OMEGA De Ville Bracelet DA 6202 / 822: Vintage Stainless Steel Sophistication Refined

The OMEGA De Ville DA 6202 / 822 bracelet is a beautifully balanced stainless steel bracelet crafted for the timeless elegance of OMEGA’s De Ville collection. Produced during the late 1980s and into the 1990s, this bracelet was engineered for slim De Ville dress watches—delivering subtle luxury, wrist comfort, and a polished finish that matches the understated styling of the De Ville line.

As an evolution of the 6201 design, the DA 6202 / 822 bracelet features slightly broader rectangular links, offering a smoother profile and a bit more visual presence while retaining the same flexible, easy-wearing feel. This bracelet is a perfect fit for collectors restoring period-correct De Ville references or anyone seeking to complete a dress watch with factory-original refinement.

Reference Breakdown

• DA: This prefix designates the bracelet is made of stainless steel, with “DA” often used for specific batches or regional codes during the 1980s and 1990s. All visible and structural components, including the clasp and end links, are made of durable, corrosion-resistant steel.

• 6202: The design reference code. This version features broad, flat links arranged in a horizontal, articulated layout. Compared to the finer 6201 series, the 6202 provides a more prominent look on the wrist without becoming bulky—retaining its dress-watch appeal.

• 822: The solid end link reference, designed to fit OMEGA cases with 18mm lug width. These end links ensure a tight, integrated fit that visually and physically connects the case and bracelet seamlessly.

Key Features

• Material: High-grade stainless steel, with a light brushed finish and polished accents on the link edges for contrast

• Link Style: Horizontally oriented, flat rectangular links that taper slightly for ergonomic comfort and a sleek profile

• End Links: Solid 822 end links machined for flush integration with straight-lug De Ville cases

• Clasp: Fold-over clasp engraved with the OMEGA logo, offering a secure and refined closure

• Wearing Experience: Light, flexible, and incredibly comfortable—designed for smaller dress watches and long-term wear

This bracelet offers a refined profile, suitable for formal settings, office wear, and collectors who prefer a classic and unobtrusive look.
