OMEGA De Ville Bracelet ST 1509 / 836: Refined Stainless Steel Luxury for the Timeless Dress Watch

The OMEGA De Ville ST 1509 / 836 bracelet is a classic stainless steel piece crafted to suit the elegance and understated sophistication of the OMEGA De Ville dress watch collection, particularly from the late 1980s through the early 1990s. Designed with smooth, polished lines and a clean aesthetic, this bracelet is built for comfort, formal appeal, and long-term durability—making it a favorite for collectors restoring vintage De Ville models or enthusiasts seeking an authentic upgrade.

Compared to the more intricate link designs of earlier models, the ST 1509 / 836 offers a streamlined, wider-link layout that sits flush against the wrist while maintaining the lightness and refinement that define the De Ville name.

Reference Breakdown

• ST: The prefix “ST” stands for stainless steel, indicating the bracelet is constructed entirely from corrosion-resistant, finely finished steel. It’s easy to maintain and ideal for both daily wear and formal occasions.

• 1509: The bracelet’s design reference. This model features broad, flat rectangular links, giving it a more modern and minimalist appearance than multi-link predecessors like the 1507 or 1508. The simplified geometry makes it visually clean while offering a solid, premium wrist feel.

• 836: The solid end link reference, designed to fit OMEGA De Ville cases with 18mm lug width. These end links are precision-machined for a flush fit with the case, ensuring a seamless connection with no gaps or misalignment.

Key Features

• Material: High-quality stainless steel, finished with alternating brushed and polished surfaces for depth and visual contrast

• Link Style: Flat, wide three-piece links that provide smooth articulation while remaining structurally robust

• End Links: Solid 836 end links shaped for perfect integration with compatible De Ville models

• Clasp: Fold-over signed OMEGA clasp, secure and discreet, keeping the bracelet visually continuous

• Wearing Comfort: Medium-weight with excellent balance—sits close to the wrist for formal elegance and long-wearing comfort

This bracelet design favors clean lines over ornamentation, making it ideal for pairing with minimal De Ville dials and polished bezels.
