Created in the early 2000s to support the launch of OMEGA’s revolutionary Co-Axial escapement technology, this bracelet brings together minimalist styling, robust materials, and ergonomic comfort—all in one perfectly integrated piece.

Reference Breakdown

• ST: The prefix “ST” indicates the bracelet is made of stainless steel—durable, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for everyday wear.

• 1600: The design reference of the bracelet. It features a flat three-piece link layout, with brushed outer links and polished center links. This subtle contrast delivers both a formal and contemporary look, suitable for both business and leisure settings.

• 940: The solid end link code, specifically designed to fit OMEGA De Ville cases with 19mm lug width. The 940 end links are precisely machined for a tight, flush fit, ensuring a seamless connection between bracelet and case.

Key Features

• Material: High-grade stainless steel, combining brushed and polished surfaces for visual balance and long-lasting resilience

• Link Structure: Flat, solid three-piece links that offer both structural strength and smooth articulation

• End Links: Solid 940 stainless steel end links engineered for De Ville models with 19mm lug width

• Clasp: Elegant butterfly deployant clasp, featuring dual push-button release and discreet OMEGA engraving—secure and virtually invisible when closed

• Wearing Comfort: Medium-weight, well-balanced, and ergonomically curved for superior comfort on the wrist

This bracelet is designed to complement the De Ville's clean case lines and elegant dials, while being practical enough for daily wear thanks to its robust clasp and scratch-resistant finish.

Compatibility

The ST 1600 / 940 bracelet is compatible with:

• OMEGA De Ville Co-Axial Chronometers with 19mm lug width

• Models from the early to mid-2000s, including references featuring Caliber 2500
