OMEGA Seamaster Bracelet TI 1523 / 825: Titanium Evolution of the Iconic Diver’s Bracelet

The OMEGA Seamaster TI 1523 / 825 bracelet is a lightweight, high-performance titanium version of one of OMEGA’s most iconic bracelet designs. Developed in the early 2000s, the 1523 / 825 configuration was built to complement the full-size Seamaster Professional Diver 300M (41mm), offering the same signature style seen on the wrists of James Bond—but with the added benefits of titanium construction.

As an evolution of the beloved 1503 / 825 and 1504 / 825 stainless steel versions, this titanium variant provides unmatched comfort, corrosion resistance, and hypoallergenic properties—making it an ideal choice for divers, professionals, and collectors who prefer lighter, more advanced materials.

Reference Breakdown

• TI: Indicates full titanium construction. Titanium is ~45% lighter than steel and offers excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion and skin irritation.

• 1523: The bracelet design number. It features a five-piece link layout, similar to the original “Bond” bracelet, with alternating brushed and polished finishes and solid construction.

• 825: The solid end link code, designed to fit the 41mm Seamaster Professional case with 20mm lugs, ensuring a seamless integration between watch and bracelet.

This combination results in a bracelet that is not only aesthetically faithful to OMEGA tradition but also improved in material performance.

Key Features

• Material: Full titanium—brushed finish with polished accents on inner links for a classic Seamaster aesthetic

• Link Design: Iconic five-piece links offering flexibility, wrist articulation, and visual depth

• End Links: Solid 825 titanium end links provide a snug, secure fit to the Seamaster case

• Clasp: Titanium fold-over clasp with OMEGA logo engraving, push-button release, and diver extension

• Appearance: Matte grey tone typical of titanium, providing a more subdued, technical look than the shinier steel versions

Despite its professional tool-watch function, this bracelet remains stylish enough for casual or business wear, making it incredibly versatile.

Compatibility

The TI 1523 / 825 bracelet is designed for full-size Seamaster Diver 300M (41mm) models with 20mm lug width, including:

• 2531.80 – Automatic blue wave dial

• 2541.80 – Quartz version

• 2254.50 – Black dial, sword hands

• 2231.50 – Titanium version of the Seamaster Professional

Note: This bracelet is best matched with titanium-cased Seamaster models (like 2231.50) but is technically compatible with stainless steel cases for users who prefer titanium on the wrist.

Why It’s Highly Regarded

• Titanium Construction: Ultra-lightweight, durable, hypoallergenic, and perfect for aquatic environments

• Factory Original: Correct bracelet for specific titanium Seamaster references

• Comfortable Fit: Ideal for daily wear or long dives

• Rare Variant: Far less common than stainless steel 1523 / 825, especially in excellent condition

Final Thoughts

The OMEGA Seamaster TI 1523 / 825 bracelet represents the ultimate evolution of the classic Seamaster Diver look. Combining legendary design with advanced titanium material, it delivers exceptional performance and a sleek aesthetic. For collectors, divers, and enthusiasts of modern tool watches, this bracelet is a perfect mix of tradition, innovation, and comfort.
