OMEGA Constellation Bracelet BA 6562 / 874: Refined 18K Yellow Gold Luxury for the Iconic Manhattan Series

The OMEGA Constellation BA 6562 / 874 bracelet is a meticulously engineered solid 18K yellow gold bracelet, specifically developed for OMEGA Constellation Manhattan models with integrated cases and 22mm lug width. Representing the evolution of the Constellation line into the 2000s, this bracelet preserves the heritage of OMEGA’s famous mono-rang (single horizontal row) design while adopting a slightly bolder, more modern wrist presence.

Designed for both comfort and prestige, the BA 6562 / 874 offers a seamless transition from case to bracelet and is a vital element in completing or restoring a full-gold Constellation model to its authentic factory form.

Reference Breakdown

• BA: This prefix designates solid 18K yellow gold throughout the bracelet. It confirms that all components—including the links, end links, and clasp—are crafted entirely from precious gold. There is no plating or gold cap involved; this is high-value material made to last and age beautifully.

• 6562: Bracelet design code. It features OMEGA’s signature mono-rang link layout, with flat, wide horizontal bars arranged in a single row across the wrist. This version is slightly broader and more robust than previous generations, reflecting the design trends of the early 2000s. The mono-rang construction allows for excellent flexibility while maintaining a sleek, unified visual appearance.

• 874: The end link reference, tailored precisely to fit OMEGA Constellation cases with 22mm integrated lugs. These end links are custom-shaped to sit flush with the case, continuing OMEGA’s vision of a fully integrated case and bracelet without spring bars or gaps.

Key Features

• Material: Solid 18K yellow gold, brushed for understated elegance and polished at the edges for visual definition

• Link Design: Wide horizontal mono-rang links, articulated to contour naturally around the wrist while providing a clean, minimalist profile

• End Links: Solid 874 end links designed to blend perfectly with 22mm Constellation cases

• Clasp: Hidden folding clasp, also crafted in 18K gold, signed with the OMEGA logo, offering a secure and discreet closure

• Wearing Feel: Hefty yet balanced—the bracelet’s wide links and soft curves offer both the unmistakable weight of gold and a comfortable all-day fit

This bracelet complements Constellation models featuring gold bezels with Roman numerals, champagne or silver dials, and the iconic “griffes” (claws) on the case.
