The OMEGA De Ville ST 6504 / 838 bracelet is a high-quality stainless steel bracelet, purpose-built for the De Ville Prestige line during the late 1990s and early 2000s. With its bold, flat link construction and precise finishing, it reflects OMEGA’s shift toward a more contemporary interpretation of the classic dress watch bracelet. Offering comfort, strength, and an updated design language, the ST 6504 / 838 is ideal for those who appreciate refined style with a bit more wrist presence.

Whether you're completing a vintage-correct restoration or upgrading your timepiece for everyday elegance, this bracelet offers a flawless match for 20mm-lug De Ville cases.

Reference Breakdown

• ST: This prefix indicates stainless steel construction—ideal for resistance to wear, oxidation, and corrosion while maintaining a polished and professional appearance.

• 6504: The design code associated with a broad three-piece flat link design. The center link is typically polished while the outer links are brushed, offering a subtle two-tone texture in stainless steel alone. Compared to the 6503, this bracelet is slightly wider and more substantial, making it well-suited for slightly larger or more prominent De Ville cases.

• 838: The solid end link reference, engineered for 20mm lug width. These solid steel end links are shaped to sit flush with the case, creating a tight, integrated appearance with no gaps between watch head and bracelet.

Key Features

• Material: Solid 316L stainless steel, brushed for softness on the outer links and polished at the center for contrast

• Link Structure: Bold, flat, three-link configuration with a modern, slightly heavier wrist presence than earlier designs

• End Links: Solid 838 end links designed specifically for De Ville Prestige models with 20mm lugs

• Clasp: Fold-over OMEGA-signed clasp, low-profile and secure, offering a clean finish with discreet branding

• Wearing Comfort: Medium-to-heavy weight with a solid wrist feel, excellent articulation, and refined fit

Despite its modern dimensions, the ST 6504 / 838 maintains the elegant identity expected from the De Ville range, making it perfect for business wear or special occasions.

Compatibility

The ST 6504 / 838 bracelet is designed for:

• OMEGA De Ville Prestige models with 20mm lug width

• Contemporary Styling: A modern look that still respects De Ville’s dress heritage

• Solid OEM Component: Factory-correct for many 20mm-lug De Ville Prestige models

• Comfortable Fit: Balanced weight and fluid wrist articulation

• Rarity: Less common than 18mm variations, especially in excellent original condition
