Reference Breakdown

• BA: The prefix “BA” denotes solid 18-carat yellow gold throughout the bracelet—this includes all links, end links, and the clasp. No plating or cap layers—this is genuine gold, crafted to last and designed to impress.

• 6501: This is the bracelet’s design code. The 6501 series features a modern three-piece flat link construction, broader and more structured than the older five-link designs. The polished center links contrast elegantly with the brushed outer links, giving the bracelet a sleek, contemporary finish that pairs beautifully with the bold bezel and case of the Seamaster Diver.

• 827: The solid end link reference, tailored specifically to fit Seamaster 300M Diver models with 20mm lugs. The 827 end links are machined with precision to ensure a snug, flush fit between the bracelet and the watch case.
