Reference Breakdown

  • ST: The prefix “ST” stands for stainless steel, indicating the bracelet is made entirely from this durable, corrosion-resistant metal. Ideal for everyday wear, stainless steel is prized for its strength and clean, versatile appearance.

  • 1552: The bracelet design number. The 1552 series continues the evolution of OMEGA’s famous mono-rang architecture—featuring single-row horizontal links that are broader and more substantial than earlier versions (like 1448 or 1550). The links are gently curved to wrap the wrist, providing excellent ergonomics and a sleek, uniform look.

  • 862: The end link reference, engineered specifically for 20mm integrated-lug Constellation Manhattan cases. These end links are precision-fitted to the case, forming a flush, seamless transition that enhances the visual unity between watch head and bracelet.


Key Features

  • Material: Brushed stainless steel, with subtle polished bevels for contrast and definition

  • Design: Flat horizontal mono-rang links, arranged in a single row and curved slightly for comfort and flexibility

  • End Links: Solid 862 end links, tailored to 20mm integrated-lug Constellation Manhattan cases—no spring bars or visible gaps

  • Clasp: Hidden folding clasp, engraved with the OMEGA logo, offering security and maintaining a continuous visual profile

  • Wearing Feel: Smooth, mid-weight, and extremely comfortable—suitable for both business and casual attire

This bracelet is best paired with full stainless steel Constellation models featuring Roman numeral bezels, silver or black dials, and the collection’s signature “griffes” (claws) flanking the case.
