OMEGA De Ville Bracelet ST 6202 / 822: Timeless Stainless Steel Comfort with Classic Proportions

The OMEGA De Ville ST 6202 / 822 bracelet is a refined and durable stainless steel bracelet, purpose-built for OMEGA’s De Ville dress watches from the late 1980s through early 2000s. Designed as a slightly bolder alternative to the ST 6201, this bracelet features wider links and a flatter visual profile—ideal for wearers who prefer a bracelet with more presence without sacrificing comfort or elegance.

With its clean lines, multi-link layout, and finely brushed finish, the ST 6202 / 822 remains a popular choice among collectors and restorers who seek period-correct authenticity, excellent wearability, and enduring OMEGA quality.

Reference Breakdown

• ST: Denotes stainless steel construction—durable, corrosion-resistant, and capable of maintaining its finish over time. This material makes the bracelet perfect for everyday use while remaining visually versatile.

• 6202: This design code identifies a flat multi-link structure, broader than the 6201 and more modern in appearance. The slightly squared links offer a more substantial wrist feel and a cleaner, updated aesthetic suitable for both vintage and contemporary De Ville models.

• 822: The solid end link reference, designed to fit OMEGA De Ville cases with 18mm lug width. These end links are precisely contoured to provide a seamless and secure connection between the case and bracelet.

Key Features

• Material: Solid 316L stainless steel, softly brushed for a satin finish, with subtle polishing to enhance the contours

• Link Design: Horizontal multi-link layout with broader, flat links that taper slightly toward the clasp for ergonomic wear

• End Links: Solid 822 stainless steel end links engineered for flush, case-hugging integration with compatible De Ville cases

• Clasp: Traditional fold-over clasp engraved with the OMEGA logo, offering secure closure and a minimalist appearance

• Comfort: Medium weight with excellent articulation, making it ideal for all-day wear

Thanks to its streamlined design and balanced proportions, the ST 6202 / 822 offers just enough presence on the wrist while maintaining the elegance expected from the De Ville collection.
