Reference Breakdown

• ST: The prefix “ST” indicates that the bracelet is constructed from stainless steel. Renowned for its strength, corrosion resistance, and subtle sheen, stainless steel is the material of choice for both durability and timeless style.

• 1500: The bracelet design number. The 1500 series features a multi-link construction with tightly arranged, narrow rectangular links. This gives the bracelet a sleek, almost jewelry-like appearance while ensuring superior flexibility and comfort.

• 820: The solid end link reference, made to fit OMEGA De Ville cases with 18mm lug width. These end links are shaped to sit flush against the case, enhancing the bracelet’s integration and flow.

Key Features

• Material: Solid stainless steel, finished with a subtle blend of satin brushing and light polishing for visual balance

• Link Design: Fine, closely spaced horizontal links that articulate smoothly, making the bracelet exceptionally comfortable and ideal for smaller wrist sizes

• End Links: Solid 820 end links designed to align perfectly with standard De Ville lug shapes

• Clasp: Classic fold-over clasp engraved with the vintage OMEGA logo, secure and easy to operate

• Wearing Feel: Lightweight and fluid, this bracelet offers day-long comfort with a refined appearance

Its slim profile and fine detailing make it especially suitable for manual wind or quartz models where the case size is typically smaller and thinner.

Compatibility

The ST 1500 / 820 bracelet is designed for:

• OMEGA De Ville watches with 18mm lug width

• Authentic Vintage Design: Matches many De Ville models exactly as they were originally sold

• Comfortable and Flexible: Ideal for dress watches and slim wrists

• Clean Aesthetics: Adds refinement without drawing unnecessary attention
