The OMEGA Seamaster BA 1503 / 825 bracelet represents the perfect harmony between rugged dive-watch functionality and high-end Swiss luxury. Constructed entirely from solid 18K yellow gold, this bracelet was designed to complement premium Seamaster Professional models from the 1990s and early 2000s, especially those combining technical excellence with a strong aesthetic presence. It delivers substantial wrist feel, visual impact, and timeless value—all while upholding OMEGA’s legendary standards for reliability and fit.

Whether you're restoring a factory-gold Seamaster or upgrading your timepiece with a true collector’s piece, the BA 1503 / 825 stands as a benchmark in precious metal sports watch design.

Reference Breakdown

• BA: This prefix confirms the bracelet is made of solid 18-carat yellow gold (boîtier or jaune), including links, end links, and clasp. This is not gold-plated or gold-capped—each component carries intrinsic value and long-term collectibility.

• 1503: The bracelet design code. The 1503 features a five-piece link layout, similar in structure to the 1501, but with slightly rounded center links, providing an even more fluid and elegant appearance while retaining the robust character expected of a Seamaster.

• 825: The solid end link reference, made for 20mm lug width Seamaster cases, commonly used on quartz and automatic Seamaster Professional models in the 300M Diver series. The 825 end links provide a tight, flush fit for cases with traditional, non-integrated lug profiles.

Key Features

• Material: Full 18K yellow gold, combining a brushed finish on the outer links with polished center links for luxurious contrast

• Link Design: Classic five-piece layout with smooth articulation and slightly rounded center links for added comfort and elegance

• End Links: Solid 825 end links precisely machined to integrate seamlessly with Seamaster 300M Diver cases

• Clasp: Solid gold fold-over diver’s clasp, engraved with the OMEGA logo and built to offer secure closure and dive-ready reliability

• Wearing Experience: Substantial in weight but impeccably balanced; offers a confident presence without discomfort

This bracelet is just as capable underwater as it is under a shirt cuff—perfect for collectors who want a daily-wearable luxury diver.
