SEAMASTER SP 6502 - 830

OMEGA Seamaster Bracelet SP 6502 / 830: Rugged Refinement for Full-Size Professionals

The OMEGA Seamaster SP 6502 / 830 bracelet stands out as a purpose-built component engineered for the full-size Seamaster Professional 300M models of the late 1990s and early 2000s. It blends durability, secure fitment, and sporty styling—qualities that made it the ideal companion for one of OMEGA’s most iconic dive watches.

Built for performance but styled with understated elegance, this bracelet is a go-to choice for collectors looking to maintain authenticity or restore their watch to its original configuration.


Understanding the Reference

  • 6502: This number refers to the core bracelet design. The 6502 series features a robust three-piece link construction, slightly thicker and more angular than earlier bracelet lines like the 1500-series. It was introduced as OMEGA improved the structural integrity of its dive watch bracelets.

  • 830: The end link designation. These solid end links are engineered specifically to fit the full-size 41mm Seamaster Professional 300M case with 20mm lug width.

  • SP Prefix: A designation often related to manufacturing variation, supplier batch, or market delivery—physically, it is identical to standard 6502 / 830 versions in design and functionality.


Key Features

  • Material: Solid stainless steel with a fully brushed finish, ideal for resisting scratches and maintaining a tool-watch look

  • Link Construction: Three solid, flat links per segment, offering both strength and fluid wrist movement

  • End Links: Solid 830 end links that seat tightly into the case lugs for a seamless and stable connection

  • Clasp: OMEGA-signed fold-over clasp with secure push-button release and diver extension for wetsuit use

  • Finish: Uniform satin brushing across links and clasp, giving the bracelet a rugged, non-flashy appearance

The SP 6502 / 830 is designed for comfort during extended wear. Its articulation and weight distribution are ideal for a watch head of the Seamaster’s size.


Compatibility

This bracelet fits 41mm Seamaster Professional 300M models, including but not limited to:

  • 2531.80 – Blue wave dial, automatic

  • 2541.80 – Quartz version

  • 2254.50 – Black dial with sword hands

  • 2231.50 – Titanium case version with identical lug profile

It is not compatible with mid-size models (e.g., 36mm cases), which require narrower end links and bracelets.


Why Collectors Value It

  • OEM Fit: Factory-correct bracelet for several iconic Seamaster references

  • Built to Last: Sturdy enough for diving, stylish enough for everyday wear

  • Functional: Diver extension, tight end-link fit, and smooth link movement

  • Harder to Source: No longer in production and increasingly rare in excellent condition


Final Thoughts

The OMEGA Seamaster SP 6502 / 830 bracelet is a trusted companion to one of the most famous dive watches of the modern era. It combines strength, precision engineering, and classic OMEGA styling in a way that few modern alternatives can match. If you're restoring a Seamaster or looking to complete your full-size Diver 300M, this bracelet remains an essential piece.
