Correct Oyster Bracelet for Tudor Chrono 79280

[aleiberman]

Does anyone know the correct Tudor Oyster Bracelet model number and end-links to fit a Chrono model #79280?

Thanks,

Aaron

Not sure if the 79280 and the 79270 Tudor use the same bracelet, But the 79270 uses a 78400 bracelet and 605 end-links. Hope this helps.

Much more difficult to answer, unfortunately.

Strapcode makes an oyster bracelet w/ SEL's specially for Tudor chronos. They have an all brushed finish.

Thanks, Engi!
I couldn't find it either. They do have an original Tudor jubilee, but it's a bit steep.

I noticed that one also Dan. It is steep.

Although Tudor watches are not on general sale in the UK Tudor bracelets can be ordered through an Rolex AD, I did this with one of my watches. They rang Rolex UK and I received the bracelet a few day later. I know Rolex USA operates in a different way but might be worth asking

Thanks guys, now I just need to source one at a reasonable price.

Yep, I've done exactly the same thing, to be honest I was amazed how quickly (and cheaply) I managed to get a non-folded link Tudor bracelet for my Tudor Submariner, however I am trying to get hold of a 62490 right now and it is proving harder to get, I am told it's just because they are out of stock....hope one shows up soon

Rarer than hen's teeth. The Rolex dealership here wont order any Tudor (Rolex) products. Keep an eye on the 'Bay of Thieves', one may come up....eventually!!!

Good to know. I don't think many people know about this option. It cost me around £200 a couple of years ago - as you say you don't get an exact replacement of the original i.e a folded link bracelet - but a brand new bracelet at that price point is to be considered. I replaced mine because I wanted to keep the original and was worried about the functionality of a twenty year old bracelet and losing my watch because of fatigue failure.

The new and old (folded link)


I also ordered a brand new Rolex bracelet for a 1950's Oyster date for about the same price through the same AD from Rolex.
