Forstner Bracelet for Omega Speedmaster: Wide Komfit "JB" Mesh w/ Straight Ends

Forstner Bracelet for Omega Speedmaster: Wide Version Komfit "JB" Mesh Watch Bracelet with Straight Ends

Like new condition, only installed once and removed. Retails for $125, yours for $85 shipped CONUS.

FROM FORSTNER:

"Forstner's stainless steel expandable mesh watch band (called the "Komfit") was one of the only watch bracelets sanctioned by NASA for use on manned space missions. It was worn by astronauts throughout the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, and even made it to the surface of the moon. Now, after a long hiatus during which time only vintage models could be sourced at high prices, we have reissued and improved this classic watch strap." More details on Forstner site.

The Komfit band is offered in two lengths: "Original" and "Regular.
This is the "Original" and reflects the length once worn by astronauts over their space suits, and as a result is equivalent to a "long" size. The "Original" works best on wrists at least 7 inches (18 cm) in circumference and will fit wrists up to approximately 10 inches (25.5 cm) in circumference.
