OMEGA Constellation Bracelet DB 6551 / 863: Two-Tone Precision and Integrated Elegance

The OMEGA Constellation DB 6551 / 863 bracelet is a beautifully balanced two-tone bracelet, combining brushed stainless steel with solid 18K yellow gold center bars, created for Constellation Manhattan models of the late 1990s to early 2000s. Representing OMEGA’s iconic mono-rang (single horizontal link) architecture, the DB 6551 / 863 offers a harmonious blend of refined styling, precious materials, and integrated construction—designed for seamless visual and functional unity with the case.

This bracelet is ideal for collectors restoring bi-metal Constellation watches or enthusiasts looking to enhance their timepiece with a correct and luxurious factory-original component.

Reference Breakdown

• DB: The “DB” prefix indicates two-tone construction, with the outer structure made of stainless steel and the center elements composed of solid 18K yellow gold (not plated). This combination adds visual warmth, value, and versatility to the bracelet, making it ideal for both casual and formal settings.

• 6551: The bracelet design code. It features the timeless mono-rang layout, a single row of horizontal links that taper slightly and are curved to match the wrist’s natural contour. The 6551 is broader and more substantial than earlier mono-rang designs, reflecting updated styling for the new millennium while remaining faithful to the Constellation identity.

• 863: The end link reference, custom-designed to fit 19mm integrated-lug Constellation Manhattan cases. These end links are flush-mounted into the case with no spring bars or traditional lugs, providing a seamless, flowing connection from watch head to bracelet.
