This version features the renowned mono-rang (single-bar) horizontal link layout that defines the Constellation Manhattan series. The links are wide, flat, and slightly curved to fit the wrist comfortably, while the gold center segments provide warmth and contrast against the cool tone of the steel.


Key Features

  • Material: Combination of brushed stainless steel and solid 18K yellow gold, delivering both durability and prestige

  • Link Design: Wide horizontal links arranged in a mono-rang structure, with polished gold center bars that enhance the bracelet’s refined character

  • End Links: This bracelet is typically paired with integrated end links (not specified here), which are designed to sit flush with Constellation Manhattan cases—offering a seamless transition from case to bracelet

  • Clasp: Hidden folding clasp, subtly engraved with the OMEGA logo, providing secure wear and a clean outer appearance

  • Wearing Feel: Medium weight, ergonomic contouring, and flexible articulation make this bracelet both luxurious and highly wearable

The BB 6557 is ideal for Constellation models featuring gold bezel accents, Roman numeral engraving, or two-tone case construction.
